What he is doing seems phenomenal and impressive but in reality all he’s doing is living In integrity. It’s more shocking to realize how out of integrity most of the business world is by comparison. AND he is an incredible guiding light who I hope the rest of us can learn from to keep our priorities straight. Yvon is a real enlightened businessperson and as perfect a role model as I’ve come across. Just want to keep singing his praises…

His business would not have been possible without utilizing all of the benefits of fossil fuel.

. @maxbrazil3712 Given the conditions we all live under, he has done his utmost and more to run the company as environmentally friendly as possible. Read his book "Let my people go surfing" and be inspired.
