Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia Founder, on Tavis Smiley Show

Yvon Chouinard, founder and owner of Patagonia, will appear on the Tavis Smiley show tomorrow, November 29th. Says Smiley's Web site: "Yvon Chouinard is a surfer, fly fisher and world-class mountaineer. He’s also founder of Patagonia, Inc., an outdoor clothing company that he built into a $230 million company without taking it public. On the premise that green business is good business, he devotes 1% of annual sales to grassroots environmental organizations. Chouinard is also a noted writer, on climbing issues and ethics and, in Let My People Go Surfing, relates his core philosophies that are simultaneously common sense and radical."

You can find info. on the book at the Patagonia site.
