Make money, save world
As an email from Smile reminds me, it's the start of the new tax year. In other words, a very good time to get serious and put lots of cash in one of its ethically-certified stocks 'n' shares ISAs. The ethical part of the equation is that it'll only invest your pennies into caring companies that don't have anything to do with the dirty business of dodgy regimes, arms and messing up the environment. Also worth a look for ethical interest-making accounts: Co-Operative Bank (PROUD SPONSORS OF THE BILL, no less), Triodos and the GAEIA Partnership. The Guardian also has an interesting (and recent) piece on ethical investments over here.
