It's no secret, that there are many things we can do individually to contribute to the mitigation of Global Warming. We can find these common tips everywhere. Recycle. Use a carpool. Offset carbon emissions. Hang your clothes out to dry. Use energy efficient lights and appliances. Use hybrid fuel cars. Shop locally...and other environmental consumer practices. These area all good ideas and should be considered in your personal fight to ward off GHGs.

There is a more powerful way we can make a difference. It's not new but it's a growing trend in environmentally conscious investors. It's called ethical investing. This means, consciously considering where our investment dollars go, and contribute to investments that specialize in environmentally responsible companies. According to the article below, the performance of these funds typically perform higher than traditional funds managed under the same firm.

In a recent article in thisismoney.co.uk (Invest... and save the planet) Co-operative Bank's Spokesman Craig Shannon is quoted:
'If, as many scientists are saying, we have ten years to make a dent in climate change or face the appalling consequences, we need ethical consumerism to become the norm.'

There is a side benefit to investing in green funds that is not readily apparent. It implies an opportunity risk for companies not participating in environmentally responsible ways for your investment dollars, and may then begin to earn your investment dollars by switching to greener sources, means and products.

You can Google green investments for a good staring point for information on green investing.
