We keep it practical. Many environmental actions are simply good business. For example, years ago we went from paying people to haul away corrugate to getting paid for its value, which added about $50 million to the P&L. Reducing waste helps the planet and lowers costs so we can keep prices low. Thinking long term makes these choices very logical.
