Promoting Professionalism in Composting

The Triple Bottom Line: Genuine Social and Environmental Responsibility, Sustainability

clock January 30, 2010 16:25 by author John

 

Enlightened, visionary people recognize that our long term health and prosperity depends on our being socially and environmentally responsible in everything we do. In business, it is also the key to long term profitability.

Too many businesses and people have been putting short term monetary profit as their top priority, failing to recognize that any negative impacts on society and/or our environment will, in the long run, will cost us dearly.

Growing healthy, nutrient dense foods, requires that we become stewards of the soil.  Compost is a great way to restore health to the soil, both organic matter, and a diverse array of microbes that build "The Soil Food Web", the tiny critters, many microscopic, that cycle nutrients for the plants, and provide natural pest and disease suppression.

We’re working toward a new regional food composting facility that is designed to divert over 1,000 tons per day that is currently going to incinerators and landfills, and we’ll turn it into MagicbioSoil, premium compost that will restore life, health to the soil. Clearly, our success will be the result of our commitment to society and our environment. We’re talking about building a concrete composting pad, with aeration veins built into the concrete pad, all under roof, utilizing our Dynamic Bio-Filter technology for eliminating all foul odors. We’ve also got many other technological advantages that we’ve developed through over 10 years of hands-on research; that are critically important to success. While this requires significant capital, it can also be financially sustainable, providing a reasonable Return on Investment.

Repeatedly, putting the priority on providing benefits to society and our environment is the heart of long term success. Putting the primary focus on monetary profits without the primary focus on society and our environment, is sabotage, and unsustainable. Cutting cost is often like cutting their throat.

We’re looking for visionary investors who recognize the wisdom of investing in regional infrastructure, that is dedicated to providing massive benefits to society and our environment. Together we can provide massive value to society and our environment, and in the process, earn a nice ROI,

What is "Magic" about Magic Soil, and how does soil health affect our health?

clock January 30, 2010 00:07 by author John

What is "Magic" about Soil? Really healthy soil is an awesome and facinating micro-environment with billions of micro-organisms in every handful. IN healthy soil, these micro-organisms cycle nutrients and provide natural disease suppression for the plants. Because so much of the micro-organisms are far to small to see without a microscope, many people don’t appreciate this amazing environment.

Plants simply thrive in MagicbioSoil

MagicbioSoil is a trade name that we give to the compost that we make, mostly from food scraps.

Many people have never given any thought to the importance of the health of the soil, or to how the soil health affects the health of the plants, and our health.

I believe that we will be healthier when we re-connect with the soil, become far more aware of soil, have a reverence for the earthworms and much smaller critters that make up the soil food web. See the Soil Food Web chart below.

Having an organic vegetable garden, connecting with the soil, can be an extremely rewarding affect on our whole being, joy, reconnecting with Mother Earth, with nature. It can be even more powerful if shared with family and friends, a ‘community’ creating synergy with nature, with the soil

ALL Animal Health depends on Soil Health.

The current chaos in health care has three rather obvious roots:

  • The body’s immune system is not working up to the challenge because it hasn’t been getting the proper nutrition, essential enzymes, etc.
  • The body’s detoxifying system is overloaded, with a massive toxic burden in the liver, so the liver cannot detoxify the rest of the body, and perform all the other wonderful functions that nature designed the liver to be able to perform. The good news is that getting the toxins out of the liver is quiet simple, inexpensive, and even a pleasant process.
  • Beliefs: We’ve been, and continue to be bombarded with propaganda and much of it is hazardous to our health. We’ve got to learn to think for ourselves, use ‘common sense’.

I would like your feedback, your thoughts about what you would like to know more about in the realm of health, nutrition and improving the soil.

Let's Co-Create abundance for all and a sustainable environment

clock January 29, 2010 01:00 by author John

There’s a growing consciousness of the need for businesses to be more socially and environmentally responsible, what is called The Triple Bottom Line, people, planet & profit; Society, our environment and profit.

Let’s Co-Create, rather than ‘compete’. Together we can create abundance for all and a sustainable environment.

Caring for people and our environment has as much potential as acorns which can grow into mighty Oak Trees.

Let’s evolve beyond using fear, beyond trying to dominate or control others. Let’s co-create with the goal of creating abundance and health for all. Let’s become a synergistic team. Let’s promote peace. Clearly war is not sustainable. Let’s be love and kindness, promoting peace. Let’s experience the joy of caring, of encouraging and empowering others.

Making monetary profit the almighty ‘god’, with little or no regard for the impact on society and our environment has led to major health and environmental problems, and also wars, fear, terror. It’s led to our peril, and it’s time for us to work together to turn it around.

Does money, the accumulation of "Things" and "power over others" really satisfy people? Force is no substitute for having people respect you as a real leader who really cares about the well being, health and happiness of everyone on the team.

I hope you know the joy that comes from encouraging and empowering others, and playing as a team, sharing in the rewards of creating team synergy. And if you don’t, you might start asking yourself what you can do to lead, to build a synergistic team, earning the respect of the others on the team for your leadership, your caring for the members of the team as fellow human beings.

I am guessing there are a lot of people with serious health challenges, sometimes life threatening, like terminal cancer, who finally realize that health and happiness are more valuable than money and things.

Speaking for myself, I get my greatest joy when I help people, when I learn a new skill or insight, and when I do something that I know is good for the environment. I was a volunteer in emergency services for 26 years, fire and ambulance, not for the partying, but rather to be part of the community, to help others in their time of need.

I’d like your feedback. How would you like to be supported, encouraged?

Rebuilding our Economy, and Soil Health, so the soil can yield nutrient rich food for us

clock January 28, 2010 18:10 by author John

Our health, our survival, depends on our rebuilding the health of our soil, so the soil can yield healthy plants, nutrient rich food for us.   All animal health, including human beings, depends on the health of the soil.

While industrialized agriculture has been killing our soil with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, so the crops are grossly lacking in the nutritional value that our bodies need to maintain vibrant health.  In Contrast, organic farmers practice soil stewardship. 

We're proposing to build a new state of the art food composting facility to serve the lower Hudson River Valley region of New York State, to divert Source Separated food residuals that are currently going to incinerators and distant landfills.  We're talking about composting on a concrete pad, under roof, making the facility "zero run-off", protecting ground water.    We're talking about an elaborate aeration system with aeration veins built into the concrete pad, and our Dynamic Bio-Filter technology for eliminating any foul odors from within the composting system. 

This facility will be vital regional infrastructure, and a great totally Green investment opportunity.  We'll be solving a significant part of the 'waste' problem, while also significantly improving soil quality.  We'll be creating jobs, and enabling haulers to save significant money in tipping fees.  Everyone will win.  We'll be moving toward a much more sustainable environment for all of us.

Rebuilding our Economy & Restoring Environmental Sanity

clock January 28, 2010 17:44 by author John

It's time to invest in Green regional infrastructure that will conserve our resources, create good paying jobs, and restore the health of our soil, while saving money on 'disposing' of source separated food waste.

Sending food waste to incinerators and landfills is NOT sustainable. 

It's time for people to put their investment dollars in sustainable environmental infrastructure, investing in our future.  

The first facility is planned to serve the Lower Hudson River Valley Region.  For more information, click here.
