Why: How can we redirect millions of investment dollars towards building a green economy? Massive investments are required to address the issues of global warming and peak oil, which presents enormous opportunities for both investors and socially-conscious individuals.Increasing your understanding of the socially responsible financial markets is the first step toward making informed, responsible and effective investments that stimulate positive change. With that knowledge both large and small investors can proactively select investments that build a green economy while meeting and often far surpassing financial goals.
