How do we get surplus food going into bellies rather than into landfill and decomposing to become greenhouse gas? And so an individual, uh, takes on a, "I think I have an idea," right? And then other people are brought into that, and then that whole film becomes, like, an model for taking to other places in Canada and going, what...
