How can I find an eco-friendly company to buy shares in? (And how do I go about buying shares?)?

I’m an art major, still in college, and I don’t know much about investing money.
I have about 1000 dollars sitting in the bank, so I am getting interest, but I know that leaving it there won’t pay off too much in the long run. I want to invest it somehow so I can get a payoff either in five years or so, after I’m finished with school and want to buy a house, or even when I’m ready to retire I guess.
As far as I know, the stock market is high-risk but high-pay off. I think investing in an eco-friendly company would be pretty safe and profitable though with current trends.
Do you think it’s a good idea or is there somewhere better I can put my money?
And how do you buy shares? I have no idea.
