	# - A `Thing` can be 1% - 100% green
	# - This is represented on the front end with a doughnut chart
	# - The doughnut chart can't be generated since it's in an email
	# - To get around this, we have 25 static doughnut images in increments of 4%

	# This code takes the percentage and returns the relevant image.

	# I'm sure there must be a more sensible way of doing this than using the
	# world's longest switch statement. Any ideas?
