Anyone who thinks he is too small to make a difference has never been in bed with a mosquito. Anita Roddick

We know we will never be a large company. We don't care to be. But we do intend to leverage everything we do to promote being better stewards and trustees of our lands and our communities. Our development projects try to walk the talk. Our talks try to provide a vision for the walking we need to do. These three Melaver books help shape that vision.

Living Above the Store is about management principles and practices for running a sustainable business. The Green Building Bottom Line provides a decade's worth of data on the costs and benefits of running such a business. Local Action takes us beyond the realm of one business to promoting a sustainable agenda for an entire community through adoption of the ICLEI standards.

We may not necessarily be a mosquito. Or a sand gnat. But we do strive to be a gadfly for doing business differently, more holistically. These three books try to capture the essence of what we are all about.
