Sustainability is a subject that tends to come up in
conversations not just among activists and green business leaders, but normal
everyday citizens as well. You saw in a previous article where we gave you tips
on how to be more sustainable, such as recycling, or buying from local markets.
You also hear of people giving the thumbs up to solar, or wind. But the
question remains, how does one become an even more active member of
sustainability? Well a potential solution to this is through Green Bonds. What
are they? Well Green Bonds, as stated by a report from TD are “a debt instrument
issued to raise capital that is used exclusively to support projects with
specific environmental benefits.” [1] Simply put, they are bonds that
individuals can invest in that further help in sustainability projects. This is
a great way to invest in the future, and to play an active part in
sustainability. They are also tax-free bonds, which are an added bonus. They
are still quite new to the market, and so there aren’t a whole lot out there, but
as green bonds become more frequent, there will be many investors flooding the
market.
