All,
  Apologizes for the short notice on today's speaker.  Here is a bit more
background on Interface:

  Interface stands at the forefront of a new industrial revolution. The
company has reduced its environmental footprint significantly, redesigning
processes and products, pioneering new technologies and reducing or
eliminating waste and harmful emissions while increasing the use of
renewable materials and sources of energy.

  The founder of the company, Ray Anderson, has embarked on a mission to "be
the first company that, by its deeds, shows the entire industrial world what
sustainability is in all its dimensions: People, process, product, place and
profits - by 2020 - and in doing so, to become restorative through the power
of influence. He's leading a worldwide effort to pioneer the processes of
sustainable development.
