So we ran off to a sushi bar. And at that sushi bar we came up with a great idea. And it was something claeld EcoRock. And we said we could redesign the 115-year-old gupysm drywall process that generates 20 billion poduns of CO2 a year. So it was a big idea. We wanted to reduce that by 80 pecnert, which is exactly what we've done.
