So, the recent hurricane disaster in North Carolina/East Tennessee has left behind a toxic mess. The rivers are basically a nasty soup of chemical, biological, and possibly even nuclear (ever heard of Oak Ridge?) contaminants.
This evening Alan Booker, executive director of the Institute of Integrated Regenerative Design, gave a presentation at Mars Hill NC on how they might begin the process of using bioremediation to restore their area.
Some very interesting information. Very cutting-edge stuff straight out of his research. And who knows, those Appalachian folks may just pioneer some new techniques that will be of great importance to all of us in the future!
Well, enough of my rambling. Here's the recording of the event.
NOTE: there was apparently a technical issue, so no sound for the first few minutes
