To Be of Use - Serving the Community

Peak Moment 102: A vocal proponent of going local, Dave Smith co-founded the Briarpatch Cooperative Market, co-founded "Smith & Hawken" and now owns a book store he can walk to. His book "To Be Of Use: The Seven Seeds of Meaningful Work" honors "creative action heroes" who meet real needs rather than just desires. He suggests judging others not by their stated values but by their virtues -- their character and actions. [www.grizzlegritz.com, briarpatchnetwork.wordpress.com]
