StLouis Environmental Startup Proposes Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil

Have you heard about the natural solution to the problem of the nuclear radiation at Bridgeton Landfill?  MOhemp Energy is proposing to utilize Industrial Hemp for Income and to remediate the toxic soil at the Landfill.

Wiki defines Phytoremediation: Phytoremediation (from Ancient Greek φυτο (phyto), meaning "plant", and Latin remedium, meaning "restoring balance") describes the treatment of environmental problems (bioremediation) through the use ofplants that mitigate the environmental problem without the need to excavate the contaminant material and dispose of it elsewhere.

• Phytoremediation is a cost-effective plant-based approach to remediation that takes advantage of the ability of plants to concentrate elements and compounds from the environment and to metabolize various molecules in their tissues  

• Toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants are the major targets for phytoremediation. 

• Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms of phytoremediation began to emerge in recent years together with biological and engineering strategies designed to optimize and improve phytoremediation. 

• In addition, several field trials confirmed the feasibility of using plants for environmental cleanup.^[1]

MOhemp Energy goes on to show how phytoremediation is a low cost alternative in dealing with nuclear radiation from nuclear waste as well as other heavy metal compounds.

Hemp for Income and Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste in Bridgeton Missouri and the Cold Water Creek area of the St. Louis Region 

is  a viable and financially proven way to remove the heavy metal toxins from the soil at Bridgeton Landfill and Coldwater creek areas of the StLouis Region.

A startup that wants to help the people while helping the environment- a perfect match.

Just recently the startup caught the attention of the Cleantech Open Challenge- 

MOhemp Energy Scientific Crowdfunding Update-IdeaScale-Cleantech Open,  While promoting the Idea Scale submission of Hemp for Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste + sustainable insulation 

I was contacted via a Google Plus post and it was suggested that I should also submit the information to the 

CleanTech Open that boasts -who finds, funds, the most innovative cleantech startups on the Planet.

We do! RT @StLHandyMan: @cleantechopen boasts -"finds, funds, the most innovative #cleantech #startups on the Planet"

It was also stated that the boostrap-startup was a profitable venture with a profitable ROI of 5 years or less.
