On an Island with who?

I was recently interviewed for Blue & Green Tomorrow Magazine on my approach to ethical investing.

As well as a few facts about Putney, where the office is located, the interview also asked that old favourite about who I'd like to be stranded on a desert island with.

Rather than give a fascinating insight into my psychological make-up, as the interviewer hoped, I gave a practical and logical answer, hopefully in keeping with my approach to ethical investing.
(Or was that a fascinating insight into my psychological make-up?)

Blue and Green Tomorrow - issue 1

I’ve recently been involved, as a founding supporter, in the launch of a new free magazine titled ‘Blue & Green Tomorrow’

It is a magazine for those that want the planet to be as blue and green tomorrow as it was yesterday. (see end of this post for which famous author to thank for the name)

It is NOT just for tree huggers. It is for those that make positive choices where they can, when they can. Clean energy maybe, buying fair-trade goods, ethical investing (my area of expertise), recycling at home & the office and so on.




Nothing’s perfect though, and we all know we can usually do better.
Many companies are now operating with ‘people, profit & planet’ in mind. Sadly some aren’t, they just make the right noises. Blue & Green Tomorrow is not about ‘Greenwash’, where an organisation just pretends they are doing right – and it is not about sensational headlines. It will print good news but also report on bad.

It seeks to provide relevant, interesting, informative and enjoyable news and features.




There are a few sample pages from the first edition here. The front cover, the editorial, my specialist subject ‘ethical investing’ and just to ‘bee’ different (ahem), an article on what bees are doing and what might happen if they stop doing it!











If you’d like a copy, drop me an email at iangreen@iangreen.com with your postal address and I’ll rush one out to you.

Alternatively you could sign up for the e-newsletter at www.blueandgreentomorrow.com/register

I hope you enjoy it.
