Fossil Fuel Free Investing at Trillium
Fossil Fuel-Free Investing at Trillium
The frequency and severity of extreme weather systems continues to impact the lives of people around the globe and increasingly in our own communities. Following Hurricane Sandy, many investors are becoming acutely aware of the presence of fossil fuel companies in their own portfolios. It seems clear that climate change is no longer solely a threat to future generations. The damage to the environment, economy, homes, and lives is happening today.
The Trillium-managed Green Century Balanced Fund (Ticker: GCBLX) has been fossil fuel-free since 2005. In 2008, Trillium launched its Sustainable Opportunities strategy, which has been fossil-fuel free since inception.

Lose your job to technology? Share your story
According to an Associated Press series published last week, the United States lost 7.5 million jobs during the recession, but in the three and a half years since it ended, the country has recovered just 47 percent of those jobs.
What?s worse: Half the jobs lost from December 2007 to June 2009 were middle-class employment, and of the 47 percent of work reclaimed, just 2 percent of those gigs pay middle-class wages, says the AP.
Among the causes, the often-fingered culprit is technology.
Even in a healthy economy, computers have increasingly assumed once-human-held work. In a wrecked economy, they?re capitalizing on it: Employers who weathered tough times over 18 months of the Great Recession learned to do more (or at least as much) with fewer humans and more automation. Now that the recovery is underway, they?re not looking back.
To put a human face to technology-caused unemployment, Yahoo! News is inviting readers who have recently lost a job (whether it?s to computer software, a factory robot or something similar) to share their stories. If technological innovation in the workplace has replaced your position, we?re interested in publishing your first-person account and possibly using it in a project.
There are two ways you can participate. Please choose one and submit your story by Friday, Feb. 1, at 11 a.m. ET.
1) Write your story at Yahoo! Contributor Network.
Stories that meet our criteria may be published on Yahoo! News under your byline. Learn more about what we?re looking for.
Or:
2) Email your story to contributor-news@yahoo-inc.com.
In 300 to 400 words, share your first-person story of losing your job to advancements in technology and workplace innovation. Please be very detailed and include: Where you worked (company and city), for how long, what you did (be brief but detailed) and when you lost your job. What technological advancement caused you to lose your job? Please be specific. Was it new computer software? A robot? Machines? How did your company use it? Did other people lose their jobs, too? What, specifically, did the new technology do that replaced your duties?
While sharing that information, please also touch on these questions: Are you employed now? If so, what are you doing? Are you making the same wage? How long did it take you to find a job? How do you feel about technological advancements in the workplace? Do you blame your former employer? Did losing your job prompt you to get different or increased training? If so, what, specifically? Also, please include your age and where you live.
Thank you for considering participating. We look forward to receiving your first-person account.

Tech, small business can learn plenty from Starbucks - Daily Freeman
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- You have just got to be on the conference call for some companies. If you don't catch it live, stream the Webcast or, at the very least, read the transcript, you're only seeing what the financial media puts in front of you. A formulaic series of numbers that, while meaningful, do not tell the entire story, particularly with respect to a company as dynamic as Starbucks (SBUX) .

Family left devastated after pet cat is killed by poison - This is ...
ANIMAL lover Tracey Heap has been left distraught after her two cats were poisoned with antifreeze within days of each other.
The 46-year-old was devastated when 16-month-old tabby Beauty had to be put to sleep after consuming a lethal dose of the liquid.
-

And her other cat Charlie is also being treated by vets after displaying the same symptoms.
Now Staffordshire Police are investigating whether both cats could have been deliberately targeted.

Tracey, from Smallthorne, said: "Poor Beauty just kept being sick.
"I thought it was just a bug, but then one day I came home and she was making this horrendous noise and she started fitting violently.
"She had lock jaw and it didn't stop, even when we got her to the vets."
Tracey rushed the cat to the PDSA, in Stoke, where staff took the decision to put Beauty down after finding she had dangerous levels of anti-freeze in her system.
Tracey, who lives in William Ruston Road with her six-year-old daughter Grace, added: "She had a vile death. No animal should ever have to go through what she did.
"Grace saw it all and she was so upset which makes it even more distressing.
"She hasn't stopped crying since it happened. We're all devastated." Shortly after Beauty was put to sleep earlier this month, six-month-old Charlie, who is Beauty's kitten, has also had to be treated by vets for permanent kidney damage after they found that he too had been exposed to the poison.
Tracey added: "He is okay at the moment.
"He hasn't had such extreme symptoms as Beauty had, but he could take a turn for the worse at any time. That's our fear.
"He is on prescription food now and I am petrified of letting him out in case it happens again.
"But cats need to be outdoors and it is unfair on him. I don't know how long I can keep it up.
"I know there's more anti-freeze about at the moment because of the cold weather but we think they have both been deliberately targeted.
"I just want other people to be aware that this is happening."
The RSPCA is now warning pet owners to be vigilant following the poisonings.
A spokesman for the animal charity said: "Most people are unaware of the hidden dangers to pets from antifreeze poisoning. Unfortunately, many animals find the taste of antifreeze very attractive, and ingesting even the smallest amount can lead to kidney failure and death, especially in cats.
"We are deeply concerned and extremely saddened by the recent spates of antifreeze poisonings in cats across the country.
"We would like to take this opportunity to remind the public that antifreeze poisoning can cause animals pain, suffering and distress, ultimately resulting in their death."
The spokesman added: "The poisoning of a cat can constitute a criminal offence.
"Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, the maximum penalty for anyone found guilty of this offence is up to six months imprisonment and/or a fine of around ?20,000."
Staffordshire Police confirmed officers were investigating the poisonings.
A spokesman said: "We are aware of the matter and are liaising with the RSPCA."

Hackers take over sentencing commission website

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The hacker-activist group Anonymous says it hijacked the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission to avenge the death of Aaron Swartz, an Internet activist who committed suicide. The FBI is investigating.
The website of the commission, an independent agency of the judicial branch, was taken over early Saturday and replaced with a message warning that when Swartz killed himself two weeks ago "a line was crossed."
The hackers say they've infiltrated several government computer systems and copied secret information that they now threaten to make public.
Family and friends of Swartz, who helped create Reddit and RSS, say he killed himself after he was hounded by federal prosecutors. Officials say he helped post millions of court documents for free online and that he illegally downloaded millions of academic articles from an online clearinghouse.
The FBI's Richard McFeely, executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, said in a statement that "we were aware as soon as it happened and are handling it as a criminal investigation. We are always concerned when someone illegally accesses another person's or government agency's network."

Armstrong meeting with USADA appears unlikely
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Lance Armstrong's lawyers say the cyclist will talk more about drug use in the sport, just likely not to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that led the effort to strip him of his Tour de France titles.
In a testy exchange of letters and statements revealing the gulf between the two sides, USADA urged Armstrong to testify under oath to help "clean up cycling."
Armstrong's attorneys responded that the cyclist would rather take his information where it could do more good ? namely to cycling's governing body and World Anti-Doping Agency officials.
USADA's response to that: "The time for excuses is over."
The letters, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, underscore the continuing feud between Armstrong and USADA CEO Travis Tygart, the man who spearheaded the investigation that uncovered a complex doping scheme on Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service teams.
Armstrong's seven Tour de France victories were taken away last year and he was banned for life from the sport.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week, Armstrong admitted doping, said he owed a long list of apologies and that he would like to see his lifetime ban reduced so he can compete again.
His most realistic avenue toward that might be telling USADA everything he knows in a series of interviews the agency wants started no later than Feb. 6.
That seems unlikely.
Armstrong attorney Tim Herman responded to USADA's first letter, sent Wednesday, by saying his client's schedule is already full, and besides, "in order to achieve the goal of 'cleaning up cycling,' it must be WADA and the (International Cycling Union) who have overall authority to do so."
By Friday night, Herman strongly suggested Armstrong won't meet with USADA at all but intends to appear before the UCI's planned "truth and reconciliation" commission.
"Why would we cooperate (with USADA)?" Herman said in a telephone interview. "USADA isn't interested in cleaning up cycling. Lance has said, 'I'll be the first guy in the chair when cycling is on trial, truthfully, under oath, in every gory detail.' I think he's going testify where it could actually do some good: With the body that's charged with cleaning up cycling," Herman said.
In its last letter to Armstrong, sent Friday evening, USADA attorney William Bock said his agency and WADA work hand-in-hand in that effort.
"Regardless, and with or without Mr. Armstrong's help, we will move forward with our investigation for the good of clean athletes and the future of sport," Bock's letter reads.
The letters confirm a Dec. 14 meeting in Denver involving Armstrong, Tygart and their respective attorneys, which is when, in Tygart's words, Armstrong should have started thinking about a possible meeting with USADA.
"He has been given a deadline of February 6th to determine whether he plans to come in and be part of the solution," Tygart said in a statement. "Either way, USADA is moving forward with our investigation on behalf of clean athletes."
The letters were sent to the AP after details about a Tygart interview with "60 Minutes," being aired Sunday, were made public.
Among Tygart's claims: Armstrong is lying when he says he didn't dope during his 2009-10 comeback.
Tygart said USADA's report on Armstrong's doping included evidence Armstrong was still cheating in those years.
"His comeback was totally clean," Herman said. "It's pretty fashionable to kick Lance Armstrong around right now."
Tygart also reiterated that an Armstrong associate offered USADA a donation of more than $200,000. Armstrong denied that in his interview with Winfrey, too.
In advancing his claim that USADA is only a bit player in the investigation, Herman noted in his letter, sent to USADA on Friday, that most cycling teams are based in Europe.
"I'm pretty sick of people trying to blame a European cycling culture that goes back to the 1920s on one guy," Herman said.
Bock's response to that: "Your suggestion that there is some other body with which Lance should coordinate is misguided," he said in his final letter.
