Socially Responsible Investing

Over the years, I have tried to move my investments into socially responsible options, where practical and feasible.  SRI mutual and bond funds screen for environmental and  ethical considerations, either refusing to invest in certain companies (or sectors) or actively trying to change company practices through shareholder resolutions.

Minnesota

I've lived in 9 different states and Minnesota stands apart from all of them as being most aligned with me.  Different rankings of Minnesota and Minneapolis support its reputation as a leader in Health, Government, Liveability, Charity, Low Stress, Cleanest, Athletics, Literacy, Families, etc
