GREEN MUNICIPAL BONDS

Hello All!

Apologies for the lack of update - this semester has been rough in terms of work. I’m going to try and update more often, but not always with completely original content - that’s nigh impossible with my classes/wrestling/band. Rather, from time to time, I will upload articles and documents that I like and think you should read. Generally, I’ll try to provide a good summary and/or critique that expands upon the content, rather than regurgitating what I read.

This week’s article is especially important because, simply put, green is the future. Green initiatives and environmentally-friendly engineering are no longer the pipe-dreams of hippie tree-huggers - they are now cost effective and government subsidized. It has simply makes no sense to stick to the old energy paradigm. The skyrocketing cost of fossil fuels in 2008 alone contributed to $4.50+ gasoline, $2.75 heating oil and 20%+ increases in electricity bills. Granted, there are a variety of other factors that contribute to this kind of price fluctuation, but the source of the problem still lies in a reliance on inefficient energy resources. Sustainable is the new magic word, and for good reason.

So, what’s a great way to invest in a cleaner, safer, efficient, independent America? As Ramsay Mameesh puts it,

Green Municipal Bonds offer the opportunity to rescue the economy and the environment.  Local governments are needlessly watching their economies disintegrate, waiting and begging for handouts from Washington D.C., while all along the power to save their economies and help the environment lies in their hands - Green Municipal Bonds.

Enjoy!
