Hey.
2:28:07
It's it's alright.
2:28:08
My name is Yvonne.
2:28:09
I'm just a regular regular, citizen.
2:28:13
I came to New York 2 years ago, and I'm just a testament as to what all of you guys are doing.
2:28:19
I just want to commend you.
2:28:20
I know everybody is trying to incorporate everything together, but I think you're on the the right path.
2:28:26
There was a young lady who spoke about going against, the the the testimony, I believe.
2:28:34
And I can see why she is coming from because, one thing that I would say that could be beneficial is, because I started with the composting program, and I got a opportunity to go through the community gardens, go through the different composting sites.
2:28:49
And it was beneficial because I gained community, and I gained a lot about, New York and the sun about New York.
2:28:55
And I think these people that's, in the micro settings are people that you'll probably need to target because they can tell you exactly, you know, how we can make all of this beneficial for everybody on a on a grander scale.
2:29:08
So it's just on a micro label that needs to be addressed on my from my opinion.
2:29:14
But I'm happy that everybody is on the same page, using a piece of different you know, a different page where we're trying to do the same both, basically.
2:29:22
So, it's been an honor hearing all the beautiful things, and I would love to be a part of something to help with the process.
2:29:30
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
