Introducing The Mud Ball, a silent microbial dancer and advocate of symbiosis. It seemingly just sits there. However, it can teach us about human habits and patterns internal and external. It can teach us how we mimic natural microbial symbiotic systems. This giant mobile Mud Ball is an educator and happiness provider.

MoS Town Hall Meeting: #3 in a meeting series: Bioremedation + Public Space. Thursday, Feb 6, 2014, 6:15 pm
Jimmy's No 43 East 7th St Back-room. Find supportive links for your projects and visions in ’14. (Stay for hobnobbing at the bar after 9). 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 the commons is a good place to tie in this bioremediation.

FFW Questions: "I now have several buckets of FFW [fermented food waste] and lots of questions. 1. Do any of you know of a compost place that would welcome some FFW to feed their worms? and maybe even on the other side give me back some FFW-fed worm compost? 2. If I find some barren soil and bury my FFW there, do I mix the FFW into the soil when I reclaim the FFW-treated soil? 3. Can you send me to a good website so I can learn more? - Grateful & eager, Maureen"
