I watch your videos when I feel down about not being understood by my family on sustainability. They just don’t get it and watching your videos makes me feel like I’m not fighting this alone

Very hard to find funds that Don't include unethical companies.... without buying individual stocks. VEGN is a good one to start. And many others are food related. A lot of ESG funds are BS! Coke, PepsiCo, ExxonMobil should not be in any of the ESG funds. Make sure to look at the holdings before investing! I hope someone makes a video of sustainable+ethical funds to invest in.

the 'spicy business' bit made me chuckle. funny way to put it hehe

Very interesting! Will you also talk about sustainable ETFs? For beginners (like me), I think investing in ETFs makes a lot of sense so I would be very keen on learning what sustainable options there are

So great having the freedom to invest it in companies and industries that match your values! With the US's money being green, I can *turn my green-dollars into green investments* Love it! 😊

I think investing in some renewable energy is a bit green washed since some of them still impact on the wild life one way or another.

nobody can KNOW where the stock is going in the short term, whoever tells you that is trying to scam you or they are committing a felony!

Thank you Gittemary for making this video! I remember requesting this a while ago so I’m so happy you actually took the time and effort to make a video on sustainable investments! I definitely think it’s a topic not discussed often enough in the zero waste community.
From what you’re describing, you’re investing in ETF/index funds rather than individual companies right?

If it’s not too personal of a question: Do you invest monthly? How do you decide how much of your income to invest, is it a fixed amount or a fixed percentage (as I assume your income isn’t the same each month)?

Does Denmark have any tax benefits for investing in (certain) green companies/stocks?

Once again, thank you for making this video and the video on sustainable banking!

What’s your view on investing in S&P 500? It was my first stock investment but I’ve recently withdrawn due to fossil fuel companies etc. and overall lack of sustainable businesses

Hello Gittemary! I enjoyed the video very much! You explained the topic in a very nice way, and I definitely learned a lot, and it gave me motivation to research more about the topic of investing sustainably!
I wanted to ask if there are sustainable index funds that you know of and could recommend?
Thank you for your videos and knowledge!
