In 2008, our environmental operating expenditures were $170 million.

• $5 million on air pollution control equipment to reduce dust emissions and to burn cleaner fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• $1 million to either reduce solid waste generation or allow more solid waste to be recycled.
• $3 million on miscellaneous environmental projects.
