Changing my bank account to smile.co.uk

Something I have done recently is change my current account from the Bank I have been with for the last ten years to Smile.co.uk. Smile are part of the large Cooperative bank in the Uk who are one of the only banks as far as I am aware that have an Ethical Banking policy.

This means that they don't invest any of your money in companies that deal with - gambling, tobacco, vivesection, animal testing, use of tropical wood, the list goes on.
And they invest in companies that have a postitve effect on society.

It isn't something I had ever considered before, till I was reading about it recently but it is something that is so important but overlooked for some reason.

If you are reading this and you know of any other Banks in the world that have an Ethical Investing Policy then please do leave a comment with a link to the Bank so that other people can read about it.
