I saw Ray Anderson in the documentary 'The Corporation' on HULU. Then searched him on the web. Found this. They guy is a great CEO, and really takes the idea of ECO-BIZ seriously. If you get a chance, check out 'The Corporation' on HULU - in the documentary section. Interface and the documentary: Fantastic.
I had the privilege of hearing Mr. Anderson speak about a month ago at a Caring For Creation Conference. I will never forget his sincerity in climbing the mountain that is Sustainability.
It's actually part of the general strategy... "make where you sell, sell where you make." In other words, the Canadian facilities supply the Canadian markets. Shipping across borders / oceans creates CO2 emissions and a larger environmental footprint.
Ray Anderson is a true leader in supply chain strategy, reverse logistics, and sustainability. It's impressive and inspiring that he took the step to become a major leader in these areas.
I hope more businesses see the savings in helping the environment! It's the only way that we'll see a large reduction in our carbon emissions that are destroying the atmosphere.

Canada and the US have a fairly integrated economy...you need to look at the big picture before making a comment like that.
