OK maybe not.
I was asked by an acquaintance about ethical investing (in my other career I was in finance) I give him options. Another acquaintance overheard the conversation and complained about the return - it was less than the traditional investing he was advocating.
I had to ask him if he thought the extra 6% return of the traditional fund was worth the human misery caused.
If course like most he was not pleased with what our world has become but did not think he had options, after all he had college for two kids to plan for.
I replied - maybe that's the problem, we do not fully appreciate the power of our small actions and their ability to change the world.
Can you imagine what we can do if we all - together, take similar small steps of change
