Dymphna Boholt on Education

Education has always been a very vital part of the world's overall evolution, and has been the primary key for a human's understanding of its environment. The frightening thing is that the more we have come to understand of our environment the more we have come to realise that, it is indeed a very fragile thing and that we humans as a race have been very bad stewards of the fragile ecosystems that we live in. Dymphna Boholt is a huge beliver in the power of education.

To see how bad we have treated matters, all one needs to do is pick up almost any newspaper today and the two word phrase Global Warming is bound to be found in many places within that newspaper. We in the first world have really taken progress and development to extremes, so much so that after we have finished, there has not been much left with the environment and indeed the original inhabitants that lived within that ecosystem.

It is therefore important that we as prudent investors that go about the adventure of making important financial decisions in a very sound and respnsible manner. Instead of carrying on like we have in the past and looked at investment decisions as very black and white decisions. Its time we actually too into account the impact of that investment on its overall environment. This new concept of corporate social responsibility is a growing movement in todays global economy. Dympna Boholt is following this new movement with a keen interest.
