We were getting catalogs. We have catalogs for our greeting cards and the vendor was shipping them to us in this really thick shrink wrap. And so our employees were having to spend all this time getting all this shrink wrap off of all these thousands of catalogs, and we didn't even need to shrink wrap. It wasn't actually protecting the catalogs. So we went back to them and said, "Hey we don't want the shrink wrap." So, they made a special occasion for us and now we get all of those delivered shrink-wrap free. So we're able to just not even have to recycle that material. So there's just lots of ways when you might have to kind of rethink things. Julie Peterson: That's a great example. A lot of those things are things so many organizations can do whether they're pursuing certification or not. I think I put one more in there, sorry. Oh you have mentioned that you have internal positions dedicated to sustainability like yours. If an organization doesn't have a dedicated position would you recommend that they outsource some of this? Do you have any recommendations?
