Nowadays, almost everyone knows what a bank is. Some people hate them, some people love them. It all depends which side you are standing on and/or whether winning or losing out of your bank-deposited money bag which is ultimately derived from screwing up Mother Nature somehow, somewhere along man´s economic line.

Although banks might tell you millions of times they are there to help you, by now most of you out there know what they are for. 

Any bank´s goal is to make more money out of your money or someone else´s money, besides having some siphons stuck here and there in the mud to fatten up its vaults, if it can get away with this. As simple as that.

But what most people don´t know is what a bank does with your money or any depositor´s money. 

Although today´s banks make annual reports available to the public, these don´t tell you jack of what is going on at the bank´s gut level. 

No bank will ever tell you, for example, that it is screwing up the environment with people´s money somewhere around the world at any given time.  

Unless caught with their crap in their hands, banks will always paint wonderful and rosy scenarios for various reasons: To keep their money-laden ship afloat, to hide their blood sucking, to continue loan sharking, to keep catching the public´s money, etc.

Banks mean business. And there are hundreds upon hundreds of banks all over the planet.

Amongst the numerous banks that can be found worldwide, the World Bank stands out.

And this bank is not free from creating environmental problems with its investments.
