1000 Flowers for the Planet - #541 Make Green Investments
A lot of
people have probably never thought about their investments making an impact on
the planet, but they most certainly are. You put your superannuation with a
company that invests it on your behalf without any knowledge of which companies
are being supported through those investments. For all you know, you could be
supporting corporations who take water from villages around the world without
compensating the local people, or who buy raw materials from people who use
slave or child labour, or a corporation intent on owning the world’s food
supply. If we are going to put our efforts into making things better for the
planet, we also need to ensure our investments support sustainable practices
and human rights. You’ll need to do some research for this, but having
knowledge gives you power, so go check out your investments today.
