Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Seems as if the writers over at the Chronicle of Philanthropy have been listing to the private conversations of Queenie's Daughter in which she has been losing friends and pissing people off by telling them that they are not liberals as long as their stock portfolios are filled with dirty industries. And by dirty we mean industrially, ethically, etc.
Think about it: you can bitch and moan and march and mock as much as you want, but if your funds are all tied up in the very companies that work against the practices you preach YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. And you can change that:)
Come on over from the dark side. You don't have to lose money - you can use your money to make a better world!!!

As part of its campaign to fight global warming, the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies has for the past two years been trying to persuade several large commercial and residential real-estate companies to do a better job of making their properties energy efficient.
The coalition has achieved mixed results, persuading some companies to adopt more efficient designs and use energy-saving materials, while others have resisted its efforts.
Among the tactics the coalition pursues: encouraging shareholders to put pressure on the companies to change their ways. //more//
