ECOpreneuring: Putting Purpose and the Planet before Profits
by John Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

From "mom-preneurs" to Boomers launching the dream green business they always wanted, there are more people today yearning for a soul-nourishing business that celebrates our human spirit and potential. Small, sustainable and place-based businesses and the ecopreneurs who run them are becoming the very foundation of the emerging new green economy of the 21st Century. Increasingly, launching either for-profit or non-profit businesses are seen as the means to create a more sustainable and socially just tomorrow.

ECOpreneuring provides an in-depth exploration of:

• Eco-business basics and the triple bottom line
• Money matters, including funding your business and personal finance issues never taught in business school
• Marketing in the green economy with 7-Ps, not just 5-Ps
• How technology, information and the new global commons can transform your business model

This accessible and inspiring guide includes Ecopreneur Profiles featuring businesses in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors of the green economy, including Peter Nicholson, Executive and Creative Director of the Foresight Design Initiative.
