I would say that if you eat chocolate, drink coffee or use any technology you most likely give money to companies that indirectly use child labor or poison the planet so all those indexes mean nothing to me. My reply was ironic, sorry for that.

    Hey, this is called the Nirvana logical fallacy. Just because I do other unethical things in my life, that doesn't mean buying an ethical ETF instead of a normal ETF is useless.

    For example, using the Nirvana logical fallacy, I could justify not going to the gym today because I already ate unhealthy food for lunch. It is impossible to be live a perfectly healthy life, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't focus on trying to be as healthy as possible within the confines of what we are willing to sacrifice.

    Same thing goes for living an ethical lifestyle.

    Hope this helps!
