Gun titled In the Future, People Like Me Will Go to Jail Ray Anderson is on a mission to clean up American businesses--starting with his own. Can a Georgia carpet mogul save the planet? This article is referenced in Anderson's TED Talk.Anderson mentions a book by Paul Hawken, the entrepreneur behind the Smith & Hawken gardening supplies empire. In it, we find that Hawken is no ordinary capitalist. Drawing as much on Baba Ram Dass and Vaclav Havel as he does on Peter Drucker and WalMart for his case studies, Hawken is on a one-man crusade to reform our economic system by demanding that First World businesses reduce their consumption of energy and resources by 80 percent in the next 50 years. As if that weren't enough, Hawken argues that business goals should be redefined to embrace such fuzzy categories as whether the work is aesthetically pleasing and the employees are having fun; this applies to corporate giants and mom-and-pop operations alike. He proposes a culture of business in which the real world, the natural world, is allowed to flourish as well, and in which the planet's needs are addressed.
