Background on this Blog

I decided to write this blog after a recent visit to the place where I grew up: Northern California.

During a solitary walk I took through an overwhelmingly inspiring and majestic grove of mist-enshrouded giant coast redwoods, I was struck with the idea that investing in things that didn't ruin forests, damage the planet, or defile human beings would be a great idea...

At first, I thought it sounded farfetched: a socially responsible portfolio that outperforms the markets by a clear margin.
However, now I think it can be done. And with this blog - and the detailed recommendations and tracking I plan to undertake - I intend to see if I can do it.

NOTE: All material contained on this blog is presented as journalism and opinion, not advice... It's an experiement to see if our imaginary portfolios can outperform. James

My Big List of Green Stocks

If you're looking for a huge, general list of green, sustainable and socially responsible companies that have publicly listed stocks, you've found it baby. My goal is to keep building this list over time and to eventually have the biggest, longest list of green stocks on the Internet! (Keep in mind, this is a random list and if you like any of the companies here, be sure to do your due diligence before investing.)*Note: My criteria for adding a stock to this list include their being part of a green/SRI index or mutual fund... or if I personally determine that they have value as green/SRI companies...
