earth next revolution
The new course we're on at Interface ... is to pioneer the next Industrial Revolution: one that is kinder and gentler to the earth.
business different needs
If we somehow put a value on species extinction and factor that into our costs that bottom line would look very different. IF we put any resource depletion into costs our bottom line would change. So what we have is a dishonest market that does not take into account all the costs when it establishes its prices. We need an honest marketplace before we can let the market work for sustainability rather than against it as it works today.
business people purpose
I always make the business case for sustainability. It's so compelling. Our costs are down, not up. Our products are the best they have ever been. Our people are motivated by a shared higher purpose - esprit de corps to die for. And the goodwill in the marketplace - it's just been astonishing.
earth cases
What’s the business case for ending life on earth?
business culture looks
The status quo is a product of our culture or our culture is a product of the status quo - I'm sure which is the effect and which is the product - there is probably a feedback loop there that is mutually reinforcing. But we have a culture that says "Hey, look around. This place called Earth was created for you and you can do anything you want with it."
business war oil
We need an honest bottom line. Today that bottom line is vastly subsidized. If anyone of us were paying the full cost of oil our bottom lines would be very different. If you internalize the cost of oil, look at the cost of the war in the Middle East or the cost of global warming for future generations, if you internalize those external costs and what you pay, that bottom line would look very different, what ever business you are in.

The fact that only 17 points were scored in round three is testament to both teams. There was not much between us. It was fairly physical and fairly brutal. There was a lot of errors but that was due to pressure.
admire fact fantastic people
The fact that people can see and admire it, that's why they think it is a fantastic resource.
experience memoir turned
The experience has turned my writing from memoir to mentor.
deficit
The deficit is getting worse, but that's not a surprise.
demand extended later period stretched
The demand is going to come later and be stretched over an extended period of time.
decision fame grown practical quickly small town wealth york
The decision to keep everything in a small town in Mississippi was not a practical decision. Daddy's fame would have grown much more quickly in New York. Our wealth would have grown much more quickly in New York or Paris. It wasn't practical. It was philosophical.
concerns course man measure mission playwright whatever
The mission of the playwright is to look in his heart and write, to write whatever concerns him at the moment; to write with passion and conviction. Of course the measure of the man will be the measure of the play.
quotes
