I love this comment from Patty H. She is serious about being a proud owner of whatever she is putting her money into. Believe me, if more of us feel that way, we will change the way business works. Read on and see more from me at the end.

Dear Phil,
I have been studying your web page and have become very aware of all the moral issues associated with investing. In Sunday's local paper I read a very interesting article stating that DuPont is now getting into the Biotech world with a green product called Sorona. The logo for the new plastic is "Clothing from a cornfield." They will use biotechnology to convert corn instead of oil into plastic.
As a nature lover I know I want to invest in a green company so this really peaked my interest. DuPont is not nearly green enough for me so in doing some investigating I found that Sorona resulted from a long term collaboration between DuPont and a company called Genencor International. I started to research Genencor and liked everything I read. They were ranked the number one medium size company to work for the year from HR Magazine, so I knew they were good to their employees. Things started to look up because they were a very green co. too, again something I really wanted. I then found out they were recently purchased by a company called Danisco and their stock would no longer be publicly traded. I was not crazy about Danisco...
