Tell Mutual Funds to Take a Stand Against Global Warming



Global warming is one of the most serious challenges human kind has ever faced.

Some forward-thinking corporations have taken steps to address the serious threats to our health, economy, and environment, but many more continue to bury their heads in the sand.

Groups of concerned investors have successfully persuaded a handful of corporations to reduce their heat-trapping emissions. Unfortunately, major mutual fund companies have not joined these concerned investors in pressing companies in their portfolios to address global warming.

Click here to urge major mutual fund companies Vanguard, Fidelity and American Funds to take a stand against global warming today!

These mutual funds are out of touch with their investors. Seventy percent of mutual fund holders want their funds to support climate change resolutions, yet none of the top 100 mutual funds have voted in favor of climate change resolutions.

By failing to vote for climate resolutions, mutual funds are neglecting their responsibility to protect investors from companies that expose themselves to financial losses, lawsuits, and insurance problems by ignoring global warming.

Vanguard, Fidelity and American Fund are the three largest U.S. mutual fund families and they control seventy percent of the country's mutual fund investments. That's why it's so important that these mutual funds take join the majority of their investors in pressuring companies to clean up their act!
