BANG FOR THE BITE
We would give this 6 apples out of 5 if we could. SRI is one of the most powerful levers for effecting positive change at the macro-level.
COCKTAIL FACT
Over half of the 250 biggest companies in the world now produce environmental, social or sustainability reports in addition to financial ones.

You're hip to a light green lifestyle, but are your investments?
The Bite
Actions speak louder than words, but money speaks a helluva lot louder. Make a difference as you make money by investing your IRA and savings in socially responsible funds.
The Benefits
- SRI is hot. In the US alone, $2.3 trillion (1 in every 7dollars invested) are in socially responsible funds. During the past decade, SRI has grown 10% faster than traditional investment.
- Many choices. Take your pick from community investment, social ventures, or SRI mutual funds.
- Invest in a greener future. Give a slap on the back to socially and environmentally proactive companies that are finding solutions for tomorrow’s problems today.
- Profit big time. Many SRI funds actually out perform their peers and the S&P 500.
Personally Speaking
We are both investing in a very socially responsible fund. It’s called Ideal Bite, you heard of it? (We wish we could accept your investments but the FTC would come after us).
