I thought I'd share it with you. Restoring the Planet, One Carpet Tile at a Time An Interview with Ray Anderson Founder and Chairman, Interface Corporation Ray Anderson founded Interface, Inc. in 1973 to adapt European carpet tiling technology to the American market. He had no idea that two decades later he would be a prime force in reinventing the worldwide floor covering industry.

This represents an savings of approximately $365 per available room night per year for every hotel room in the country!
