The
New York Times had a sit-down with chief executive Marv Hopkins of Hunter-Douglas. One of the questions was about global warming.
A. I can’t measure it, but many of the unique window coverings we’ve developed are cellular — they have an insulating air space in the middle, between two or three layers of fabric — and do a great deal to reduce energy needs in the home by helping to keep the cold air out in the winter and the heat out in the summer. Our products are green. We see an opportunity going forward to promote these advantages even more strongly to a receptive public.
The media has simply accepted climate change to the point that now these type of questions seem completly legitamite. I have to wonder if Mr. Hopkins thought the question was odd or if he is sold on the whole thing too.
