Context: Interface – How does a business that is centred on fossil fuel become an environmental revolutionary?

Please refer to chapter 6 of the book and go to Interface’s website that is a goldmine of information and to the Ishmael site one of two key books that inspired the Chairman of Interface, Ray Anderson, to begin the journey

Questions:
i. What is the role of personal leadership?
ii. What is the power of participation?
iii. What is the linkage between sustainability and financial results?
iv. This process had begun before the adoption of the Natural Step, what was the additional value of bringing it into Interface?

Work: Role playing. It is one thing to criticize others from the point of view of the outsider – it is another to get under the skin of someone who is not like you. In this period we will find out what each main player in our food system really feels like by spending a whole week in role.

Here are the roles that we will all be using. I will assign roles to each of you and we will take each other on in role.

Our topic – What is going on in agriculture on PEI?
