The Ray C. Anderson Foundation was created in honor of the late Ray C. Anderson (1934-2011), founder of Interface, Inc. During his time at Interface, Ray championed the notion of businesses doing well by doing good. It’s these noble qualities of advancing knowledge and innovation around environmental stewardship and sustainability that recognized Ray as a pioneer in industrial ecology. The purpose of the Foundation is to perpetuate these shared values and continue the legacy that Ray left behind. Through research and funding, the Foundation aims to help create a better world for future generations—tomorrow’s child. We seek to: Fund innovative ideas and projects that promote visionary change in society. Educate the public and business leaders alike in meaningful ways that propel revolutionary, sustainable change. Inspire a new generation of leaders and consumers to be good stewards of the planet's resources, igniting action that radically impacts the way we live, work and play. Connect thinkers, builders, innovators and idealists to a shared, ethical responsibility to the environment.

Electric Vehicles are growing rapidly as a climate solution in Georgia. How do we ensure that the benefits of EVs are available to all Georgians? What is the truth behind some of the misconceptions about electric vehicles? Be sure to watch Drawdown Georgia's Climate Digest interview with Dory Larsen of Southern Alliance for Clean Energy for answers to some of your most important questions. #EVhttps://lnkd.in/eHVBkUvj
New Sustainable Transportation Toolkit available from Drawdown Georgia. Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Georgia. It’s a big problem, but it represents an even bigger opportunity to reduce emissions by choosing sustainable transportation options instead of gas-powered cars and trucks. Georgia researchers estimate that if we reduce vehicle miles traveled by just 2.5%, we can reduce emissions by 1 Megaton (Mt) by 2030. With the help of the experts at Go Georgia (formerly Georgia Bikes), Drawdown Georgia has launched this new toolkit. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eTE6xzmC
