I need to invest some money. I don’t want to invest in corporations that pollute or treat the land and the people badly. Are there any eco-investors or socially minded investors out there that can give me some companies or mutual funds to invest in?

I’m not sure there is a factual answer, just other people’s opinions.

So I’m going to invest some of my time moving this over to IMHO.

I believe Peter Camejo has a socially-conscious investment firms. One with a pretty good track-record, IIRC.
