As our consumption becomes increasingly disconnected from
the production of the things we buy, its important to
critically examine where products from coffee to furniture
come from. Today many companies that once were
"local" are multinational, global conglomerates that
produce and harvest materials all around the world to sell to
us. Find out more about the behavior and activities of
these companies and the impacts your decisions about what to
buy can have on our environment.

Being an environmentally sensitive company is often part of
an overall ethic that provides better than average
return. Additionally, many environmental concerns are
being successfully overcome by technological
advancements. Companies that generate energy from
renewable resources and those that turn your glass bottles
into insulation are examples of companies worth investing in
that also satisfy our social conscience. Is it time you let
your investments reflect your beliefs?
