Green money

Take these simple steps to make your money really green:

1. Educate yourself about the socially responsible funds available and decide what social screens matter to you most. Do you have a traditional mutual fund you could transfer? Your investment choices help determine the trends of businesses worldwide. Make non-socially responsible companies green with envy.

2. Find out how your bank invests your money. If you don’t agree, bank with a financial institution that values the same principles you do.

3. Visit kiva.org and make a difference in the life of someone you’d never meet otherwise by investing in their future.
