Wall Street's investment of Americans' retirement savings in oil, coal, and gas companies has sparked a virtual march led by environmental activists like Bill McKibben and Bill de Blasio. The campaign, #RetireBigOil, aims to pressure Wall Street into offering climate-friendly options in 401(k) plans. McKibben highlights that over 25% of 401(k) retirement savings are invested in these fossil fuel companies. The movement has drawn criticism, with some questioning the use of petroleum products by the activists.
