^{Discussion about pro / cons on investing green. Dr. Tom Borelli discusses how green activists push companies too far to the left, causing harm to the company and eventually the environment}

There was a time when investing with an eye towards the environment could spell disaster, thankfully things have changed. Investors now have a choice to put their money into stocks, mutual funds and other tools that help sustain our environment without hurting their money. Investing in socially responsible or even ecological friendly companies has never been easier, especially with mutual funds designed specifically for green investing. Also, there are plenty of publicly traded companies that are considered socially responsible for either their technology (alternative power) or business practices (fair-trade food items). Owners of brokerage or retirement accounts may find that their investment company already offers strategies to include green investing into your portfolio. Of course, all investors should thoroughly research any stock or mutual fund, green or not, before deciding to invest.
