Welcome to the March 3, 2008 edition of the Ethical Investing Blog Carnival.

Bloggers were invited to submit articles on ethical investing, which includes such topics as environmentally friendly, people friendly, animal friendly investments; what makes an investment "ethical," can it be profitable?, what commonly called "ethical" investments are anything but that?, is investing in the so called "vice" industry necessary unethical?, and the like.


There were 24 submissions for this edition. Here are the best four:

This blog looks at Vanguard's socially responsible investing option. The Vanguard FTSE Social Index is based on the FTSE 4Good Index which has a rigorous screening of funds. I analyze the fund's performance, fees, and its holdings to see if it is worth investing in."
