Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We haven’t looked at any plan to encourage stores, especially grocery stores to do that. I do suspect that will be a natural next step as people start asking for that. I know, for example, in the store in Fort Smith, the owner there has taken it upon himself to buy a cardboard press and he bundles and ships all of his cardboard south. He makes a few dollars, but he saves $1,200 a month on tipping fees at the dump. I think if there is a demand from people that don’t want plastic bags, that would be looked at. We can make a note as we go forward to raise that issue with grocery retailers. Thank you.
