Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: At his carpet-manufacturing company - one of the largest in the world - industrial engineer Ray Anderson has increased sales and doubled profits while turning the traditional "take-make-waste" business model on its head. In this TEDTalk, Anderson shares his vision of a sustainable commerce that allows economy and ecology to coexist. Called "America's greenest CEO" by Fortune, Anderson believes that although business and industry have caused the decline of the biosphere, they can also spearhead the movement to reverse the alarming trend.
