Over US$5 trillion of Sustainable Investing funds available to …
innovations report (Pressemitteilung), Germany
2008 Investors have allocated over US$5trillion to Sustainable Investing strategies that could kick-start an economic recovery strategy. Anzeige Ads_BA_INRE_Ad(“CAD”); In their new book Sustainable Investing, Cary Krosinsky and Nick Robins highlight that Sustainable Investing funds already amount to more than US$5trillion, and calculate that up to a quarter of public equities, as well as corporate and government bonds, (estimated to be worth US$120 trillion in 2006) incorporate parts of the sustainability agenda. This money, focused on the long-term opportunities arising from environmental and social imperatives, could help finance a resurgent and more resilient global economy.
How investing in transit could save Obama’s butt
Grist Magazine, WA
Increased Democratic majorities in the House and Senate will likely clear the way for infrastructure investment with a pronounced lean toward green, equitable transit. And President-elect Obama seems inclined to lead the Congress in that direction. (If nothing else, the replacement of a distinctly anti-transit administration will lead to a much-needed shakeup of the federal transportation bureaucracy, especially the Federal Transit Administration. )
Recent dip aside, oil prices’ steady rise over the last decade — combined with increasing congestion — seems to have finally brought the American electorate to its senses. But can Washington’s new leadership deliver?
Obama takes the reins during an exceedingly difficult time.
Big investment funds balance going green with the bottom line
International Herald Tribune, France
But now investing with the idea of improving the environmental actions of corporations, not just maximizing profit, is catching on among big pension funds and foundations, particularly in Europe and even in a few outposts in the United States. This is particularly challenging in the rocky global markets today. The pioneers in this field, however, are not backing down. They hope to make a big difference by leading the way in redirecting investment toward companies that do the least environmental damage and those that try to limit their output of carbon emissions thought to contribute to global warming.

Letter: Sam Park already investing in our community
Gloucester Daily Times, USA
I had nothing to do with all the organizing and fund raising that led up to this event, but from a distance it was an impressive effort. I know that many organizations and individuals came together to make it happen. I also know that Kristin Michael and her colleagues put on one of the most memorable fundraising events in recent history. They somehow arranged for “Captain Sig” — of “Deadliest Catch” fame — to visit the Gloucester House as part of the Plum Cove fund-raising effort.
