Bioremediating Biosphere Technologies

For The Hpmmmmm Series

MOS LABS

The Tools for the MoS Harbor Phyto Micro Myco Moss Mollusk & Me Estuary Series (Hpmmmmm: p is silent) are listed below.
We constantly research, develop, practice aand refine as we can grow.

We offer The MoS Bioremediating Biosphere kits to teach this positive inspiring connection to our environment. We can heal our local streams, estuaries and denuded landscapes. One need not wait for the EPA or private business to clean up common land or water. These technologies are affordable. Definitely work with experts and local entities. MoS can put you in touch with them.

MoS works with biologists, ecologists, hydrologists and engineers to continuously learn more about the NYC watershed, CSO’s, storms, droughts and toxic inputs to our waterways. MoS works with bioremediating materials. We build creative client projects, catalyze citizen scientists. Participants feel more connected & in service of themselves and the ecosystem instead of being further perpetrators of a depleted ecosystem that we have grown to accept.

For healing we use food: for example healthy microorganisms fermented in … dirt as one system technology: (dominant food based LactoBacillus, yeast, phototrophic microorganisms). They restore our bodies and restore the soil, water and sediment. EM-1 as the active ingredient to Mud Balls. The EM-1 is a microbial inoculate, fertilizer that starts the process of restoring and remediating toxins in waterway sediment & water. EMROjapan.com

MoS’s instigator, DD, has taught this in many places including at Parsons, NYU, New Museum, Figment annually, Swale, City of Water Day .. dozens of locations.

MoS’s teacher is Shig Matsukawa. Other MoS participants teach too.

Collaborations & Partnerships welcome!

MoS Collective artists, scientists, educators use and teach the MoS series of Bioremediating Biospheres.

We offer tactile interactive course for citizen participation. Kids and adults measure the on-going results with the scientist consultants.

We teach how to make a variety of spheres made of materials, like beneficial microbes solution, mycelium, moss, saw dust, dirt, straw, clay. Empowering & effective.

Culmination is the participants design a remediation plan for a section their estuary.

We service

– school or after school
– site specific or inside
– groups and business
– event give-aways
– with eco tourists: a photo op that also cleans water, air and soil.
– as rite of passage events: celebrations throw balls and make a wish. Place/throw a ball with an intention, wish, or as a memorial.

Whatever you can image we will entertain.

Our Mission

Offer an experience of natural systems at work. Participants learn to think systems and relationships. Nature inspires our design and helps us clean up our toxic damaged ecosystem we have inherited. In the future we will protect our commons and restore the estuaries with a combination of engineering, science, lifestyles, citizen action, schools, cultural organizations, public private support.

We partner with institutions to measure our results. Moreover, we teach people about their connection to the natural systems of our body and earth’s body. Our mission is to educate the future collaborators of earth. The designers will incorporate whole systems responsible thinking in everything they do. Earth care, people care & share:distribute the excess.

The Goal

Educate, learn, harness and design how to assist expedite healing the polluted ecosystem around us.
Learn ways to mitigate the causes.

Offer embodied activities.

Share knowledge.

Make our places beautiful.

We can heal it like we would ourselves.

Make and distribute biospheres, remediators. Connect to the watershed, a vibrant estuary. Experience together.
Ripple the information.

The organic hand-made spheres are fun citizen science initiatives.

Move beyond our backyards and neighborhood gardens into heating the polluted commons.

Protect and revitalize our commons.

We are in contact with with many parks and waterfront directors. There is much interest in educational workshops with these bio technologies.

Products & Services

Bioremediating Biospheres

• Purchase Workshop series, any part of it, in any order.
• Purchase loads of homemade MoS biospheres
• Purchase Activity Kits

These Biospheres leave better trace: they leave behind a variety of moss, seeds, spores, and beneficial microbes that clean the stink and toxins as well as activate the space and beautify our landscapes. The residue washes goodness into the ground, sewers and out to the watershed.

BioSphere Kits

The Harbor Phyto Micro Myco Moss Mollusk & Me Program

1. Mud Balls

Micro-remediation

A small contingent of us have been teaching kids and adults about the probiotics and making mud balls. We throw balls every year at Figment on Gov island. We made them one year for City Of Water day, Water festivals, waterfront festivals, big events, — all go went over very well with the kids and adults.

EM-1 mud balls which have been around decades but did not reach international acclaim until 7 years ago. Now there is a successful global movement using these mud balls to clean up waterways and bays. Each ball has food based dominant lacto bacillus, yeast and phototrophic probiotics that eat the waste in the water. Taught to us by Shig Matsukawa.

• Purchase Mud Ball Kit or mud balls made at MoS Labs.

2. Seed Balls

Phyto-remediation

Seed balls these can be made in many varieties such as coastal, pollinator, Pharmaseed by seedball.us, varieties designed and developed by Anne Apparu-Hall & Ted Hall.

• Purchase Kit or Seed Balls made at MoS Labs

Seedball.us has a game challenge

3. Fungi Spheres

Myco-remediation

Fungi-Spheres to bioremediate the soil. We work with mycelium, place it in organic ball container to place in the landscape. Gil Lopez invented this at the Mud Ball Ball ’14 using mycelium inside of Ann Lee’s designed Super Egg Balls which are made of egg cartons.

• Purchase Kit or Fungi-Sphere’s made at MoS Labs

4. Moss Balls & Paint

Moss balls placed strategically for growing in moist micro climates. Paint it on walls. (This needs to be sprayed or in a very humid area.)

Bladderwrack Kelp reduces acidification and sequesters CO2 like all algae. It’s also a super food. Great for soil and ourselves.

• Purchase Kit or paint slurry made at MoSLabs

5. Oyster Eating & Oyster Balls

1. Bioremediating Oyster Balls are clumps of baby oysters or mussel spat that can be installed in rocky shore locations. Learn about oyster remediation and with programs restoring the oyster populations or start your own program.

2. We eat oysters, learn, save their shells to give to Earth Matter or a local oyster reef restoration program.
Inspired by Paul Mankiewicz, PhD who taught us in ’11 that 10k oyster shells are enough to attract oysters for an oyster reef. Billion Oyster Project Collects spent shells from oyster bars. They cures them at Earth Matter before they go back into the water to attract live oysters.

• Purchase oysters with kit made at MoSLabs

Start your own collection project in your neighborhood.

6. Estuary Restoration Plan

Research, design and prepare a project presentation for the class.
