``Is your money being invested in companies building nuclear
weapons? Corporations destroying the environment, or who
"union-bust" or discriminate? What you have in a "regular bank"
quite likely is invested in assets promoting things we are
strongly opposed to. Below are several places to put your money
which *won't* let your money work against your values, plus you'll
earn nice interest. Also, some ways you can actually financially
support the causes you believe in without spending a cent!
