Thinking About Green Investments
It used to be that focusing on
Green Investments meant getting subpar returns. I think that time has passed. Nowadays, Green stocks are hot, and I think that a world-wide boom in sustainable enterprise is just beginning.
In particular, Sustainable Investing has had some fascinating developments lately. It’s a mixed bag, of course - there is not such thing as a perfectly environmentally sound business. But the market is finally beginning to flex its power.
It’s easy to blame big business for the evils of the world, but In the end, we are all responsible. All that would be required for corporations to end their environmental and social abuses is for the market to demand it. That means us. It means you.
I’ll keep you posted.
