<prompt> Human: Hey PF,I am getting a windfall soon. Ive read through all the side bars and a lot of peoples posts on the subject. Obviously Ill pay off my debts and shore up my emergency fund.I dont feel very comfortable investing in a lot of major companies. Obviously my investment wont make much of an impact. What are some ways to invest ethically keeping the environment and social equality in mind?edit: The question I didnt ask, but meant to, was how much of an impact do investors really have? I found a lot of articles about how to invest or how funds screen their holdings, but nothing useful on if it actually makes a difference.  <response>: There are actually funds designed specifically for individuals like you in mind who want to invest around ethical values. There are also agencies that rate companies based on socially conscious criteria. Look up Ethical Value Investing.Also, your investment does make a difference, it just depends on what outcome measures you are looking at.
