It occured to me today that we at TTMYGG haven’t done much posting or thinking about green investing. There are lots of companies going green, and many more which are working on various green technologies. Investing in these companies (as we have listed in the Influence section of our Personal Global Warming Action Plan / Checklist) is a great way to leverage your enthusiasm, and make a larger impact than you could make with most individual actions. And hey, if you can make some money at it at the same time, more power to you! It’s why legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalists like John Doerr and Vinod Khosla are spending their time in the space.
So look for more posts on the topic in the days ahead, as we get our heads around what it means to be a green investor, and what you need to know to not lose your shirt! But in the meantime, if you’re new to the space like us, take a look at these resources, which look quite good:

I’m glad to have come across your blog and this post. Until the problem of man-made induced climate change is solved, investing in green technologies and funds will continue unabated. However, discerning what will be successful among them is another matter!
For your information, I’ve been following ethical and green investing for around forty years and have a website which covers all the latest global green and ethical investing news at http://investingforthesoul.com/
