Arizona Legislature Considers Stuffing Used Tires into Abandoned Mines

Money to Burn

Given the state of the economy, you’d think they’d be pinching every penny but it appears that the State of Arizona has money to burn – perhaps literally. Last week the House voted in favor of a bill that would use old tires to fill abandoned mines. The bill’s supporters cite the growing problem of used tire dumps, but apparently, they don’t keep up with the latest business news. 

Magnum D’Or and InfoSpi are just two of the rapidly growing number of companies that see the potential for recycling those tire dumps into real money – and creating more green jobs to boot.

Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...

Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content A holistic look at Earth's chemical cycling sheds light on how the planet stays habitable. Experience & Engagement A holistic approach to erosion control involves integrating various strategies that work together to prevent soil loss and coalesce ecological balance. Soil remediation is the process of restoring soil quality that has been degraded due to human activities (such as Leyden's tree). The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality, and associated earth functions  consists of determinable chaos making possible an aproach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems. This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic wast...
