Innovation happens fast and we may unaware of a material solution or process out there that you think we should be looking at to reduce our impact on this planet more than we are now.  We would always love to hear from you if this is the case and listen to your discovery.

If it’s something we end up moving forward with, then we’ll definitely give you the recognition and a pair of sunglasses for your contribution to our better business. Please contact us at [email protected].
