And I then challenged the people of Interface, my company, to lead our company and the entire industrial world to sustainability, which we defined as eventually operating our petroleum-intensive company in such a way as to take from the earth only what can be renewed by the earth, naturally and rapidly -- not another fresh drop of oil -- and to do no harm to the biosphere.
Tada sam izazvao ljude u Interfaceu,  mom poduzeću, da vode naše poduzeće i cijeli industrijski svijet do održivosti, koju smo definirali kao upravljanje našim poduzećem, koja zahtjeva puno petroleja, na takav način da uzimamo od zemlje samo ono što zemlja može brzo i prirodno obnoviti -- nijedna dodatna kap nafte -- i bez štete biosferi.
