Paul Hawken
The Ecology of Commerce
Believe me or not, I come offering a solution to a very important part of this larger problem, with the requisite focus on climate. And the solution I offer is to the biggest culprit in this massive mistreatment of the earth by humankind, and the resulting decline of the biosphere. That culprit is business and industry, which happens to be where I have spent the last 52 years since my graduation from Georgia Tech in 1956. As an industrial engineer, cum aspiring and then successful entrepreneur. 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. In his book, Paul charges business and industry as, one, the major culprit in causing the decline of the biosphere, and, two, the only institution that is large enough, and pervasive enough, and powerful enough, to really lead humankind out of this mess. And by the way he convicted me as a plunderer of the earth.
不管相不相信，我来这儿是要解决问题的。我们面对的问题很大， 但今天我只想就问题在气候方面的影响发表看法。我要提供的这一解决方案，是给那些已经给地球造成巨大创伤、 以及造成生物圈之消亡的人带来的。 罪魁祸首是工业和商业，而这刚好是我1956年从乔治亚理工大学毕业之后的52年里一直在做的事情。我是一名工业工程师，也走过了从创业家到企业家的道路。我白手起家，创建了界面地毯公司，那时候是1973年，36年前了，我们为美国市场生产地毯，我们的客户主要是商业公司和研究机构。我经历了公司从草创到生存到繁盛到占领全球市场的过程。后来我读到了保罗·霍肯的一本书，《商业生态学》，那是1994年的夏季。在那本书里，保罗将商业以及工业称作导致生物圈破坏的罪魁祸首同时，这些商业公司也是唯一的有足够的市场资源和力量去引导人类走出困局的机构。顺便提一下，在那本书里， 保罗称我是地球资源的掠夺者。
