Two local events examine socially responsible
investments and environmental policy
How are our values reflected
— or not reflected — in current
local, national, and global envi-
ronmental policies?
How can citizens make per-
sonal investments based on
values?
These are questions that two
events, unrelated but with sim-
ilar missions, will attempt to
answer this week.
‘Socially Responsible
Investing’
A “Socially Responsible In-
vesting (SRI) Educational
Forum” is planned March 11 at
Riverside Community Church
on March 11 at 7 p.m.
SRI was formerly known as
Ethical Investing or Faith and
Values Based Investing and
originated from people of faith
because of a desire to seek jus-
tice (including in their financial
decisions) for all who are more
vulnerable.
The event will cover:
■ The history of socially re-
sponsible investing and the
divestment movement
■ The methods and metrics
to determine environmental,
social, and governance factors
■ UN Sustainable Develop-
ment Goals
■ Shareholder advocacy,
which has pushed corpora-
tions to responsible and ethical
change
■ Greenwashing, deceptive
marketing strategies
■ Comprehensive SRI finan-
cial planning: EVs, solar, ad
banking
Presenters are:
■ Erin Gray, advisor, Insti-
tutional and Client Relations
Manager of Green Century
Funds, which has the first fam-
ily of fossil fuel-free, diversified
mutual funds in the U.S. and
has been a leader in sharehold-
er advocacy.
■ David and Michelina
Roth, co-owners of Gorge Sus-
tainable Investing, a locally
based independent financial
planning firm, providing cus-
tomized sustainable financial
planning for the good of all
people, communities and our
Earth.
■ Craig Churman, vice
president Product Develop-
ment of Saturna Capital which
has been dedicated to val-
ues-based investing for more
than 30 years.

‘Conversation’ on policy
“How Do Our Values Influ-
ence Environmental Policy?” is
a free conversation with Monica
Mueller on March 12 at 6:30 p.m.
at the Hood River Library, and
part of the Oregon Humanities’
ongoing Conversation Project.
Mueller notes, “Most of us
would agree that natural re-
sources and our surrounding
environment have value, but
what that value is — and how
to protect it — are usually up
for debate. Given competing
interests and visions of the pub-
lic good, how do we protect
our common resources such as
land, water, and air?” This is the
focus of the program hosted by
Columbia Gorge Tourism Alli-
ance and sponsored by Oregon
