The Effects of Humates on Remediation of Hydrocarbon and Salt Contaminated Soils

I was looking around the Internet one day, as I often do, and stumbled across a report about a very inexpensive but valuable product called Humate. Humate, simply put, is prehistoric organic matter that activates and attracts microbes, this is my interpretation of course and it is very simplified but remains. Microbes and carbon are essentially the basics of life. This report was prepared by Randy Mosley, Morris and Mosley, Inc. and explains controlled tests they performed with oil and salt contaminated samples.

To obtain the Menefee Humate mentioned in this report please refer to This Link.

The report is essentially saying that 1% mixture of humate in your oil or salt contaminated soils will speed the remediation process by up to fifty percent (50%) by attracting and activating nearby microbes, which eat the contamination and put out amino acids, fatty acids and sugars. It is much more complicated than this on a microbiological scale, but it can essentially be broken down to this simple summary.

I am simply sharing a tid-bit of information I found while looking for something to help with this horrible disaster still unfolding in the gulf. If the results of this report are true then this is a great organic and sustainable source that could very well be a way to help restore the affected states of the BP Deep Water Horizon oil spill.

If you do a simple Google Search or visit Earthgreen Products website and you will find volumes of information on humate.

This picture is a disgrace! The First Lady of The United States of America has always, and I mean always, been an image of grace, dignity, pride and has represented the Greatest Nation on Earth with respect.

Michelle Obama does not seem to posses the same qualities as former First Ladies of our Country. The following image shows the stark contrast and the general attitude of our current administration. Laura Bush and any of the former First Ladies would have never been caught dead in public, disrespecting our Country in this manner.

What is this? Since when does the First Lady disembark Air Force One in this manner?

I know this is not really a big deal, or is it? If you look at this the way I do you will see a average woman in average clothes with a average stride. Honestly, I am not very impressed with the image this woman is displaying for the U.S. and people that live here.

In contrast Laura Bush is standing tall, straight back, nice clothes and a proud stance. Gracefully disembarking the same Air force One, portraying our Country in a manner that is appropriate. Michelle Obama looks as if she is in the middle of spring cleaning. What’s up with that?

I know she looks comfy, and I am sure that she is, but is this the image we want for America? People should be able to wear and act as they want, within law and reason, but some people are escalated, people that others look up to, those that represent our Country for instance, and we expect a little more from them.

Celebrities and Politicians are some of the people that are supposed to be appropriate and especially the First Lady of The United States of America. Whenever the First Lady is in the public eye she should be the pinnacle of class, style and grace.

This picture disturbs me as it goes to show what the general attitude of the people running our Country today have. Blatant disregard of this Countries long standing ethical ideals.

What’s next? Bermudas in Congress and The Senate? Casual day at the White House? Come on!

Don’t be afraid to leave your comments. I’m sure there are some of you Obama lovers that will defend her to the end.
