That is helpful. There are two ways to make anybody do anything, one of which is where it is in their best interest to do it, and a lot of people who are signed up to Dr. Connolly's organisation are in that space. The other is where it has been determined by law, regulations or a climate action plan, for instance, and local authorities all now have to develop their climate action plans. I acknowledge Dr. Connolly is saying we should let organisations do this themselves and go around the local authorities, but is there a route also through the local authorities if we were to develop regulations such that the authorities had to facilitate those working in the space, whether through a climate action plan or some other kinds of guidelines or regulations?
