We wanted to let you know about this cool article on Forbes.com, and this one on Triple Pundit, about Dancing Rabbit member Nathan Mackenzie Brown and the impact investing he does here.
Nathan has cared about integrating his values into his financial decisions since he was in college in the late 90s, but living at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is what’s given him the context and experience he needed to make headlines.
“Before moving to Dancing Rabbit I cared about using money to make a positive difference in the world, but my understanding of economic sustainability was fairly superficial. By living in our community I’ve gained a deep understanding of how economic sustainability is intertwined with cultural beliefs about money and issues of class and privilege.
“I now know that making a difference with money is more complicated than simply investing in socially responsible mutual funds. It requires strategically using money in ways that contribute to a complete restructuring of our financial institutions and cultural values, so that social justice and sustainability are at the core of all financial decisions. This knowledge hasn’t just helped me be more effective with my own investing, it’s made what I do worthy of broader attention.”
