Craig Unger, and Nancy Goshow for their guidance in<br />
this subject. Thanks very much. And thanks to the<br />
directors for teeing up this piece <strong>of</strong> presentation<br />
and opportunity to speak with you about the subject<br />
matter.<br />
Yes, Bill's support has been paramount for<br />
the program, obviously. And the way we're<br />
organized, I think, is very aligned with industry<br />
and the fact that lead rating system revolves around<br />
these five categories <strong>of</strong> concern. You'll see those<br />
in the smaller bubbles there where we have specific<br />
working groups on site, water, energy, indoor<br />
environment materials, and then we also added the<br />
research and development group. So we have<br />
specialties and skill sets from the <strong>Department</strong> all<br />
working together.<br />
If you could, just back up one slide. I<br />
just wanted to, our panel wanted to definitely focus<br />
on one <strong>of</strong> the biggest drivers in the industry right<br />
now is the discussion <strong>of</strong> carbon. Carbon foot<br />
printing, carbon trading, and can you get carbon<br />
neutral. And so I wanted to tee that up for all <strong>of</strong><br />
us to discuss a little bit and first wanted to just<br />
let you know that there is really a three-pronged<br />
approach or three-step approach when you're talking<br />
