(an annual billion dollar environmental conscious flooring manufacturer). Sadly Ray passed away August 9, 2011 - Ray’s iconic spirit and pioneering vision are not only his legacy, but our future. He became well-known as a champion of the business case for sustainability, with over 1,000 speeches to his name. He wrote two books on the topic: Mid-Course Correction (1998) and Confessions Of A Radical Industrialist (2009). In 2008 Ray co-chaired the Presidential Climate Action Plan for the Obama administration, and in the Clinton administration he served as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development. He was crowned Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst &amp; Young in 1996 and was named one of TIME magazine’s Heroes of the Environment in 2007. Ray was also a commentator on the Sundance Channel series “Big Ideas for a Small Planet.”<br /> Ray, you were loved, and you will be missed!!!
