Cleaning Up Oil…and Other Toxic Compounds
I’m a strong supporter in real solutions. In every aspect of our lives, the natural environment continually surprises me with its resilience and persistence. The more our society pollutes, the more I search for the natural component that’s ready to step to the plate and heal the wounds inflicted by so many unconscious decisions.
The BP oil spill left me again looking for its healing counterpart. I’d remembered reading it somewhere: the eater and healer of petroleum hydrocarbons, but the “what” continued to allude me. As solution driven as always, I finally came across the “what” that I had once read, and I decided to share it with my fellow seekers.
Hidden in one of my most beloved books, The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins, I reread the sought remembrance on pages 56-59 under Compost Miracles.
