Grist's Top 15 Green Entrepreneurs

Today Grist.org listed their favorite 15 Green Business Founders. This inspiring leadership list included the likeliest suspects, like legendary Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and Ray Anderson, whose modular commercial carpet company Interface may be the largest on this list ($1.07B in 2006 sales).

The Top 15 also includes some more under-the-radar innovators, like Pizza Fusion, a Florida company that delivers pies in hybrids, and YOLO Colorhouse, which makes contaminant-free house paint.

It's an inspiring list of entrepreneurs who had social impact in mind from the beginning of building their successful business fact, rather than adding it as a consideration after the fact (which is nonetheless a great alternative).
