The divestment train has left the station. It’s hard to pass a headline that doesn’t include the words ‘divestment’ and ‘foundation’ in the same sentence these days.

They have also reported that the concentration of carbon dioxide has gone from 280 parts per million in 1750 to over 400 parts in 2013. But what does this have
I will be giving an informal chat on How to be an Activist Shareholder this Thursday the 25th at Lydia’s Sunflower Center at 6:30pm.
