Ivanko and Kivirist innkeepers, authors, and wearers of many other hats truly walk the green talk, detailing the nittygritty of running a green business. Library JournalI'm not even sure I'd call this a 'business book.' ECOpreneuring contains plenty of advice on starting a small, ecoconscious business, but the authors focus primarliy on how entrepreneurial efforts can incorporate values and priorities beyond the bottom line. Lifestyle choices trump profit motives, but neither have to be sacrificed in order to create meaning and income.This kind of positive thinking is repeated again and again throughout the book.
