Pay It Forward Day 2017

We’re still reeling from all the action on April 28th, Pay it Forward Day, with over 80 countries and over 100 state and cities who participated. Between everyone, that’s a lot of kind action rippling across the globe!

In case you missed it, it’s not too late to participate. Do something positive in your community or offer something (a good or service) on TrikleTrade. If you don’t quite understand how TrikleTrade operates or need some simple acts of kindness ideas, check
out the first of our Pay it Forward Stories Series below (more kindness stories coming soon):

Emilia Flores owns The Taco Stop in Dallas, Texas, known for their delicious tacos. However, Emilia wanted to contribute more. She had noticed a few other locations around town offering community support to those in need and became inspired to get involved.

Winter was just around the corner, so Emilia decided to place a coat rack outside her shop with a sign: ‘Are you cold? Take one. Do you want to help? Leave one.’ 

Quite quickly community members, including a retired Marine, began leaving jackets. As many coats were given, many were also well received. Emilia proves it only takes one person, an idea, and small acts of kindness to bring warmth to a community.

Well-done Emilia! If you’re inspired by this story and want to leave a jacket of your own, we’re similar to Emilia’s coat rack, post your jacket or any other good or service on www.TrikleTrade.com. It’s free, easy, and we’ll make sure everyone’s small acts of kindness are seen. Here’s to an awesome Pay it Forward Day and paying it forward 365 days out of the year!

Socially Responsible Investing - Balancing Social Values with Financial Goals

Image
In recent times, there has been a growing interest and curiosity in the concept of ‘socially responsible funds’.  This has lead investment companies offering mutual funds and similar financial products to grow their portfolios to better serve their clients. As a way to keep abreast of changing investment habits, as it relates to social values, investment companies recently surveyed potential clients.  The majority of the responses were from women and people under the age of forty-nine.  These responses indicate that investors believe having choices to be socially responsible in their investments is important.  Traditional core tenets still remain the standard, such as to increase long-term profits through positive customer experience, and incorporate high ethical standards.  However, the new socially responsible investor is looking for corporate social responsibility strategies that go beyond the standard.  Investors are looking for companies that have a proven positive social im

The Benefits of Being Kind to Others

Image
The world is not full of bad people. There are quite a few who perform simple acts of kindness to benefit others. In fact, these random acts of kindness that they perform also benefit their own overall health, with or without their knowledge. These are so simple; you can do them too. It is these acts, that add up to your goodwill, which is more contagious than just smiling at the people you see on the street. These are not just random acts, but go a long way in helping you develop a habit of sharing your kindness that has a lot of nurturing as well as healing power.

He has worked in the banking industry for forty years, which helps him tutor students well. The college doesn’t pay him; he simply does it on his own. He says this keeps him younger and sharper. This is something he chose as he did not want to sit id
