Plastic Water Contamination

A world study published yesterday (September, 5 2017) in The Guardian, shows an Orb Media sponsored world wide study, that reveals 94% of The United States water supply was contaminated, along with high contamination rates elsewhere in the world.

Plastic Microfibers : Delivery Vehicle for Dangerous Pathogens

Dr Anne Marie Mahon at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, who conducted the research, said

there were two principal concerns: very small plastic particles and the chemicals or pathogens that microplastics can harbour. “If the fibres are there, it is possible that the nanoparticles are there too that we can’t measure,” she said. “Once they are in the nanometre range they can really penetrate a cell and that means they can penetrate organs, and that would be worrying.”

The Orb analyses caught particles of more than 2.5 microns in size, 2,500 times larger than a nanometre.

The Guardian report fishes around to find the source of the contaminant, showing several indicators and tests that the atmosphere contains the fibers, and the only question in that is do they get there through water evaporation or how do they get there? The did conclusively find that the plastic fibers are in the air.

The Guradian’s Damian Carrington, Environmental Editor found a slew of reports and test by marine biologists showing how much of this stuff is coming up in sea water.

The High Contamination Levels in Centralized Water

Plastic is by far not the only contaminant fed to communities through centralized water systems. There are many contaminants found in city water supplies throughout the world. Some are interesting consistencies and the investigation into water is beyond a simple one, for someone looking to gain a profound understanding. Yet still, water is not the only potential delivery mechanism of this plastic micro fiber containment.

Nutritional Diversifists realizing their science is sister-ed by nature and uncontaminated edible material production, know that we need to cut down on plastic production in general, and first and foremost we need to address the contaminate in what we can address it in, such as our water, and in our bodies. This is exactly why deep inland mountain, forest, and jungle water and food sources are so valuable today. With the rising to 9 billion population and this type and size of usage and plastic production, we are riding a very dangerous line, we need to go back to living harmoniously with nature, and I mean yesterday.

Home Water filtration for purchase comes immediately to thought but most water filters according to the Guardian and other sources don’t catch these particular contaminants, nor fluoride or chlorine additives found in most city central distribution water systems.

[box type=”info”] Water contamination is becoming a bigger and bigger problem! It’s not just fluoride now, but plastic??!![/box]

Groundwater especially from mountains should remain a good source, and digging a spring is not hard, neither is building a sand filter, nor do they require a lot of tools or materials. This information however essential and important does not reside in the majority of minds, trying to keep of with their insane lives of the day.

According to the Guardian piece, every of the 24 retail beers they tested contained high amounts of the fibers. I have long thought that if Dasani, Coke, or Peter Pan Peanut Butter ever had an evil accident, the tole would be serious.

Your own permaculture family farm, would be the best way to have regular fresh food and filter water from these fibers as I doubt they would pass a large sized four stage sand, charcoal, filter or photosynthesis, or the banana’s, nor the coconut’s casing. These types of contamination’s make me think about durable foods, underground root foods, and water filtering and delivery systems for wildlife to have access to. Permacultures out side of the equator tropical zone may want to start looking into multistage water filtration systems immediately.

Geographical Factors

The other thing this type of contamination makes me thankful for; is being nine degrees from the equator right now here in The Republic of Panama.

Ten degrees out from the equator to the Northern and Southern Hemispheric weather activity returns, towards it’s pole We have seen this dependably in storm weather, the one that just left the Caribbean as I write this, is Hurricane Irma. This return includes it’s Northern or Southern Hemispheric contaminants.

Keep it in mind; that close to the equator, the Earth can restart if heavily contaminated (hopefully).

The contamination is not really going be deterred b y hot or cold places, these particles are going to accumulate and build up in every part of the world, and ultimately if it continues too long the biology here will not be able to digest or deal with this type of plastic contamination anywhere.

Water Contamination Solutions

Microplastics are also known to contain and absorb toxic chemicals and pathogens research on wild animals have shown these types of contaminants. Prof Richard Thompson, at Plymouth University, UK, told Orb: “It became clear very early on that the plastic would release those chemicals and that actually, the conditions in the gut would facilitate really quite rapid release.” His research has shown micro-plastics are found in a third of fish caught in the UK.

This pollution is a serious health threat, and we need water contamination solutions on the double.

While some have claimed that particular industries such as the the fabric material industries could be to blame in part, Patagonia, the clothing manufacturer did extensive research of their own, to find that clothing fibers do make up a large part of the contamination, also bottles and plastic bags. Patagonia as a company, has dedicated itself to making a non shedding garment, and found through it’s research that low quality material and garments shed more into the water stream. I know here in the islands, many washing machines also a source named Patagonia’s research, after thoughts to poor houses simply pump into the irrigation channels that empty into the water.

How to prevent this contamination at the home level, and how to rid the body of the contamination it has already received? Already we have seen many good filter options to at least prevent the consumption of more microfibers.

A crowdfunded idea, called a Guppy Bag is now available through Patagonia Clothing Company and the bag captures 99 percent of synthetic fibers in all of it’s tests. What I have done is a separate washer drain line that has a filter tank on it that can be emptied every six months. I would love to step it up into a hydroponic house plant growing medium for clear containers and explain to guests how easy it was to save the stuff from clogging up Mother Earth.

No doubt the contamination, makes for a incredible business opportunity, for inventors and services of cleanup. If a good cleanup movement is to be effective, it will need new innovative, professional entrepreneurs to conduct massive cleanup, and smart disposal operations.

Stop the Plastic Microfiber Pollution

Obviously the guaranteed solution to this issue, is to stop using plastic all together, to shut down the plastic plants, and give them a reasonable and profitable out by paying these experts what they were making as business, and employing them to the task of cleanup. We need to live in harmony with nature. Reforestation is the weapon in to fighting contamination.

100% cotton, linen, wool, hemp, garments, do not contaminate the environment with non-natural fibers. Re-usable shopping bags, made of cloth or even a new mushroom fiber fabric, and reusable water bottles would cut down plastic contamination by roughly one third. Simply make the switch and do your part. A micro fiber filter bag has been created to collect the fibers when washing clothes.

Clean the Body of Plastic Microfibers

Unfortunately I don’t have a specific thing to say here. I can theorize on a few cleanses, but for plastic microfibers to be accumulating in body tissues surely equates to disaster at some point.

The best thing remains to get a good water filter.

Clean the Sea of Plastic Micro Fibers

Here in Central America about a couple years ago. I got a ride one day from a cat running one of these turn plastic fibers in to clothes operations. I would have been happy waiting for the bus. I think the clothing concept would be a great one. Could it motivate a microfiber collection industry to clean the sea of microfibers? I would certainly buy products made from fiber pollutants cleaned from the sea.

Patagonia revamped to make a high quality shed-less garment after realizing plastic fiber contamination, which the clothing industry is partly responsible for.

What products could be derived (besides hydroponic growing medium) from these fibers? Could long running pumps installed at sea easily filter out fibers by the tons? Wouldn’t it be a great endeavor to create valuable products made from cleaning this caustic problem from the environment?

Several cool inventions have been created that can remove a lot of the big waster which eventually will break down into micro wastes.

Introduction to the “Realest World Revolution.”

The truest health initiative today is one that fosters a deep connection with nature. For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to a groundbreaking nutritional study across Central and South America. This work has transformed not only my own health but also the health of many others in both mental and physical performance. I have built strong relationships with farmers, and we now have over fifty farms where I am welcomed with open arms. These farms showcase a deep understanding of diverse, sustainable agriculture that I am proud to have helped foster.

In one-of-a-kind circumstances; I realized a unique experience, perspective, relation to nature, and spiritual progression awaiting me in a dedicated challenge of living more in the natural world and less in the world we know, waiting for me. For four obsessed years, I lived in several deep jungle locations and did in fact embark on a journey like no other.

My time living in the heart of the jungle for nearly four years allowed me to develop a profound bond with nature. It is this relationship that forms the backbone of my ability to quickly gather expert cultivators from multiple countries to teach, implement, and expand this revolutionary system on a global scale. We are currently working on proposals in Argentina, Panama, and Colombia (links below) to take these efforts further. Right now, we manage approximately 500,000 hectares, and we are also building a platform to share the wealth of nutritional knowledge we’ve gained, alongside advancing the sciences of sustainable farming.

Just to add line about who I am; an honorably served military man, real estate developer, once proud father (child lost), and ten year tropical farming and ecological specialist who loves fitness, being the man he once needed, a stellar teammate and an example to young people.

The reality is, among other deceptions and current beliefs, that modern agriculture provides devastating nutrition. These cultivations have devastating effects on all the life around them, and certainly on the lives consuming from them. We deserve better, and through our approach, we’ve developed systems that don’t just sustain life—they enhance it. Our agricultural models are not only a solution to individual health but also to the world’s ecological crisis, working from the ground up to improve life in a holistic manner.

These systems are proof of nature’s abundance. They enhance the entire environment, leading to a fully functioning ecosystem. This growth model provides us with the kind of nourishment we are supposed to have and agriculture that harmonizes with nature, not against it. I have witnessed firsthand how this approach can dramatically reduce healthcare costs and elevate performance, showing that nature’s model is infinitely sustainable.

This biological culture change can lead to incredible social, and conscious culture change in our beautiful world. It is a great way to show gratitude, appreciation, and understanding, so badly needed now. “This is the REAL REVOLUTION – nose to tail!”

With the right incentives and influential actions, we can shift the world towards this next level of ecological and nutritional balance. Imagine creating a global movement that champions the nourishment we are meant to receive from the earth, using the farming practices that support it. This could revolutionize the world of agriculture, creating a global system where prosperity, security, and freedom are built into the foundation of our food systems.

These agricultural sites are more than just farms—they can serve as healing centers, orphanages, or even rehabilitation spaces, bringing profound improvement to these areas. Our vision extends beyond nutrition, offering next-level health solutions and supplements that align with nature’s best practices. Explore our work and products as we strive to turn the tables on how we nourish both people and the planet.

These agriculture installations could be motivated and jointly educated using a website, and highly motivated cultivations can even use small groups of drones or offer work to the homeless — to apply more preparations such as outlined by Rudolph Steiners’ Biodynamic Agriculture lectures.!

THE TRUEST HEALTH INITIATIVE TODAY THAT CREATES RELATION TO NATURE

I have been working on a nutritional study across Central and South America, over the last decade and that has revolutionized my health and the health of many others in the realms of both mental and physical performance. We can go to fifty farms down here now, where I will be showered by hugs and you can hear about how I know this diverse farming at a high level.

I lived in the deep jungle for roughly 4 years and my relationship with nature is profound. I am able to assemble top expert cultivators from several countries quickly to train and administer a worldwide education, implementation, and incentivization operation at any time, and we work now also on new agriculture proposals in Argentina, Panama, and Colombia to do this on a grander scale than we are now (which is around a combined 500k hectares) as well as our own educational platform for the incredible nutritional information and the further evolution of the sciences.

Nutrition is currently slaughtered by modern agriculture and we deserve much better, and using a system of growth that does not kill everything around it, but instead enhances everything, and I mean everything around it, especially the lives our children. [homeless, corrections]. A new demand for better nutrition can revolutionize this world, and as Kissinger openly states “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control
the world,” so let us control our own food and be free of the evil spirits who seek to control us. This is the real revolution.

I have long had the plans to show a new agriculture, a natural enhancement, that attracts and optimizes natural growth and diversity by human assistance and have executed several small models, assisted many others, and known the entire time the potential that is far beyond what any of these have done so far [see my name in special thanks here and content in pages], and also how consumption improves recovery and performance.

The agricultural systems that have been successfully formulated (come here I will show them to you) to provide this diet are an answer to world ecological health from start to finish, or ‘nose to tail.’ See more about the diverse diet study here, or here.

An act like [even digital group facilitation of coordinated cultivation efforts, compost creation efforts, etc.] new culture creation, at scale is worthy of “carbon credits,” a currency currently used by large corporations and governments.
Healthcare costs were greatly reduced and the quality of performance greatly increased (500plus case study).
Nature is the best model of abundance and infinitely functioning systems, yet we use other lesser finite models, where larger segments of humanity can start to follow the ultimate model. “Pay attention to nature and understand everything better.” – Einstein. With the right influential moves, and incentives we could evolve into the entire world taking our ecology to the next level, and with it I have learned how to create incredibly diverse agriculture that leads to major prosperity, security, and freedom. Just think if we supported a new worldwide franchise on the nutrition we are supposed to get with the agriculture we are supposed to get it from- tables turned gentlemen.
These agriculture sites are perfect orphanages, healing centers, and even detention centers, and can propel much-needed betterment in these areas as well.

Overview

The agricultural systems we have successfully developed offer far more than just a sustainable diet—they are a transformative solution for global ecological health from start to finish. These systems embody a comprehensive, “nose-to-tail” approach, addressing everything from nutrient density to environmental regeneration, and they hold the potential to reshape our world in profound ways.

Imagine a world where coordinated cultivation efforts, composting, and new cultural frameworks at scale are not only the norm but are also recognized for their immense value. Initiatives like these are worthy of carbon credits, the environmental currency currently traded by corporations and governments to offset carbon emissions. However, the benefits extend far beyond carbon reduction.

1. Restoration of Ecosystems and Biodiversity
Our regenerative farming methods replenish the soil, restore plant and animal biodiversity, and reintroduce balance into ecosystems. This enhances the environment’s capacity to self-sustain, resulting in healthier natural habitats, cleaner air and water, and more resilient ecosystems capable of adapting to changing climates.

2. Reduction in Greenhouse Gases and Carbon Footprint
These systems act as carbon sinks, capturing carbon from the atmosphere through soil regeneration and crop diversity. This process reduces the carbon footprint of farming operations and contributes to the fight against global climate change. With widespread adoption, these agricultural methods could play a pivotal role in reversing environmental degradation.

3. Drastic Healthcare Cost Reductions
By focusing on nutrient-dense, organic crops that are grown in alignment with nature, this system fosters health from the ground up. Chronic diseases often linked to poor nutrition—such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity—could be dramatically reduced. The overall healthcare burden on society would decrease, saving billions in medical costs and improving the quality of life for countless individuals.

4. Enhanced Human Performance and Longevity
This holistic diet, rich in diverse nutrients, can dramatically improve both mental and physical performance. From enhanced cognitive function to greater physical stamina, the human body thrives when properly nourished. In the long term, individuals following this nutritional model will experience increased longevity and higher quality of life.

5. Water Conservation and Resource Efficiency
Water scarcity is one of the pressing global issues of our time. These agricultural systems use water-efficient technologies and natural irrigation methods, which significantly reduce water consumption compared to conventional farming. This not only conserves a critical resource but also ensures that farming remains sustainable in regions where water access is limited.

6. Economic Stability and Local Empowerment
By promoting local, sustainable agriculture, we empower farmers and small communities to become economically self-sufficient. This model creates jobs, strengthens local economies, and protects against the volatility of global supply chains. By keeping production local, we also reduce transportation-related emissions and costs, making the system more environmentally and financially efficient.

7. Global Education and Knowledge Transfer
Our agricultural sites can serve as education hubs, training the next generation of farmers in sustainable practices. This not only preserves knowledge but also disseminates it globally, allowing communities everywhere to replicate the success of these models. This knowledge-sharing creates a ripple effect, driving sustainable agriculture on a global scale.

8. Food Security and Community Resilience
Through locally produced, nutrient-rich food systems, communities can reduce their dependence on industrial agriculture and imports. This strengthens food security, making regions less vulnerable to disruptions in global supply chains, market fluctuations, and geopolitical instability. It ensures that people have access to healthy food no matter the external circumstances.

9. Global Franchise for Sustainable Agriculture
The potential for scaling this model into a global franchise is immense. By supporting a worldwide movement that delivers the nutrition we deserve, produced by the agricultural systems meant to deliver it, we could revolutionize global food production. This shift would not only improve human health but would also transform how we interact with our planet.

10. Orphanages, Healing Centers, and Rehabilitation Facilities
Our agriculture sites have the potential to be more than just farms. With their healing, regenerative qualities, they can serve as centers for social impact—places where orphaned children, individuals in need of recovery, and even those in detention can experience growth and healing. These spaces can nurture both body and spirit, fostering environments that contribute to personal development and societal betterment.

11. Carbon Credits and Financial Incentives
The ecological benefits of these agricultural systems are quantifiable, which means they could qualify for carbon credits—an increasingly valuable commodity in today’s world. Large corporations and governments are willing to invest in projects that sequester carbon and improve the environment. This creates a financial incentive for widespread adoption of regenerative agriculture, making it profitable for farmers and landowners.

12. Cultural Shifts Towards Sustainability
By integrating these agricultural practices into daily life, we can drive cultural shifts toward sustainability and environmental stewardship. These systems show that abundance and regeneration are possible, leading to a new worldview where humanity is part of a thriving, interconnected ecosystem. This shift is not just about farming—it’s about redefining our relationship with the planet.

13. Rebuilding Ecosystems as Global Climate Solutions
Our efforts are part of a larger global solution. Through reforesting degraded lands, rehabilitating soils, and implementing biodiversity-enhancing practices, these agricultural sites contribute to the broader mission of climate resilience. They offer a real, actionable solution for rebuilding ecosystems, reducing emissions, and mitigating the effects of climate change.

14. Supplements for Next-Level Health
Finally, by harnessing the nutrient-rich foods produced in these systems, we are developing cutting-edge health supplements designed to support human performance and longevity. These supplements are derived from nature, offering a true alignment with the body’s natural processes and needs, taking health to the next level.

With these agricultural systems, we have the power to reshape the future—creating not just sustainable food production, but a thriving, interconnected system of human and environmental health. These farms and ecosystems are more than just sources of food; they are foundations for a better world, grounded in balance, abundance, and resilience.

Attack Plan

These are just some of the potentials for example; if we were able to inspire 10k, applications like ours which by the way are evolved models, from the Rudolf Steiner reference [x].

This multiphased initiative aims to ignite widespread adoption of Rudolf Steiner’s Biodynamic Agriculture principles across multiple regions by leveraging modern technology, cultural initiatives, and marginalized communities. Phase one begins with developing a user-friendly phone app that serves as a hub for education, communication, and coordination. The app will teach biodynamic methods, allow users to track progress, and provide resources for setting up sustainable farming systems. Media campaigns, documentaries, and influencers will promote the initiative, spreading awareness about the importance of regenerative agriculture. Drones will be deployed to assist with planting, monitoring, and improving efficiency in larger-scale operations.

Phase two involves integrating this agricultural model into homeless outreach programs, correctional facilities, and war-impacted regions, offering marginalized populations a chance to learn valuable skills, heal, and contribute to society. These communities can actively participate in the cultivation and maintenance of biodynamic farms, providing them with meaningful work while enhancing food security and sustainability in their areas. Governments and NGOs will be encouraged to adopt and fund these initiatives as part of their rehabilitation and job creation programs, giving vulnerable populations new opportunities.

Phase three expands the initiative on a global scale by partnering with governments, international agencies, and war-affected groups. By transforming conflict-ridden areas and underutilized lands into thriving biodynamic farms, we can increase agricultural production and restore ecological balance. This approach not only rehabilitates damaged ecosystems but also helps rebuild war-torn societies, fostering peace and stability. As the network of biodynamic farms grows, the initiative will create a global movement toward more sustainable and regenerative food systems, proving that nature-driven agriculture can heal both people and the planet.

Effects

These are just some of the effects if say for example we were able to inspire 10k, applications like ours which by the way are evolved models, from the Rudolf Steiner reference above [x].

If we were able to successfully launch 10,000 small-scale applications of Rudolf Steiner’s Biodynamic Agriculture worldwide, the effects would be transformative on multiple levels—environmental, social, economic, and spiritual.

Environmental Regeneration: Biodynamic agriculture focuses on holistic, regenerative practices that improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and enhance ecosystems. With 10,000 small farms adopting these methods, we would see widespread soil restoration, carbon sequestration, and improved water retention across the globe. This would contribute significantly to combating climate change, revitalizing degraded land, and reducing the ecological footprint of industrial farming. The collective impact of these farms would also create microclimates that support local flora and fauna, restoring natural habitats and enhancing the earth’s resilience.

Social and Cultural Shifts: Introducing Steiner’s principles through an app could create a global movement toward more conscious, community-driven farming. Each of these farms would serve as local hubs of education and sustainability, promoting a deep reconnection between people and nature. These hubs would foster communities around shared values of environmental stewardship, promoting healthier, more sustainable lifestyles. As people experience the tangible benefits of these practices, we would see cultural shifts toward greater ecological awareness, healthier diets, and deeper spiritual connection with the land. Marginalized groups, such as homeless populations and those in correctional facilities, could also find purpose and healing through active participation, creating paths to rehabilitation and social reintegration.

Economic and Food Security: The economic impact would be profound. By distributing food production across thousands of small, biodynamically managed farms, local food systems would be strengthened, reducing dependency on industrialized agriculture and global supply chains. This decentralization would enhance food security, particularly in regions vulnerable to disruptions, and help stabilize food prices. Additionally, these farms could foster new economic opportunities, providing jobs, promoting fair trade, and supporting local economies through the sale of biodynamic produce. Over time, the collective output of these 10,000 farms could supply diverse, nutrient-rich foods to millions, improving public health and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.
