| | An interview with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard | By Amanda Griscom Little | Grist | Main Dish | 22 Oct 2004 |
 | | Yvon Chouinard, world-class mountaineer, diehard surfer, obsessive fly fisher -- oh yes, and founder and owner of Patagonia, Inc. -- is as famous for his brio and gutsy outdoorsmanship as he is for his visionary business strategy. |
 | | Chouinard spoke with Grist from his Patagonia headquarters in Ventura, Calif., about the presidential campaign, the challenges of pushing a business toward sustainability, why he's more powerful than Bill Ford, and whether the planet is toast. |
 | | If you are voting for a congressman who has a really good voting record on the environment and the other guy who's got a 10 percent [voting record], let me tell you I think that 10 percent guy is probably going to get indicted for something pretty soon. |
