Dear Friend,
Green America is pleased to share the following from Green Century Capital Management, a member of Green America’s Green Business Network, which offers one of the first families of fossil fuel free mutual funds. Green Century has more than 30 years of experience in environmentally responsible investing and helps people align their values and make an impact while saving for the future. I invite you to learn more about Green Century and their mutual funds below.
In your households, you make a concerted effort to live in green and sustainable ways. You intentionally recycle, use refillable containers, and bring your reusable bags. You bicycle places. You select organic foods and purchase goods to help protect your health and our planet.
These choices are critically important, but we all know that to protect the planet for future generations we need to do more.
Let’s talk about fossil fuels. Did you know that you may unwittingly be supporting some of the major companies mostly to blame for climate change – the oil and gas companies – in your retirement and other investment choices?
Many investors are choosing to divest from fossil fuels and so can you.
Receive our free guide to fossil fuel free investing.
For more than three decades, Green Century ° has helped people save for their future without compromising their values by:
Avoiding environmentally harmful corporations while investing in green bonds
Urging companies to reduce plastic pollution, promote clean energy and protect forests with our award-winning shareholder advocacy program.
Supporting the environmental and public health non-profit organizations that founded us in 1991 and helping further their work on these important issues.

A sustainable investment strategy which incorporates environmental, social and governance criteria may result in lower or higher returns than an investment strategy that does not include such criteria.
