A few weeks ago I attended a speech given by Ray Anderson who is the Founder and Chairman of Interface, Inc, a carpet company. His passion for the environment and his sustainability mission truly was inspirational. I pulled this off the company website:"While Interface is noted in the industry for high quality design and innovation, the company is recognized as an out-front leader in the green business movement. Ray heightened the company’s awareness and led changes in sourcing, process and technologies to move toward being environmentally sustainable, and named the efforts Mission Zero. Under Mission Zero, we are learning to harness solar, wind, biomass and other forms of green energy and providing raw material needs by harvesting and recycling carpet and other petrochemical products, while eliminating waste and harmful emissions from our operations."
