A random email hit me this morning:
“Historically, socially responsible investing (SRI) has been associated with a strategy of avoiding companies involved in “vices” such as guns, gambling, alcohol and tobacco. A more modern view also focuses on ethics (perhaps avoiding firms that negatively affect the global economy) and sustainability (protecting the environment and managing the planet’s limited natural resources). As a result, today’s more expanded view includes investment opportunities in areas such as water treatment, energy conservation, agricultural production and pollution management.”
There is no way to remove every ‘bogey man’ from what you might invest in or not. If you think like this excerpt go see a shrink. You should be working on more pressing issues first.
