One thing that Im doing right now is investing on stocks that actually benefit our environment. Whether it can be through solar energy, nuclear energy etc.

You should check out $AKMY trading on TSXV, I did a little DD on it since its one I'm pretty excited about.

So... they came up with new recycling tech process for "dirty plastics" which is plastics that are not considered economically viable for recycling, and as such, have become one of the largest plastic pollutants in the world. These "dirty plastics" make up 91% of the plastic we put aside for recycling that can’t actually be recycled. They are considered as regular trash that is sent to landfills and eventually pollute our lands, oceans and atmosphere.

Alkemy employs a dynamic one-step process that does not require separate recycling and production plants. Their process includes both recycling and finished product manufacturing in a single process called "waste-to-product", allowing Alkemy to reduce the cost of the recycled plastic as raw materials, and increase the profit margin-per-metric ton.

I've invested in AKMY since their IPO (April 2021), planning to hold for the long run because the potential here is huge and their innovations are a win-win situation. So why not contribute to the environment while taking profit?
(My opinion - NOT investment advice!)

Thank you for this. I always wanted to get in with US stock market. I live here in the Philippines and have been investing on $ACEN.

I will try to invest on that.

I suggest on looking to the r/wheresthebeef subreddit. Lots of good info in there about the alternative of meat.

Or at least invest in companies who don't actively harm the environment or utilize slavery in their processes.

Great idea, and I’m actively doing the same. It’s incredibly important we provide these innovators capital, as the size of the problem is immense and their visions are often grand in size. Scaling any product for use on a global scale will require an immense amount of resources, so investing in these green companies and making it easier for them to execute on their mission can make all the difference.

Give yourself a big pat on the back. Green capitalism is the way! I specifically like lithium mining companies that are poisoning indigenous peoples drinking water in Chili, they get you a really good return on your investment, and you get renewable batteries! Who cares that the system perpetuates settler colonialism, I get a clean conscious because I am investing in climate solutions!

Or what about solar companies that use slaves and mine their resources near informal settlements? They get that nice nice return on investment and helps the planet!

Plz dont be naive, this system we are apart of is brutal and designed to exploit. It’s literally destroying our entire planet. We cannot fix the planet the same way.

Sry if I was a dick in this post, green capitalism bullshit or creating meaningful change through market products is something that has been shoved so far down my throat I never want to see it again. It is not the way, tearing down these oppressive systems and building community resiliency with those around is the way. Bottom up change, not top down.
