:50:00
Women are the majority
:50:01
the poor
and working poor

:50:03
make up the majority
of this planet.

:50:06
So the decisions
they make

:50:08
come from not the reality
that exists in the world.

:50:14
How much is enough?
:50:16
How much is enough?
:50:17
If you are a billionaire
:50:19
would it be okay just
to be a half a billionaire?

:50:20
Wouldn’t it be okay
for your company

:50:23
to make a little
less money...

:50:25
When I bought those
two airplane tickets

:50:27
for Phil Knight and myself
to fly to Indonesia

:50:30
I was prepared for him
to say okay lets go.

:50:34
Oh no not a chance
:50:36
Not a chance.
:50:37
No?
:50:38
They’re transferable.
:50:39
I can change it
to another day.

:50:40
And call me on it.
:50:41
Call my bluff.
:50:42
He’s a smart guy.
:50:43
I mean he’s not
he’s not stupid.

:50:44
And so I thought okay
get ready for this.

:50:46
Especially because you know
I bought first-class tickets.

:50:49
So you know it would be a
comfortable ride at least

:50:52
you know and of course he
tells me then on camera.

:50:55
I’ve never been to Indonesia.
:50:58
And I’m like taken
aback by this.

:51:00
I cant believe it.
:51:01
The guys the head
of the company

:51:02
he’s never walked through
his own factories.

:51:04
Oh you’ve got to go.
:51:05
I cant go right now and
the rest of this year.

:51:08
When we were done
filming he calls me up

:51:10
a couple of weeks
later and he goes

:51:13
I may have a chance to go
there with you to the factories.

:51:18
I’m going to the Australian
Open to watch some tennis.

:51:24
and uh you know
maybe I can get up there

:51:29
or at least
you can go there.

:51:31
Would you like to go
to the Australian open?

:51:36
For 21years
:51:38
I never gave a thought
to what we were taking

:51:41
from the earth or
doing to the earth

:51:44
in the making
of our products.

:51:46
And then
in the summer of 1994

:51:49
we began to hear questions
from our customers

:51:51
we had never
heard before

:51:53
What’s your company doing
for the environment?

:51:56
And we didn’t have answers.
:51:58
The real answer
was not very much.
