I would rather not just own shares in a company or mutual fund because these options don’t appear to actually promote environmentally friendly companies. Is there some way to invest in venture capital firms that in turn invest in environmentally friendly companies?
I can’t believe how many people don’t actually read what my questions is. I’m getting a lot of responses about buying stocks in “green” companies (or alternatively mutual funds). I see how this might impact demand and thus raise the price of the stock, but beyond making more money for me i’m not sure how that helps the company itself (unless they decide to sell more stock at the inflated price, I guess?). First, answer my original question. Second, if not capable of doing that then at least have the courtesy to explain why stocks are the way to go. Yahoo Answers is nice in theory but you get a lot of people responding who don’t know s**t. They should change it to Yahoo Guesses.
