Peace Signs for Peace

I was reading an article the other day about a woman who has a multi-million dollar business doing faux painting. She was told by many that she could not make a living doing what she loved, and she said, "then I will work for meaning."

Well, I am here to tell you that working for meaning is the only way to go! Life justs keeps getting better and better! Just the other day, I got a call from one of my favorite folk artists who has agreed to make Peace Signs exclusively for Happy Monkey... the perfect way to add a little peace to your life!

Today I learned that Investors Against Genocide will appear before Congress on September 10th. Their goal is to promote socially responsible investing.

Years after the genocide in Darfur was publicly acknowledged, millions of people are unknowingly and inadvertently investing in the companies that are funding this genocide. Investors entrust their family savings and pension funds to mutual fund and other investment firms, which in turn invest those savings in companies which help to fund genocide.

A broad base of major financial institutions invest in a small set of problem companies, particularly PetroChina. When confronted with this problem, these investment firms ignore the moral issue of investing in genocide.

The Investors Against Genocide have made great strides over the past several years, and today they are asking for your help... call your US Representative and let them know your views on the subject. Read more about Investors Against Genocide.
