We live in such interesting times. It is no secret that the financial wave of fast money, is unsustainable over the long haul. With financial "bubbles" bursting all around us, it's becoming more and more clear that we need seriously sustainable investment strategies.
I read a really great, eye opening, article in the June issue of The Sun Magazine. It is titled “The Prophet of Modest Profit - Woody Tasch on How Not to Get Rich Quick.” Woody Tasch, a pioneer in the field of sustainable investing, suggests that the merging of investment and philanthropy into one cohesive entity, is the only sensible way forward.
In the interview he explains how with "fast money" it's easy to lose control of where our money is going and what it's actually doing. And that if our money and our philanthropy are working at cross purposes, we don't gain any ground. For instance, our philanthropy and lifestyle choices might lead us to support sustainable local, small scale agriculture, while our working assets support large scale industrial farming systems. The good deed or investment does not nearly expunge the negative effects of the unsustainable investment.
Embedded in the principles of Woody Tasch's Slow Money Alliance, is the desire to: "enhance food security, food safety and food access; improve nutrition and health; promote cultural, ecological and economic diversity; and accelerate the transition from an economy based on extraction and consumption to an economy based on preservation and restoration."
Slow Money's mission is to invest in small food enterprises and local food systems; connect investors to their local economies; and build on the nurture capital industry.
People reminisce a lot about the "good old days", it seems like we have the opportunity to make these the truly "good old days". A time when we invest our hard earned money with pride, where people within a community are invested in each other. Where we can see our money grow side by side with the goodwill, health and prosperity of our neighbors.

Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres. where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
