Carpet lite
Ray Anderson the founder of Interface, a carpet and tile manufacturing company, decided in 1994 that his company would follow the path of "do no harm". His company would from now on do it's best to be environmentally responsible. He challenged his colleagues to set a deadline for Interface to become a “restorative enterprise,” a sustainable operation that takes nothing out of the earth that cannot be recycled or quickly regenerated, and that does no harm to the biosphere. The deadline they ultimately set is 2020, and the idea has taken hold throughout the company. Read more about it.
