If you’re looking into making social responsible investments, I suggest you watch Howdini.com’s interview with “Green” Financial Guru David Bach, which I’ve included in this post.

A friend of mine is searching for information on green investing before visiting her financial advisor next week. I am not an expert on this, but David Bach is. He’s the author of Go Green, Live Rich and this is what he has to say:

1) A great place to start is Calvert Funds- the largest fund company that has been doing socially responsible investing in the U.S.

2) Look at some of the exchange trading mutual funds that have just come out (those are called sector-specific).

3) Go to ishares.com and look for a clean energy portfolio. Winslowgreen.com (this one sounds eco-tastic) has two green mutual funds out there.

If you’re looking for another way to go green, try ‘greening’ your wallet. Here’s how—and why—to invest in companies that are socially and environmentally responsible.

* Investing green (in socially- and environmentally-friendly companies) is the biggest trend of our lifetime.

* There’s a lot of money to be made in clean, green technology. A huge boom is expected in the next 20 years.

* The U.S. is 15 years behind the rest of the world in green technology. Billions are being made by investors abroad.

* Socially responsible funds have been available for years, but it’s been a small segment of the market.

* Ask your HR department to put a socially responsible investment fund in your 401K plan, like Calvert Funds (calvertgroup.com) or sector-specific funds (try ishares.com to find one).

* Investing in green technologies will help make the planet a better place, in addition to increasing your personal wealth.

* One small thing you can do to start ‘going green’ is next time you’re at the grocery store, replace one product with a green product.

David Bach suggests going green, little by little. I TOTALLY agree with him. I know that for some people out there, the idea of going green sounds difficult. Taking baby steps, like Bach suggests, is a great way to start.

Stop buying from and supporting companies that are destroying our planet by simply giving up their products. Make this pledge today! Now, go to the store and buy an eco-friendly product and feel really, really good about yourself, ’cause baby, YOU’VE JUST GONE GREEN.

Pretty easy, huh?

One step at a time, this world will unite…in green.

Green prosperity blessings to all!
