Money Talks (For Good)
There is no denying that we are a consumer society. But is it possible to harness consumption as a vehicle for positive social change? A growing group of investors believe that Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) can pave the way for social change by funding environmentally and socially responsible companies. By making the shareholder's voice an activist voice, screening for progressing-thinking companies and investing in communities, money can provide capital and momentum for a healthier world.

We are assured that we are richer than ever before and getting richer by the day. Yet we are also told there is no longer enough money to provide an adequate education for our children, health care and safety nets for the poor, protection for the environment, parks, a living wage for working people, public funding for the arts and public radio or adequate pensions for the elderly. According to the official wisdom, even though richer, we can no longer afford what we once took for granted. How is this possible?
Simplify for a Richer, Eco-Friendly Life
In our complicated, stressed-out modern life of speed, consumer pressure, money worries and jam-packed schedules, the concept of living simply has crossed everyone's mind. The truth is, it's an appealing, attainable idea, and could make a real difference in your life.
