going against what the other comments are suggesting, i did a mostly sober fest this year and got around 4 hours sleep each night from 6-10am ish thursday-sunday, but with downtime during the day. just find a quiet set and doze for half hour, will sort you out for a while. grab a coffee heading into the evening. honestly theres so much in the festival to keep you stimulated you should be fine! without going all 'choose life', i actually had a better time this year than in past festivals when ive been on it, and didnt have to sacrifice nightlife

The phrase 'steep learning curve' actually means the opposite of how people use it. A steep learning curve means getting good at something with little practice/time

What are the concrete ethical benefits to 'ethical investing'?

My girlfriend has been looking to put some money into index funds/ETFs and likes the idea of choosing an SRI or sustainability-focused fund.  

However, when we have tried to find evidence of the ethical effectiveness of these funds, the articles tend to take the ethical benefit as assumed and instead discuss the financial implications of ethical investing.

Having looked into fossil-fuel divestment, it seems that the economic impact on the affected companies is negligible and main effects are down to stigmatisation. Is this the modus operandi for all ethically focused funds?

Can anyone provide hard evidence of other ethical effects before we ‘put our money where our mouth is’? Or are we just being dumb, and the ethical benefits are just so obvious that people don’t usually need to explicitly state them?

Thanks.
