There is hope!

Don’t Bank on the Bomb
This is a really great site which describes itself as “the only regularly published source of information on the private companies involved in the production of nuclear weapons and their financiers.” Amazing! there’s a load of useful information, including the top10 investors in nuclear industry.
And i found this page interesting:
Don’t Bank on the bomb identifies the following companies as producers of key components for the UK nuclear weapons arsenal:
- Aerojet Rocketdyne (United States)
- BAE Systems (United Kingdom)
- Boeing (United States)
- General Dynamics (United States)
- Honeywell International (United States)
- Jacobs Engineering (United States)
- Lockheed Martin (United States)
- Moog (United States)
- Northrop Grumman (United States) (which has acquired Orbital ATK)
- Serco (United Kingdom)
Hello reader. Looking for an ethical fund to invest in?
Looking for an ethical fund to invest in? Me too!
It’s crazy how hard it is to find truly ethical funds. Now of course your definition of “ethical” may differ from mine, but that’s OK.
I think it’s great that you are even thinking in this direction since I refuse to believe ethical finance is a total contradiction in terms.
I’m no expert by the way. I’m just someone lucky enough to have some cash who cares about what the money ends up funding. With this blog I aim to share my hours of research and give some tips gathered from my twenty years of trying to invest ethically.
I am UK based and therefore this blog will reflect that. Although some stuff is probably universal.
So what is the problem with finding ethical investment? This article lays it out well.
Looking for places to invest? This article from Ethical Consumer has some excellent suggestions.
[I will try to gather these links and others all on one page]
The first step is caring, the second step is doing something about it. Ethical investment’s time to go mainstream has finally come in my opinion.
For a fairer world!
