- 9 years ago
March 24, 2014 /3BL Media/ - The Ray C. Anderson Foundation recently awarded a $100,000 ?NextGen? grant to the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) who, in partnership with Interface, Inc., has created an innovative program called Net-Works. Net-Works is a cross-sector collaboration designed to tackle the growing environmental problem of discarded fishing nets in some of the world?s poorest coastal communities, while at the same time supporting one of Interface?s ambitious Mission Zero? goals to source 100% recycled nylon. NextGen grants are those awarded by decision of the five adult grandchildren of Ray Anderson, the late founder and chairman of Interface, Inc.
?Net-Works embodies Ray?s idea of what a ?restorative enterprise? might look like,? said Jay Lanier, Ray?s grandchild and an account executive of Interface, Inc., remembering a question his grandfather frequently asked: ?How do we make the world better with every square yard of carpet that we sell??
