If you're between the ages of 18 and 34, there's a good chance you have some cash lying around that could be put to better use.
That's because, as MarketWatch reports, young people are increasingly looking to invest their money in ways that not only benefit the environment, but also their own well-being.
One way to do so is to focus on "conscious investing," which, as MarketWatch puts it, "focuses on considerations among the youth to contribute positively to the world while building their wealth."
That means investing in companies that "operate ethically, prioritize environmental sustainability, and exhibit strong governance practices."
MarketWatch's take: "By making conscious choices about where to invest, young investors can indeed balance the pursuit of profit with a meaningful impact on the planet and society."
