When I observeal l1aG i-elatioaaship d~ete~vrs l~Is.l3oll and tc~e l tsncifill contractors., I have doubts that tai
much real research is being done to help establish recycling businesses. Yt se~;t~,zs that she, or hEr s4a~f,
sheattid have investigated the tvvo preser~t~~ to detetlninc if they ~t+®uld fiuzd tpaes $6 nnillaon dollar sorting
pla~sit. 'Yet, it •was obvi®us t® all that slZe did not rornranunica~e enoasgh with them to have this
it^.fOt?t<3t9n?t, which vuas presented ro us all. when ~e f c~unalntera say "they're riot in the business of.
doing rersearch," just snaking polil~r, they awed to talcs notice:-that those whose jol~ it i5 to do the research
are not doizig the groper job.
