Thursday, April 11, 6:30-8 p.m., Emmanuel Episcopal Parish

— from Katie Fleming for Friends of the San Juans —

Friends of the San Juans is excited to partner with Orcas Island resident Toby Cooper to bring information to the community about green investing — a movement that benefits humanity and the planet.

Cooper, a sustainability advocate and career financial professional will trace rise of socially-responsible investing from an obscure religious practice to the influential $14 trillion entity it has become.  He will show that “aligning your money with your values” can lead both to personal satisfaction and a demonstrable measure of social and environmental change, and will evaluate the potential impacts on investment returns. 

All are welcome for a stimulating dialogue on a topic fundamental to our times.
