Host ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I definitely see that as the key issue -- are you using your investments to maximize returns, or to promote the values you're promoting through your philanthropy? I think the argument could be made either way.
Haven't a number of socially responsible companies run into the same conflict? Ben & Jerry's and The Body Shop come to mind.
I wasn't able to bring my TV to the electronics recycling thing, but I was able to cart my stereo and a bunch of smaller things.
Yay for getting rid of stuff!

Yeah, that sounds right. The real problem is that every industry fucks with people and/or the earth when you go back far enough. I mean, right?
Yay for getting rid of stuff!
And yay for recycling!

You get egg delivery?!
Yes, every Sunday. And it is made of awesome.
On the downside, I drive an hour across the Chesapeake Bay just to get decent groceries.
So, you're living in the olden days??
I'm watching this ridiculous Identity show on Bravo, and I can't believe Jordan Knight was up there with the one contestant (plus four family members) who wouldn't recognize him.

I'm not familiar with them, but it looks like their money is actually invested by Wellington Mgmt, based on the parameters that Domini sets. That's seems solid, since Wellington is basically Vanguard (full disclosure: the mutual fund company that my consulting company chose for its 401k).
