COP21 StLouis Climate March at the Arch

Here are my 10 biggest takeaways from the #OursToLose Climate March at the Arch in StLouis. In which I was proud participant in last Sunday at the Arch.

I'm headed to the Climate March at the Arch! #OursToLose #Stlouis

— Scotty (@StLHandyMan) November 29, 2015

The gathering of like minded individuals was an eye opening experience for me to say the least.

#OursToLose Climate March at the Arch in StLouis

I learned in the brief correspondence while talking to the other participants that:

1. There were as many older generations ages- 50 plus, as younger generations of less than 30 years old- that care about the health of our Planet and Pollution that is causing world wide climate change from the business as usual approach of the Big Business Polluting Machines 
   
2. The participants were interested and knowledgeable to the importance of Energy Conservation as well as generating True Clean Energy. 
   
3. Climate March #OursToLose StLouis Participants are not happy with the local activities of the Dirty Coal Machine Ameren UE.  
   
4. Some of the local Solar Installation Companies in StLouis are not adequately trained in the proper ways of installing Solar Racking on challenging roofs. 
   
5. Pointing our finger at other countries such as China who is a big polluter, does not help at the Local Level.  I firmly believe that society as a whole needs to: Chop Wood and Carry Water- mankind must not point to another country without taking care of business at home. 
   
6. It was great to see a #BlackLivesMatter supporter at the march!  Climate Change affects everyone regardless of Race, Creed, or Community Status- we are all in this together. 
   
7. People that live around the Labadie Dirty Coal Plant are worried about their Personal and Families Health from the Pollution via the noted 4th Dirtiest Coal Plant in the Entire USA.
   
8. The boundary line between my activities and what I'm doing needs to be broken in relation to networking with other clean energy and energy conservation promoters and businesses in the St Louis region.  We are all in this together and their is plenty of work and buildings in the StLouis region for everyone.  I personally need to extend the Olive Branch to others in the region to lend my support for their activities as well as letting them know of what I am working on.  I believe in action over inaction and start by listing the information from 2 of the companies working in the area right here that were also proud participants at the #COP21 #OursToLose StLouis Climate March.  Please check out their websites and to give them a call: Aaron Michel Energy Resources Group, inc and Brian Ettling Climate Change Communicator 
   
9. You will meet some of the nicest people at Social Gatherings and as it was pointed out you can even find love and meet the person of your dreams! 
   
10. I believe to put up or shut up.  And to prove this I will be offering rock bottom prices on any energy conservation activities I will be doing for my StLouis neighbors.  I am going to cut the prices of any and all activities for the remainder of the 2015.  I'm sure this will make the bookkeeper cringe but I will offer a 50% labor discount on any and all green building projects that I bid on for the remainder of the year.

We can build a green St Louis- Join Me in making the world and our region a better place for all.

MOhemp Energy: Wanted StLouis Grad Student Paper Study

On the advice of a Florida Hemp Business that I have been in contact with about theremediation of the nuclear waste at the Bridgeton Landfill that is causing adverse health issues to the people living and working in the area. 

It was suggested to find a St Louis Grad Student that would take on this enormous task of writing a paper and or conducting a study on the possible ways to remediate the affected areas of the Manhattan Projects Nuclear Waste.

Here are 2 email replies I've received recently and what has prompted me to send this request to the World.

I've been following whats going on I believe I have a possible solution to removing the radiation.  I have contacted a few of the greater minds who have been using Hemp for many things and have been getting a little feedback here is 2 of the latest emails.

1. As it grows, hemp absorbs heavy metals including radioactive ones and pushes them into its leaves.  If you run a harvester over the plant tops, you can collect the leaves and sequester them.  You will have a large volume of material which must be dried to reduce the volume.  Then it must be bagged/baled for disposal.  I recommend a metal smelter for that.  For this work, the hemp need not grow longer than 75 days and you might get two crops a year.  Winter hemp has been done, but it is dormant in the winter.  Hard freeze kills hemp.
   The stalks might not be very contaminated and might be suitable for animal bedding or hempcrete so you might get something to pay for the work.  It must be studied to be sure.
   Any coal-fired power plant produces radioactive fly-ash so it may be possible to send material there.  Fly-ash containment ponds are radioactive, probably no more so than your leaves.
   Hemp is being used in this way at Chernobyl to remove radioactive Cesium from the topsoil.  Fukushima is said to be studying the method for their solution too.  Notice that both of these are dealing with surface pollution, not buried pollution.  The method could remove any toxins or heavy metals.
   Hemp roots go down 2 feet, sometimes as much as 8 feet.  Below that level, I doubt the method would help.  You would have to study the root depth in your cultivar and soils.
   Paul Stamets is a noted mycobiologist (studies mushrooms).  His book, “Mycelium Running” available on Amazon describes in chapter 7 “Mycoremediation” how mushrooms do much the same thing so you might combine the two methods.  Use hemp to draw it up and use mushrooms to consolidate it from the dried leaf material.
   Paul’s book also describes Mycofiltration in Chapter 5 where he cleaned up a stream runoff, but that was manure.
   It depends on  how deep your material is, but you could concentrate on some water run-off from the land-fill or leachate pumped to a bed of hemp core bedding and mushrooms.
   I am sure some graduate student would love to do that project.
   The Federal Farm Bill of 2014 only allows “research farming” of hemp, but this is clearly a research project of many years’ duration.  I suggest you work with your department of agriculture and its research stations.  Sounds like the feds should pay for it anyway.
   This BTW, is a serious problem at Federal labs at Hanford, Oak Ridge and South Carolina so you might find some help there.
   Good luck in your efforts.

1. Thank you for reaching out. You are definitely on the right path as hemp has so many benefits. Growing Industrial hemp does help purify the earth it’s grown in.
