Take Action Daily - Invest Wisely

Put your money where your mouth is. I felt very responsible when I opened up my first RESP account. Figured I was finally doing the right thing. But I started hearing things about where investment money goes....tobacco, alcohol, and yes.....OIL. AHHHHHH! Immediately I made and appointment with an Ethical Fund Specialist. As it turned out, I was indeed supporting and making money from big oil companies, I was no better than our government or the car companies. So I withdrew my account and am now happy to be making money with a clear conscience. I invest now with Vancity, so far the greenest of banks. But other banks have investments that have nothing to do with oil too. Sure it's a slightly less return (but not very much) but what good will money be if there is no where to spend it?
