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 />
