ETHICAL INVESTMENT DRIVES CHANGE
Media coverage of our planet’s Climate Emergency and the massive plastic mountains which are ruining our natural world seem never-ending. At last people are waking up to the calamity we all face
Indeed, recently it was reported on the news that an explorer who broke the record for the deepest-ever dive found a plastic bag and sweet wrappers on the seabed; so even the furthest corners of our planet are already sullied. Coupled with this, is the inexorable data about our loss of species and natural habitat which can make the whole matter overwhelming and depressing to say the least.
Those of us who are green-minded want to take more responsibility in the way they lead their lives by minimising waste and looking to keep personal levels of pollution as low as possible. These can be wide ranging actions, from avoiding air travel to simply walking to the shops instead of taking the car, from making sure that everything is recycled to buying green energy. This way of thinking is translating into how some individuals want to invest their money. Put in a nutshell prospective investors sometimes simply state that they want to avoid environmental harm and make socially responsible choices.
