One of the larger Dutch pension funds PME will stop investing in fossil fuels. 1.2 billion euros in shares will now be available for wind farms and other new energy generators.

Guest on Radio1 is Roos Wijker of Follow This, an organization that wants to bring about change by buying shares in Big Oil, especially from Shell. This clip features English subtitles.
