摘要：	One of the best things I get to do at PCI is visit members at the region and chapter levels at the meetings being held around the country. It is a fantastic opportunity for me to hear from members about what is going on in their area and with their businesses in a smaller setting than at the PCI Convention or PCI Committee Days. It's also a chance for me to get feedback on PCI programs and how we can continue to find ways to provide value to our members. Carbon footprint and the impact of the built environment is increasingly something PCI members are being asked about. It is certainly front of mind for the next generation. At a recent meeting of the PCI Illinois/Wisconsin chapter, we were treated to just how important by a remarkable presentation by two Girl Scout troops from the Madison, Wis., area. Completely on their own, these remarkable young people chose concrete as the one area they felt could make the most difference to the environment. They learned what we already knew— that concrete is the most used material in the world after water—and that concrete creates significant carbon dioxide emissions, mostly through the production of cement.
