On August 8th we lost a pioneer in Sustainability and a contributor to the Anthology, Child Honouring: How To Turn This World Around. Ray C. Anderson was founder and chairman of Interface Inc., one of the world's largest manufacturers of modular carpet for commercial and residential applications and a leading producer of commercial broadloom and commercial fabrics. He was known for his leadership on industrial ecology and sustainability.

Raffi has been writing & recording again, songs of tribute to the recently departed Ray Anderson and Jack Layton. His Child Honouring advocacy has moved the Centre into partnering with a New Brunswick initiative at forming a children's environmental bill of rights.
