Ahi wrote and illustrated a little book
called ‘ecoman the untold story’ for a Fathers day gift
a few years back which is still much loved by her Dad,
Malcolm Rands aka ecoman and we think you’ll love it too.
Take a look at our beautiful animated video, it’ll only
take a minute and we promise it’ll make you
smile.
Malcolm’s also just written his own book too called Ecoman, and in it he shares some personal stories from the past, like this one:
I was very shy as a child. I wasn’t like the other kids, and I was painfully aware of that fact. I was the kind of kid who was caught up in his own fantasy world. Despite being slightly dyslexic I was an early reader, and I had a taste for history, adventure and warfare, and then, when I discovered Tolkien, for fantasy and, later, science fiction. I wasn’t sporty. Being different is no asset when you’re a kid.

ECOMAN
From a garage in Northland to a pioneering global brand
The story of how Malcolm Rands, an organic gardener and hippy from Northland, built the pioneering global brand ecostore.
This inspirational memoir gives an insight into the mind of an entrepreneur, activist and true Kiwi 'superhero'. It's a fascinating story of humble beginnings, taking on the multinationals and their nasty chemicals, bucking the trend and setting a new standard of healthier living.
