Al Gore Sustains CUNY Eco Conference

December 10th, 2008 by Mike Reicher

Former vice president Al Gore implored us to invest sustainably when he spoke recently at the CUNY Graduate Center. Organizations and individuals should buy stock in companies that have viable long-term strategies (both financially and for our planet), Gore said during a November conference on sustainable investing. He gave examples of companies that build clean energy infrastructure, hybrid vehicles, specialize in ecosystem remediation, etc. In his trademark cowboy boots, he also plugged his sustainable investment management company Generation.
