Ray Anderson built his $1 billion Georgia-based carpet business by, as he describes it, plundering the Earth: using lots of fossil fuels and water, and creating mountains of carpet scraps in landfills.
Now he's got Interface Inc.'s 4,000 employees climbing Mount Sustainability and working on Mission Zero, a multi-faceted goal to make the company environmentally neutral by 2020. Time International magazine recently named Anderson one of its "Heroes of the Environment."
