00:16.600 --> 00:18.466 line:10% align:start position:50%
Most of the turtles
that we've studied,

00:18.466 --> 00:21.300 line:10% align:start position:50%
we've found plastic
in their stomachs.

00:37.966 --> 00:39.933 line:10% align:start position:50%
We kind of live on a premise
that everyone's good natured.

00:39.933 --> 00:44.833 line:10% align:start position:50%
So, you know,
with us providing businesses

00:44.833 --> 00:48.733 line:10% align:start position:50%
and consumers an alternative
to petroleum

00:48.733 --> 00:53.733 line:10% align:start position:50%
at affordable prices,
the demand for our products

00:53.733 --> 00:55.966 line:10% align:start position:50%
has been quite strong,
and we believe that

00:55.966 --> 00:59.266 line:10% align:start position:50%
if we can get everyone
to start taking a small step,

00:59.266 --> 01:02.966 line:10% align:start position:50%
a couple steps forward
in transitioning their products

01:02.966 --> 01:05.466 line:10% align:start position:50%
away from fossil fuels,
that's big progress.
