Another Resource to Help Aspiring Ecopreneurs

January 8, 2009 By 3 Comments

In addition to Paul’s posting on Startingupgreen, another very similar service exists at www.ecopreneursguide.com, a helpful site for those looking to start a green company or learn about ecopreneurship. 

I started the Ecopreneur’s Guide (also on Facebook by the same name, please become a fan if you’d like!) shortly after writing Build a Green Small Business:  Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur.  My previous experience was as publisher and ecopreneur of a regional green business directory called the ReDirect Guide, which I started with Mike Johnson, Robin Wang, and Kirsten Gelella in 2004 in Utah. 

Ecopreneursguide.com is a blog and resource guide.  Check it out and send me feedback!  Would love to hear from everyone.

About Scott Cooney

Scott Cooney is an Adjunct Professor of Sustainability at the University of Hawai'i, green business startup coach, author of Build a Green Small Business: Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur (McGraw-Hill), and developer of the sustainability board game GBO Hawai'i. As a serial eco-entrepreneur who has started, grown and sold multiple green businesses, Scott believes that capitalism, true capitalism, can be a powerful force for change, but that our current version of capitalism is severely hampered by perverse subsidies and negative externalities that make unsustainable products less expensive than healthier alternatives. Scott is a vegetarian, an avid cyclist, and an organic gardener.
