Campaign. Now it the time to regain our natural rhythm
through regaining our beat with nature.
The chain of being on land and sea asked
to be restored now

and through each of becoming and supporting
heartfelt Green Companies who will help us raise awareness.
The ocean is asking
that we might end the use of
styrofoam, and poor plastic use;
The land is asking that we
restore and recognize the power in
a simple seed to plant a new world.
Today, we are asked to restore food safety
be eating sanely; to embrace personally
the lives of our remaining local farmers.

PAINT AN ECO USABLE BOTTLE
Joey Mendelsohn and Marc Wollman
of EcoUsable Stainless Steel BPA Bottles
want to help the B'nai Horin Community
transition from using plastic bottles
at their services.
These plastic bottles are not the best for
having a Happy New Year.
They contain important things like
BPA, a substance that is now too good
for having a Happy New Year.
Plastic bottles are also not too good
for the fishes in the ocean. Too many people
have a habit of still imagining, ever after
Columbus told of that the world is round,
of going to the edge of their world
and tossing out what they imagine is trash.
A lot of trash goes into the ocean.
There is even a place in the ocean now
the size of Texas, a big state, where
all the discarded waste has gathered.
IT is called the Great Pacific Gyre.
Guess what happens in our world world?
The little ocean life called Plankton,
that make our oxygen cannot breathe anymore.
They are caughing.
Then, there is another problem.
Stryrofoam that we get when we buy Take Out
gets into the ocean too!
It breaks down into little pieces called nurdles.
Then birds and fish thing the nurdles are food,
but and they get really hurt.
What what happens next?
Poisons collect around the plastic has it bakes in the
hot sun where it releases poisons.
Sometimes fish eat the small bits and pieces.
Then fishermen catch the fish, and mothers and fathers
bring the fish home. Guess What?
You end up eating the fish!
Is that any way to Have a Happy New Year?
Joey and Marc want to know?

What it is to be BioSmart?
Anthony Russo is a friend of Leslie, Your Enchanted Gardener.
Anthony is also a friend of Keep The Beet Media Star,
The World's First Talking Beet Plant.
Another is a Beet Keeper and loves to garden.
He loves children and often helps different college projects
by donating his Sustainable Packaging and 100% Natural Service
Ware made of Sugar Cane Bagasse.
Bagasse is was often a throwaway product in many parts of the world
where sugar cane was raised. It was often burned, causing
pollution.
Anthony now helps many small farmers in Asia feed their
families. He turns the sugar cane thow away Bagasse into beautifully
designed BioSmart containers that are becoming very popular
where ever Styrofoam containers used to be sold for Take Out.
Leslie often uses this containers to start Beet Seeds,
and plant beet roots. The Beet Keepers are exploring other
seeds that will grow in these containers.
The containers are compost friendly. That means they do not
have to go in land fills. They can be fed to worms, or recycled.

THE LIFE OF A PLASTIC BAG
RIna, watch this please to get the idea
of what is going on...
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine litter in the central North Pacific Ocean located roughly between 135° to 155°W and 35° to 42°N.[1] The patch extends over a very wide area, with estimates ranging from an area the size of the state of Texas to one larger than the continental United States; however, the exact size is unknown.[2] This can be attributed to the fact that there is no specific standard for determining the boundary between the “normal” and “elevated” levels of pollutants and what constitutes being part of the patch. The size is determined by a higher-than normal degree of concentration of pelagic debris in the water. Recent data collected from Pacific albatross populations suggest there may be two distinct zones of concentrated debris in the Pacific.[3]
The Patch is characterized by exceptionally high conce
Effect on wildlife

Some of these long-lasting plastics end up in the stomachs of marine birds and animals, and their young,[7] including sea turtles, and the Black-footed Albatross.[25] Besides the particles' danger to wildlife, the floating debris can absorb organic pollutants from seawater, including PCBs, DDT, and PAHs.[26] Aside from toxic effects,[27] when ingested, some of these are mistaken by the endocrine system as estradiol, causing hormone disruption in the affected animal.[25] These toxin-containing plastic pieces are also eaten by jellyfish, which are then eaten by larger fish. Many of these fish are then consumed by humans, resulting in their ingestion of toxic chemicals.[28] Marine plastics also facilitate the spread of invasive species that attach to floating plastic in one region and drift long distances to colonize other ecosystems.[17]
Research has shown that this plastic marine debris affects at least 267 species worldwide and a few of the 267 species reside in the North Pacific Gyre.[29]
