Investing ethically doesn't mean you won't make a healthy profit too,

Shocking predictions of rising sea levels and distressing reports of
human exploitation for the sake of profit are finally starting to
change the way we live, play and invest.
Research carried out by the Investment Management Association shows

In theory, ethical investment is a great way to further both your
financial future and the health of the planet. The widely held

environment, by duping people like motorists into thinking they are
saving the planet and their reputations by using aggrofuels.

You seem to see conspiracies everywhere you look Doug, don't you think
you should seek some advice about your paranoia? There will always be
opportunists who can make a dollar on the back of bad news - look at
Livingstone, your not telling me that the congestion charge isn't just
another way of making money...
