Private investment almost invariably has negative returns, and even ESG ETFs are sketchy as you note.

As others have written, for positive returns, focus on capital investments in your own life. I have a solar subscription with a 10% IRR and recently replaced my pool pump with a variable speed one: $2,000 installed that saves $300/annum with an average lifespan of ten years for an 8.1% IRR.

Go solar. Replace your gas heat with a heat pump. Install on demand or electric heat pump water heaters. Swap your gas car for an electic.

Vote both at the ballot and with your wallet against MAGA policies.
