Probiotic Earth

Eco Friendly, Dishwashing Liquid, Anti-Bacterial Hand WashProbiotics and probiotic organic materials are used every day to help facilitate the thousands of tiny eco systems on our planet, including the systems within our bodies. Probiotics are essential forms of good or positive bacteria which actively work against and protect against negative or bad bacteria. The flora in our human stomachs is one form of probiotics. Protective layers of algae is another form. When gardeners use small types of worms to eat compost and produce refined excrement of nutrients for their soil, they are using a tiny man-supervised eco system to make better compost for their plants. Probiotics have many uses, including eradicating species of parasites, eliminating plant disease or parasites, and protecting against creatures which normally would steal or eat farmer’s crops.

In the eco friendly world, probiotics are often used instead of harmful, hazardous, or non-biodegradable chemicals, especially regarding anything organic or which may come in contact with humans. Florists sometimes use natural, eco friendly stabilizers and plant food for their blossoms in order to protect any customers who may be sensitive to chemicals or who may have allergies. This is part of increasing global health, but it is also part of maintain positive relations with their customer base.

Even such simple actions as filling up a nearly empty milk jug with water and using the milky solution to water your plants in your home is a form of probiotic use. You are using the natural lactobacilli (milk bacteria) to facilitate break down of organic matter into nutrients for your plants. The same process occurs in your body when you drink acidophilus. Probiotics found in nature include dead and decaying animals and plant material, fungus, the nutrients derives from a mother’s milk, and simply being slowly and carefully exposed to an outside member of the ecological system until tolerance is developed and plants and animals adapt to include the newest member to their world. This is sometimes referred to as the survival of the fittest. Whoever and whatever can adapt to changes in their environment the fastest and the best are the organisms which are most likely to live the longest and die the hardest.(+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Landscaping for Our Environment

Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Glue Remover, Rust ConverterLandscaping companies and contractors worldwide encounter specific challenges and tasks which are identical across their industry. Their main task is to find a suitable compromise and a win-win situation between their clients’ needs and desires and what they have to work with on the property.

Some common tasks include dealing with location specific textures and contents of soil, depth and quality of soil, weather concerns for a specific area, which plants are native and therefore more hardy to that area, and the balance between purely aesthetic visual appeal and obtaining shrubbery and plants which require less water and less long-term care. Of course, depending upon the hired groundskeeper and caretaker of the estate, certain plants with more visual appeal but which are more taxing to take care of may be an option. Some gardeners take their jobs seriously enough that they welcome a challenge in keeping difficult-to-care-for greenery in perfect condition. It is an effective team that consists of a high quality initial landscaper paired with a passionate long-term groundskeeper.

Many companies, businesses, estates, and individual or family clients require that their building and property upkeep follow in the same footsteps as their normal, environmentally friendly business practices. In these cases, landscapers must be well versed in which products are not only safe for the earth, but are also high effective to use in a multitude of situations. This is why Envirosafe Solutions offers a 30 day money back guarantee on all of our products. We want our clients to test our products, evaluate their effectiveness, and draw their own conclusions, without having the pressure of monetary loss if our standards are not up to par. That is how confident we are that our eco friendly soil treatments, disinfectants, and problem removers are both ecologically sound and highly effective as consumer products.

Landscapers must juggle what will work with the condition of the property they are in charge of and what will be most pleasing to their clients. Envirosafe Solutions is proud to say that all of our products will meet the needs of both landscapers and their clients. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Knowing How to Care For Your Plants

Eco Friendly, Dishwashing Liquid, Anti-Bacterial Hand WashWhether you own a gardening company, a produce company, or you are simply looking to meet your personal plant care needs, it is important to fully understand all of the ways that your plants soak up nutrition, release oxygen into the air, grow bigger fruit, and produce healthier compost.

The first thing to consider is what type of herbicides and pesticides you will be using on your flowering or fruiting plants. This is important not only for the sake of human health and human exposure, but also for the sake of biodegradability and earth friendly compost and organic break down. When you use eco friendly agricultural and gardening products, they get the job done, but they also contribute to the process of organic decay after the plant has died or been harvested. This organic decay is essential in maintaining a healthy crop next year or next season, since it puts nutrients back into the soil for future plant growth.

The second thing to consider when caring for your plants is their soil treatment. Roots require both air and water to grow, and too little of either can be detrimental and cause puny development or even cause the plants die off if they do not receive enough of either resource. This is why even basic, small gardening pots contain specific potting soil which allows air to be trapped in the soil and aerate the roots, as well as providing moisture from watering. Many first time gardeners have made the mistake of digging up soil from their back yard to put into their gardening pots, but this soil does not always contain enough air for deep root growth and the initial shoots often die off before they even become full grown.

Lastly, one must consider how current plant growth can contribute to and affect future generations of plants or crops. This means that crop rotation must be carefully planned and executed, especially in consecutive dry seasons when not a lot of extraneous moisture is being returned to the soil, and it means that what you treat this season’s crop with must be adaptable to both the soil and next season’s crops. This means that biodegradable agricultural products really must be used from beginning to harvest time, or you may have unwanted leftover chemicals which will work their way further into the soil.

WA mines should turn to solar, wind power: Report

Radiator Coolant, Dishwasher Rinse Aid, Fabric Conditioner, Laundry PowderIt’s an interesting thought… powering remote coal, gas or uranium mines with renewable energy. Yet according to a new study, eco-friendlyenergy (fromindustrialliquid biomass, wind and solar) could supply up to 500MW to the Pilbara and Mid West region. The only stumbling block for extreme green energy is concerns over cost and reliability.

Remote mining provinces in WA have been identified as key areas for the deployment of renewable energy.

A new study commissioned by the Australian Centre for Renewable energy and conducted by consulting group Evans and Peck has looked at renewable energy options for the Pilbara and Mid West regions.

It has concluded that up to 500MW of renewables could be could be deployed in the Pilbara by 2020. Up to 150MW could be deployed in off-grid locations in the Mid West.

Powering remote mining sites with renewable energy would be more environmentally friendly. Liquid biomass, solar and wind renewables can be costly compared to fossil-fuel based energy sources, but in remote areas these costs can be kept more competitive.

“There appears no better place for renewables to compete on cost,” the report states.

Opposed to change

A culture of adversity to change presents one of the greatest barriers to mining companies adopting renewable energy sources.

The report identified a perception by mining companies that renewables posed “unacceptable risk” in terms of reliability.

“The appetite for novelty is low… the Pilbara is a location where things have to work well and there’s little time for those that cannot demonstrate this.”

Olympic Dam

The report highlighted BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam uranium mine in South Australia as an example of a mining project which had been prepared to consider using renewable energy alternatives.

The mining giant has identified renewable energy as a key possibility for reducing the environmental impacts of its Olympic Dam expansion. As part of its commitment to the green revolution, it will consider renewable energy to power its desalination plant and pump stations.

“BHP Billiton recognises the potential of local solar energy, regional geothermal and the State’s wind resources and has had discussions with many specialist renewable energy companies,” the company has stated.

Leading Perth-based supplier of eco-friendly liquid products Envirosafe Solutions hassupported efforts to make remote mining sites more environmentally friendly. Liquid cleaners including hardwater laundry liquid and porta-loo treatments designed for remote areas often contain toxic chemicals which can contaminate soil and water.  Envirosafe Solutions’ Extreme Green range is safe for greywater and septic treatment systems.

Tapping into renewable energy sources to power mining operations is another step toward a greener mining sector. For more environmental mining solutions call 1300 88 90 70 or email info@evss.com.au.

New offshore mining leases approved near Ningaloo

Dishwasher Powder, Disinfectant, Radiator CoolantA new offshore exploration permit has been granted near Western Australia’s Ningaloo Marine Park. The recently-listed World Heritage site has also been under threat from increased marine pollution which includes oil spills, fertilisers, chemicals found in non-environmental cleaning products and plastic waste.

The Federal Government has awarded Woodside Petroleum an exploration permit for 480 square kilometres near the prized Ningaloo Marine Park.

The permit area is near the much larger exploration permit approved for Dutch petroleum company Shell by the Government in July. The location of the Shell permit, 50 kilometres west of the marine park, generated heavy criticism from green revolution proponents.

Environmental activists claim exploration activities could impacton the reef and rare marine life, including dugongs, sea turtles and whale sharks, and are not eco-friendly. Industrial liquids including chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides also wash into the coast from inland waterways, polluting the now-Heritage Listed reef.

Woodside Petroleum and partner Mitsui E&P have revealed plans to spend more than $42 million exploring the permit, near its Vincent and Enfield oil operations. This will include drilling operations.

The Conservation Council of WAsaidthe 2011 round of exploration leases – which will be up for approval next year – would increase drilling along the Ningaloo coastline. It claims the permits awarded to Woodside falls within 20km of the Ningaloo Marine Park. Other leases to Woodside and Shell are offshore from the pristine Rowley and Shoals coral reefs.

Council Marine Co-ordinator Tim Nicol has called for an increased buffer between the Ningaloo Reef and mining activities to make offshore exploration more environmentally-friendly. Liquid oil spills remain a critical concern, he said.

“We are calling on the Government to put some balance into the management of our Northwest oceans by creating a marine sanctuary offshore from Ningaloo Reef that will provide a permanent buffer against the impacts of oil drilling and the risk of spills,” Mr Nicol said.

“No one wants to see a Gulf of Mexico or Timor Sea oil spill right off the coast from Ningaloo Reef.

“The waters off our Northwest coast are some of the most unique and pristine tropical marine areas in the world. We need a much more responsible approach to balancing development with protecting this fragile marine environment.”

The Federal Government has committed to increasing regulation of the offshore industry by establishing a petroleum safety watchdog on January 1. Woodside has promised to be vigilant in ensuring non-eco-friendly industrial liquids do not spill into the ocean.

“A two barrier standard applies to all Woodside-operated drilling operations, which ensures there are at least two tested barriers in place at any time to prevent reservoir fluids flowing to the external environment,” a Woodside spokesperson said.

Leading Perth-based environmental cleaning products company Envirosafe Solutions supply non-toxic alternatives to traditional industrial cleaning liquids. Its Extreme Green range is ideal for use in remote mining sites and has given the industry a valuable tool in improving environmental outcomes.

Coal seam gas Australia’s next big gold rush

Fuel Conditioner, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Glue RemoverAustralia’s great gold rush of the 1850s saw it produce one third of the world’s gold. In little more than a decade, coal seam gas mining has become the nation’s latest mining boom. Queensland and New South Wales are in the grips of a fierce debate over this relatively new industry.

Coal seam gas mining has grown at a phenomenal speed over the past decade.

The controversy surrounding mining operations down the Queensland and New South Wales coastline has been extreme. Green activists have joined farming communities to protest the impact of the mining method on groundwater tables, pollution and the disposal of non-environmentally-friendly liquid waste.

Fracking water

A major concern has been the impact of coal seam gas water extracted during the fracking process (where water, sand and chemicals are forced underground to release trapped methane). Queensland authorities have been forced to investigate the disposal of non-eco-friendly industrial liquid waste into the Condamine River.

It granted permission to Origin Energy and ConocoPhillips to release water from its coal seam gas operations into the river. The water comes from a desalination plant servicing coal seam and natural gas plants.

It has been reported the treated coal seam gas water was a non-eco-friendly liquid product containing chemicals and heavy metals at levels considered toxic to animals, plants and microorganisms.

Groundwater

Groundwater pollution and overuse has concerned agricultural communities – it has been reported the coal seam gas industry draws 300 gigalitres of water from the ground each year.

There has also been debate over the rights of farmers to block access to miners, with talk on all sides of politics for legislation to protect landholders.

Miners

The mining sector has maintained that coal seam gas mining offers a greener energy choice. Its ‘We Want CSG’ website claims the message from green revolution proponents is misleading and that:

  • Coal seam gas produces 70 per cent less emissions than coal;
  • Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a process which has been safely used around the world for more than 60 years;
  • Queensland and NSW have banned the use of chemicals benzene, tolulene, ethylbenzene and xylenes in fracking.

Debate over coal seam gas mining has been heated and environmental impacts include depleting groundwater levels and pollution from non-environmentally friendly liquids.

Yet the industry has defended its environmental performance, claiming coal seam gas offers a greener energy option which produces significantly less greenhouse gas emissions than coal.

Monitoring and reducing harmful environmental impacts will be critical to the sustainability of this fast-growing industry. Reducing the use of harmful chemicals at mining sites can improve performance while preserving valuable water and soil resources.

Bleach freight spill highlights chemicals risk

Eco Friendly, Dishwashing Liquid, Anti-Bacterial Hand WashA recent spill from a 25,000 litre freight train containing the non-environmentally friendly liquid household bleach sodium hypochlorite forced the closure of a railway station north of Sydney. It highlighted the risk posed by the transportation of chemicals.

Emergency services were called to Morisset station north of Sydney after track workers noticed a liquid chemical leaking from a private freight train.

The spill from the tanker, carrying sodium hypochlorite, on November 19, 2011 caused delays for commuters and forced the station to shut down while emergency workers contained the leak.

Sodium hypochlorite is bleach found in common non-environmental cleaning products including laundry liquid and disinfectant. While considered safe to use in low concentrations, it is a strong oxidizer and can cause burns when in direct contact with skin or eyes.

When combined with organic chemicals including surfactants and fragrances found in non-eco-friendly liquid cleaning products it can react to produce chlorinated volatile organic compounds. If inhaled these vapours can be extremely toxic (which is why bleaching products should never be mixed with cleaning agents).

While the railway chemical spill was contained within hours, it raised concern about the safe transport and storage of chemical products, including eco-friendly industrial liquids.

Perth-based company Envirosafe Solutions has been an industry leader in developing clear hazard ratings designed to improve safe handling and transport of industrial liquids.

While its products are low-toxic and free of traditional harsh cleaning agents, director Murray Simon said it was important that hazard information was clearly displayed.

“We have had each of our products independently tested and labelled with health, environment, transportation and storage hazard ratings,” Mr Simon said.

“In addition we have recently taken the decision to include a Greywater and Septic Safe rating on our labels to make choosing the right product for your business even easier.

“It’s our belief that both traditional cleaning products and eco-friendly industrial liquids should carry clear, independent ratings so that operators know the risks involved in handling and storing these products.”

According to the Federal Government’s chemical accreditation guidelines released this year (RTC3705A) the risks posed by transport and storing chemicals include:

  • Potential risk to worker’s health during transport due to spillage, accident or poisoning;
  • Public health risk through possible cross-contamination of produce and damage to the environment through leakage and chemicals flowing into drains, water sources or horticultural land.

It is recommended workers handling chemical products familiarise themselves with Material Safety Data Sheets and take precautions against direct skin contact, inhalation of fumes and ingestion.

Chemical spills such as the freight train leak north of Sydney demonstrate the risks posed by the transportation of common products, including fertilisers, pesticides and other hazardous liquids.

Mining bosses admit carbon price is ‘necessary’

Disinfectant, Eco Friendly, Dishwashing Liquid, Anti-Bacterial Hand WashThe mining sector may have opposed the $23 per tonne carbon tax set for July next year but some of its key players have indicated in-principle support for carbon pricing. Adopting an environmentally friendly policy that’s liquid and open to reform is a positive sign from an industry historically driven by profits at all cost.

BHPBilliton’s chairman Jac Nasser has told shareholders that a carbon price was necessary.

His frank comments were made at the mining giant’s annual meeting in November, 2011.

While they are not an admission of support for the Federal Government’s carbon tax (a form of carbon pricing) his comments are a positive sign for the green revolution.

“We have held the view for some time that to effectively address climate change, some kind of carbon price is necessary,” Mr Nasser said.

“But we can’t talk about the future tax liabilities because we would have to consider 50 other things like commodity prices and exchange rates.”

The mining sector has taken steps to improve its extreme green credentials, adopting best practice standards including switching to environmental cleaning products to reduce soil and water contamination.

Rio Tinto

BHP has not been alone in its support of carbon pricing.

Fellow mining giant Rio Tinto has also expressed concern about climate change and indicated support for a price on carbon to encourage the development of low-emissions technology.

Rio Tinto’s energy chief Doug Ritchie has said climate change “represents uncertainty and potential volatility to the mining industry”.

Rio Tinto ranks alongside Xstrata and BHP Billiton as Australia’s largest coal producers.

Clear policy

Despite giving in-principle support for climate change action, Australia’s mining sector has largely opposed the carbon tax bill which was passed in September.

The Mineral Council of Australia has argued that a lack of clear policy was creating investment uncertainty.

“The lack of clarity on whether Australia will be taking on a five, 15 or even 25 per cent emissions reduction target by 2020 (against 2000 levels) will create significant uncertainty about the level of the carbon price once the ‘fixed’ price phase ends.”

Environmental concerns

The impact of mining on the environment continues to dominate headlines. Coal seam gas mining has become extremely contentious in NSW and Queensland. Critics claim the process of fracking (forcing air, sand and chemicals deep underground to release trapped gas) is far from eco-friendly. Industrial liquid waste is a key concern.

While mining techniques and environmental protection may be an uncomfortable mix, in-principle support for carbon pricing and recognition of climate change by global mining giants are encouraging signs.

Environmental cleaning products company Envirosafe Solutions is working with the mining sector to reduce the exposure of mining sites to toxic chemicals. By switching to eco-friendly liquid products remote sites can safeguard against soil and water contamination without compromising on results.

Steps to Initiate Alternative Fuels for Our Clean Planet

Laundry Powder, Dishwasher Rinse Aid, Fabric Conditioner, Dishwasher PowderEnvironmentally speaking, alternative fuels would be part of a greater movement to use biodegradable and sustainable products all over our beautiful green earth. Experimenting with and developing alternative fuel prototypes is part of global effort and scientists are employed in just about every nation, working on making their countries more sustainable. Even so, their efforts are not always recognized until someone else, who has power, authority and a solid reputation, begins to use their alternative fuel prototypes in real engines under real life circumstances.

In America, the U.S. Navy is sailing a Spruance-class destroyer along the California coast, using a 50-50 blend of petroleum based fuel and alternative sustainable oil. This is a positive move in favor of environmental protection for several reasons.

First, military forces from developed nations worldwide already have access to technology which the civilian world catches up on in about five to eight years time. Military structures are designed to use the latest technology and they tend to lead the trend in any new effort to make our lives more enjoyable or easier. Implementing alternative fuel may be the beginning of widespread alternative fuel development and petrol prices which are unbelievably low and cost effective.

Second, militaries worldwide implement new systems and practices which are now in use today. For example, the idea of workplace drug testing would have been highly controversial in private market thirty years, when military forces began using them, but are available today in many forms and to all types of businesses. Clearly, our efforts to keep our earth healthy and safe are bettered by the example set by any military force which uses alternative fuel. The American Navy has set a goal of using completely “green” alternative fuel in all of their sailing vessels by 2016. Envirosafe Solutions applauds all use of alternative fuel in our support of a better planet.

Alternative fuels are just one part of keeping our planet sustainable. Envirosafe Solutions offers fuel treatments, corrosion treatments, radiator liquids, and heavy duty solvents, all of which are environmentally safe and biodegradable. Our business is to keep our planet clean and your business clean: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Is Unemployment Affecting the Transportation Industry?

Dishwashing Liquid, Eco Friendly, Environmental Cleaning ProductsThe transportation industry, both trucking and railroads, is changing with the economy and with shipping needs. In America, managing director of Nicolaus & Co. John G. Larkin, who has more than twenty years of experience in the transportation and civil engineering industries, was interviewed by the senior editor of DC Velocity, Mark B. Solomon. Larkin was asked about changes in shipping volumes, how carriers can make their changing needs more known to shippers and receivers, and what changes he has seen in the transportation industry, due to the economy as well as simply watching it for nearly three decades.

Because of the downturn in the U.S. economy during recent years, shipping volumes have fluctuated, but have remained relatively steady even during the past four years. Solomon cited one of the large problems not being driver recruitment, but driver retention, the most recent data showing turnover rates as high as 90 percent. Larkin responded that drivers need to be paid more, carriers need to keep trucks on the road more consistently, and that drivers need to get home more frequently. The need of companies to remain under the hours-of-service regulations means that some drivers are being pushed too hard while others are not being put on the road. Consistency is key in this situation and the carriers need to keep trucks rolling on a regular basis, so that both hours-of-service regulations and carrier goals are being fulfilled.

The transportation industry deals with many different specialized teams and operations working together, and it is important to have and maintain a cohesive plan in order to stay inside the law while also getting the maximum productivity out of trucking and railroad commissions. One of the things that the transportation industry must consider is keeping its carbon footprint as small as possible, and that requires some innovative thinking. Eco friendly fuels, fuel treatments, and degreasers are all examples of how this industry can improve its environmental support, as well as its customer base.

Envirosafe Solutions offers high quality, money back guaranteed degreasers, fuel treatments, sanitizers, lubricants and radiator liquids. Call us today to find out more: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Flooding Affects Bangkok Airport

Fuel Conditioner, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Dishwashing LiquidRecently, flooding shut down the Don Muang airport in Bangkok, Thailand, backing up confused waiting flight passengers who did not know that the airport had been shut down, and continuing a threat which has covered approximately one third of Thailand’s land area. Bangkok holds over nine million people residential neighborhoods bordering the north side of Bangkok are already under water. The panic and distrust in the government’s efforts to keep everyone safe is mounting. This will be a hard blow for both government responsibilities and commercial aviation trading with the Don Muang airport in Thailand.

When flooding continually increases over time, the borders of the floods coming further in each year and lasting longer, then it is the result of two possible causes: the land is becoming fully submerged on a permanent basis, or the land is shifting and achieving buoyancy over a period of twenty or thirty years. The latter is especially probable when large portions of the population and imported weight shift over time on a small island or lightly connected land base. Imported weight is added industrial size materials (and of course, added population) brought into the country.

Another theory ventured by a few forward thinking environmentalists is that flooding and desert conditions exist as part of a stabilizing mechanism performed by nature itself in the global macro eco system. In either scenario, it is necessary to use man’s superior research skills to find ways to have the lifestyles we wish to have and also maintain a balance of our precious eco systems.

It is necessary to be environmentally friendly in every part of our lives, not just normally measured areas. This includes lifestyle choices, such as eco friendly bio fuels, 100% recyclable material, reused wood for construction and design, environmentally friendly cleaning products, and sustainable resources. These lifestyle choices affect both macro eco systems and mass weight redistribution on land.

We do not always believe that we have a measurable effect on the weather or storm conditions or self sufficient shifting in nature. Theories have been posed by research scientists that we may have an impact on nature, and therefore can in some ways control it. Perhaps this is not true. Perhaps we should control what we know we can, and leave nature to fend for herself.

In either circumstance, we know for a fact that we have control over environmentally friendly cleaning products and methods in our homes and businesses. To find out more about how we’re able to help, call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Eliminate Battery Waste

Eco Friendly, Environmental Cleaning ProductsEvery day, thousands upon thousands of batteries are thrown away because they do not have any other use once they are used up. This may seem like a small number to you, since you probably only throw away batteries only once or twice a month. However, since each person, no matter what their age or social position, tends to go through batteries on a regular basis, it is important to understand the possible repercussions of not recycling them or not having a “next life” for them after they are used up. The company Earth Cell is trying to put an end to this environmental waste and sells their batteries with a prepaid “mailer” in which you can put used batteries until it is all filled up and then mail it back to their company. If the batteries can be recharged, they are and then resold. If not, they are systematically dismantled and recycled to make new batteries from the same company, Earth Cell.

This project is reminiscent of many economical and environmentally friendly ideas which have been tested and used only a slight amount in previous years, and that includes basic recycling practices, which not everyone cares enough about to continue and promote. Granted, our earth is becoming more environmentally aware, but we need to remember that even simple steps such as basic recycling is not that important to some people and that making it easier to sort, practice and use recycling or “upcycling” (where products are refurbished and made into other products, such as turning an old, unusable quilt into pot holders and perhaps even placemats at the dinner table, depending upon the size of the usable material). Let’s face it: we live in a society of immediacy and we are used to getting what we want, when we want it, how we want it. These are reasonable expectations to have during times of high technological innovation, but recycling should take on the Zeitgeist (the spirit of the times) and should be made more readily available for those who wish to employ it. This is why Earth Cell’s prepaid mailer is excellent for eco friendly individuals who would like to give back to the planet.

Envirosafe Solutions also gives back to the planet by offering cleaning liquids, disinfectants, kitchen products and laundry products, all of which are highly effective and completely biodegradable, easy to use and environmentally safe. Call us today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.

Canadian Mining Encounters Mexican Protest

Laundry Powder, Dust Suppressor, Fuel ConditionerWhat do you do when a site rich for mining is in the same location as endangered and religious-based eco systems for local wildlife and indigenous tribes? That’s a tough question, one which is faced by First Majestic Silver Corp., a Canadian mining company looking to mine the area of Wixariko, Mexico for rich quantities of silver and gold. This question is neatly balanced between Canadian interests in the mining potential of the lustrous area and the religious, cultural, and monetary interests of the local populace of Wixarika, or the Huicholes as they are best known. Both sides of the issue are complex and in need of further investigation. Sustainable and eco friendly facets are also a consideration, since this area is an endangered ecological system.

First Majestic Silver Corp. has already been granted six thousand hectares, most of which lies within this reserve, for twenty-two mining concession give to them. The mining company would provide jobs for local residents, something which is sorely needed since only a few sources of income are available in the area, including tourism, which would be negatively affected by the mining operations. First Majestic Silver Corp. is offering large concessions to the Wixarika, including seven hundred and sixty one hectares of land set aside for their sacred springs and willingness to completely give up access to Cerro Quemado mountain. An old former mine which was in operation several decades in the past will be reactivated, and as much of the old traditions observed, as possible. Juan Carlos Gonzalez is manager of the Minera Real Bonanza, which is a subsidiary of First Majestic, handling operation on the Real de Catorce project. He emphasizes that he wishes to run a sustainable, eco friendly management of the mining in that area with as little impact to the local people as possible.

The Huicholes have put their foot down, saying that this is non-negotiable. They cite the Mexican President’s promise to protect their cultural and religious areas. Their sacred sites include Wirikuta, a place of regular pilgrimage for the Wixarika, which they believe to be the birthplace of the sun. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) declared in 1998 that Wirikuta is one of the world’s fourteen natural sacred sites which needed to be protected.

Can A Company Be ‘Guaranteed Green’?

Dishwasher Rinse Aid, Fabric Conditioner, Laundry Powder“There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” This is often quoted by the cynical and the skeptical, and most people do not go so far as to believe in absolutes, like a guarantee. We are all aware of human nature and the potential for messing up the best laid plans. Some of us are naturally hopeful and some of us are naturally doubtful, but none of us ever really believe in human perfection…at least, not in this life. So can a company be completely environmentally friendly? Can an eco friendly business actually guarantee the economics of their product or service?

The answer is: No. Due to our all-too-apparent human fallibility, no company can make such a guarantee and follow through with perfect exactitude. At Envirosafe Solutions, we offer environmentally safe cleaning solvents and products for your corporate and industrial needs. We have a solid reputation and a long line of satisfied customers. However, we do not claim to be infallible. We do offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee, though. You must have used less than 1/10th of the total product and you must write to us with a reason for return within 30 days of the date of sale. We will pay the shipping to send you replacement products, but you must pay the return shipping for unused product, unless it is actually defective.

How is Envirosafe Solutions able to make such a guarantee, when anyone could return our products after using a small portion of them? We are so confident in the effectiveness of our eco friendly Extreme Green cleaning solutions, that we know that you will be a lifelong customer of ours. Alright, alright, we have given you a Money Back Guarantee, but what about our example? Do we actually use our own products in our own business?

You bet. We only use our eco friendly liquid products in our company. You can come by our offices and see for yourself. We are Unit 12 of 3 King Edward Road in Osborne Park, Western Australia. We would love to see you! If you do not fancy a drive to our physical location, give us a call at: (+61) 1300 88 90 70. If you are trying to make your company more eco friendly, the easiest way is to begin using our Extreme Green cleaning products in the care and maintenance of your worksite.

Biodegradable Solvents Are Safe to Store

Rust Remover, Radiator Coolant,Dishwasher Rinse AidWhether you own a large manufacturing plant or are looking to degrease your home garage, you will need a heavy duty solvent which can clean up petroleum based products, such as diesel, petrol and kerosene, and any type of engine oil, such as transmission oil, hydraulic oil, antifreeze and motor oil. Unfortunately, in the case of large chemical storage, petro solvents can be highly dangerous and corrosive. Transportation could fix this problem by only delivering the solvent when necessary, but this can become expensive and you may need to clean up toxic spills right away. Storage of petro solvents can be both expensive and hazardous, since the caustic chemicals will cause damage to health if spilled. It is recommended to use our eco-friendly Extreme Green Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner and Degreaser to solve this problem.

Our heavy duty degreaser is designed to be non-toxic and safe because it lacks dangerous petro solvents or corrosive acids. This makes our products safe to use, easy to store for long periods of time, and if an accident occurs, our cleaner/degreaser will not be hazardous to your employees’ health. On-the-job accidents and chemical spills can cost your company a great deal in liability, but this cleaner willreduce injuries and legal repercussions because it is safe both for the environment and for humans.

Because our Heavy Duty Alkaline Cleaner and Degreaser is water based, it will not leave a film on applied surfaces and will quickly and completely wash off by spraying your floors, walls or equipment down. This makes our degreaser great for oil and petrol workshops, auto repair shops, decorative brick paving, concrete sidewalks and even bathroom areas. Heavy duty machinery will require daily or weekly maintenance, especially in the mining industry, and our eco-friendly solvent will remain safe in closed spaces where clean breathing is vital. You can buy it in a variety of amounts, from single use or test run sizes to bulk liquid amounts. Click here for direct ordering information.

In large manufacturing and distributing companies, it is necessary to store many chemicals for operation onsite and in bulk amount due to daily consumption. Cleaning is necessary to keep expensive equipment and work spaces in good order. Envirosafe Solutions offers a wide variety of cleaning products which are environmentally safe, highly effective and which cut down on the waste produced by your individual organization.
