David, you'll have to learn to be an unethical hypocrite to be successful in this: "Australian Ethical Investment Ltd was established in 1986 for the purpose of environmental and socially responsible investment". You will have to learn to chant mantras about CO2. You will have to be an extremist who pretends he doesn't understand that recycling kills. A 16 year old was crushed to death a few days ago here, as he leaned into the back of the little truck to get a shoe or something. nzherald.co.nz That's direct killing but then there are opportunity cost deaths due to money being spent on uneconomic recycling which could go to something useful such a life-saving vaccinations. You'll have to develop an unctuous, smarmy, self-satisfied air with do-gooder heart-on-sleeve caringness [while maintaining a hidden, cynical, eye for the main chance]. That's because those Greenie ethical people, who claim "there's more to life than money" and "people before money" and other mindless slogans, are very grasping and while they'll spend OPM [other peoples' money] wantonly, they will demand good returns on their ill-earned cash. You will have to be happy to invest in kerbside recycling and sleep easily that you will cause people to be dead. Provided there is lots of profit in it and the business is 'Green', you should invest! To hell with the facts and the deaths of 16 year olds. The Greenies will deny responsibility. They will say there should be many layers of bureaucracy, training, safety equipment and blah blah blah to "make sure this never happens again" [another nauseating cliche]. They will get government recycling jobs and a lot of money. There are plenty more 16 year olds to in the compactors. The Greenies won't examine their premises. They'll go for the OPM dollar. But I thought you were going to sequester carbon in Princeton? Mqurice
