That is an excellent point. Two things were happening there. People were walking the feet off themselves during those two lockdowns and probably walking in beauty spots to which they had never been and were noticing these things. We also had those great summers during which people were flocking to the beaches. That obviously caused an issue. At least there was a response to that. We have not spoken about international examples. Are there one or two good international examples in which they have legislated for a circular economy and it has successfully led to a reduction in waste?
