    Oprah gave out 4500 copies of Daniel Pink’s book “A Whole NewMind” when she delivered the Stanford University's commencement address to the class of 2008.  Her message to this class was that traditional technical and knowledge-based jobs are disappearing and that they will need to use conceptual collaborative thinking to be successful in the 21st century. 

    This is the same type of “New Thinking” that is going to create great new business opportunities as we figure our how to develop a sustainable economy. The business plan “Natural Capitalism” for this new economy has already been written, all we need now is the leadership to implement sustainable business practice. It is companies like Interface Carpet that are working towards Mission 0 by the year 2020 that will be successful in this new economy. Organizations that successfully adopt sustainable business models are 38% more profitable as was reported in Bob Willard’s book the  “Sustainable Advantage” a case study of seven sustainable companies included Interface Carpets.

    A recent study found that when emissions go up, stock goes down as the market is responding almost immediately when a company reports an event that could cause climate change. 

    For the building industry that current emits 35% of all Greenhouse Gas Emissions we can minimize these emissions by taking advantage of energy management investment that provide a 25% ROI. For new building we can eliminate the 10% waste that is inherent in traditional project delivery methods and documented in the book “Broken Buildings Busted Budgets” by Barry Lepatner and use it to build Net 0 buildings at Net 0 additional capital. (Net 0-0)

    There are many excellent investments that could help your organization to produce LessCO2 and realize more profit.
