This part of the Resource Guide has links to all causes green, with an eye towards keeping your green where it belongs, in your wallet and bank accounts.
According to Steve Schueth, President of First Affirmative Action Network and a source for our article on Socially Responsible Investing, women are the cultural creatives behind the surge to Go Green. With all respect to Al Gore, his Nobel and his Oscar, women are the force driving society to be more aware about the environment and more conscientious in their consumerism. We're leading society toward a Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability - from everyday purchases from the Gap and product(red) and buying organic food from Whole Foods to our investments.
“We’ve found,” says Schueth, “The larger social investment industry figures place 60% of the households involved as women, or families were women make decisions.”
Wayne Miles, a source for the first installment of The Thrifty Gal's Guide to Going Green, agrees. He's noted that the majority of his customers are women. Women make most of the domestic purchasing decisions in the United States, and a growing number of us are making these decisions with a greater concern for the environment and society as a whole.
