Greetings,
It is difficult to decide where to invest today and not feel that your
money is supporting your enemies.
If you invest in yourself first, you can be a good example of how to live
gently on Mother Earth. Make sure you are living sustainably and eating
healthy, local, naturally grown food. Learn to use the tools that allow
you to process the food yourself.
The banks and lending institutes no longer want the small loans, many won't
talk to anyone wanting less than $20,000. For small sole proprietors, this
can be a real hardship. Investing $5,000 or $10,000 in a well run, local,
small business can be a real good investment that you can feel great
about. This takes more work but I am finding it a worthwhile place to put
my money to work.
Bright Blessings,
Kim

Don't do this! While the comment below may be technically correct,
there aren't 'enough' of us to do this and buying shares only
encourages Monsanto to keep it up. IMHO our energies and monies are
better spent trying to expose the lies, hidden agendas, and
environmentally unsound practices these guys are about, and making sure
as many people as possible become aware of the things that might make
them wake up and begin to make informed choices themselves. Monsanto
and all thier shareholders can do nothing but change to survive if they
eventually cannot find thier markets for what they currently sell.

Mike, you can start by buying Monsanto stock. With enough
stockholders submitting proxy proposals (and enough stockholders
accepting them), that may obligate the board to put them in practice.

I'm talking about getting just enough shares to be able to vote on the
proxies.
How about these?
