After founding my company, Interface, from scratch in 1973, 36 years ago, to produce carpet tiles in America for the business and institution markets, and shepherding it through start-up and survival to prosperity and global dominance in its field, I read Paul Hawken's book, "The Ecology of Commerce," the summer of 1994.
Nakon osnivanja svog poduzeća, Interface 1973., prije 36 godina, kako bih proizvodio tepihe u Americi za poslovne objekte i institucije, predvodeći ga kroz start-up i  preživljavanje do prosperiteta i svjetske dominacije  u tom polju, čitao sam knjigu Paula Hawkena, "Ekologija trgovanja" u ljeto 1994.
