Nerd Alert...

Ok so I realize that getting excited about the following situation makes me a complete nerd. I don't care.

In LA261 we're working on a very sizeable project about site analysis and selection. I'm to do research to figure out the requirements a site must have to accomodate a recycling center (size, ideal soil type, location, slope, context, etc).

In my research I ran across a town in England that is currently in the process of building a new recycling center. They're at the point where they know where they want to put it and they're running everything by the public via campaigns and public meetings to get approval. So I emailed them and asked if they'd be willing to provide documents and such about the process they're involved in. Minutes from said meetings, charts, analysis reports, whatever, so I can get an idea of what is really involved in this stuff.

Believe it or not, they got back to me within 12 hours. Not only that, but the answer was positive. They want to help me and I'm expecting info to be coming on Monday.

Three cheers for having the best source ever for a research project! Woot!
