| Abstract | Many of the Church’s areas of ethical concern relating to investment, such as armaments, alcohol, or tobacco, are long standing.

(the word ‘ecology’ is derived from the Greek word ‘oikos’ meaning ‘household’, which is also the root behind ‘economics’.) General popular concern about the environment is younger still. Many people would attribute it to the 1961 publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, a warning about the dangers of modern industrial chemicals such as DDT to the natural world. |
