Steve Schwarzman is the CEO of the Blackstone Group, which partially owns a Brazilian firm that is helping transform the Amazon from jungle to farmland.
Hey, if you have an investment portfolio and you want to do something about the Amazon Forest Fires, here’s a really simple and easy thing you can do I learned about during an anti-gun protest:
Go through your investment portfolio, find out if you have any stocks or shares in Blackstone and get rid of them. Sell them.
I’m not saying or suggesting that you bought them knowingly. Banks often do not inform their clients about the contents of an investment portfolio--they select the companies in the package and they only inform the buyer if it’s a risky package or not. That’s why you have to check for yourself and get rid of stocks from companies like this one. You don’t know what you’ve bought until you look inside and find out.
By the way, if you look up the names of companies that sell guns or support the NRA and check your portfolio, you can hit them as well. Those kinds of companies will also be tucked away in a portfolio.
They’re anticipating growth.
Take it from them.
Also, ask a trusted financial advisor about clean energy companies to invest in going forward.
Capitalism is awful, but sometimes you can use its elements to fight back against this kind of bullshit.
