Day to day we interact with bioremediaton more and more to survive. We have gotten to the point where we need to filter or clean our air, water and soil in our daily doings otherwise it may make us sick. Even ancient civilizations practiced some kind of beneficial succession of their water, air and soil to sustain their people. Now that we are scientifically much more advanced at polluting our natural resources we have also become disconnected from these processes that meet our needs. We must learn to be similarly as innovative at designing scientific systems that will have the by-product of beneficial succession. We can tie the 2 desires if we make bioremediation part of the intention. Public Space and commons are a good place to tie in bioremediation.

At this meeting we will hear from everyone and then puzzle people together. Weaving our overlaps and connecting our projects into a larger vision. We have index cards for participants information and to self organize. We will shuffle these cards around like puzzle pieces on a big table. People can connect 8:30-9. Report back next month :)

THE MoS BENEFICIAL MUD BALL BENEFICIAL BALL
A Bioremediation Celebration! End of May or Sunday June 1, a week or so before Figment.

MoS hopes to have the same great participants we have had in the past, plus new. A bioremediation celebration! With mud ball making (for our Figment Stockpile), oyster eating and reef building (add to oyster-shell pile-up in the East River), EM-1, bokashi, procession dancing in mud ball gowns, food by Naoko’s Vegan Baking, BobWhite’s, beer from Jimmy’s No 43, even self bioremediation, music by local children, a treehouse concert to join, and and and more. Add your succession at Community Garden El Jardin Del Paraiso, a bioremediation project by Paul Mankiewicz of Gaia Institute and now a permaculture minded oasis.

Excited to help organize the Ball is Uma Lo, of Green Phoenix Permaculture, who has been a back bone for many large permaculture events on the East Coast and Smiling Hogshead Ranch, a bioremediation growing site.

Can we live in fun decadence without ruining our air, water and soil? And maybe actually make it better? Imagine that.

Contact us: Musicians, organizers, outreach (pr), foodies, mud ball costumes, procession dancers and jettisonizers (throwers of oyster shells, makers of mud balls, seed bombs). Mud Ball Ball volunteer lead coordinators receive admission, eats, drink compliments, possibly a night sail and more. We will dedicate our oyster toss to Pete Seeger and possible have commemorative twilight toast on the water. It’s all up to whoever participates.

The Masters Of Succession
Intraconnected people creating beneficial succession of air, water and soil.

“Succession” not of royalty but instead “succession” of quality of life, healthier air, water and soil as a by-product of good design.
