Commentaires

Yvon Chouinard est un grand sportif (alpinisme, surf, kayak...). Il a commencé à fabriquer des pitons pour satisfaire ses propres besoins, puis il en a fait pour des amis, puis pour des clients...
Puis il a conçu et fait fabriquer des vêtements techniques.
Ses soucis : faire le meilleur produit, en essayant d'avoir un impact minimum sur la nature.
Le livre : le récit de sa vie, et l'explication de la philosophie de sa société. La lecture est passionnante !
Espérons que cet exemple en inspirera d'autres !
Un livre à lire absolument !
