Investment bond as present

[Smallfry]

Hi I am looking for an environmentally sensitive investment bond to give to my niece for her 21st. I want to spend around 100 Euro and found one called Climate Awareness Bond by European Investment Bank, but in the small print it actually invests in Oil companies and Car manufacturers! Anyway I don’t know how to go about buying this for her. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I don't know if anyone will sell you €100 worth of bonds.

"Environmentally sensitive" is a very woolly/subjective term - and maybe the oil and car company in questions are somehow "greener" than the regular ones or something?
