Introduction

This attracts employees. This gives us good PR. This reduces our permit fees or our electricity costs. Do you know? So I think trying to show the multitude of ways in which improving the environment helps the business. It'll hopefully, one or more of those will be enough to get people interested, and then hopefully, it's not so much about; we're just doing this because it's the right thing to do. But it's good for business too, and, and hopefully, you know, they'll come around to it. I really think if people get into this and really study and look at the impacts to our environment, I think they'll gain an appreciation for it.
