"Investing doesn't necessarily mean gritting your teeth, buying shares of large companies and telling yourself that the ends (financial security in retirement) justify the means (giving money to companies with practices that may run counter to your values). The alternative is socially responsible investing (SRI), where you or the person who manages your money focus on companies that operate according to values akin to yours....For example, you might purchase stock in renewable energy companies instead of oil firms, invest in a business that's committed to employing a domestic workforce rather than outsourcing to offshore labor, or simply avoid companies that produce alcohol and tobacco products." (MOTHER EARTH NEWS) The article discusses the importance of investing and focuses on SRIs.
