Field Guide printed

We put together a field guide to phy­tore­me­di­a­tion based on our research and expe­ri­ence at La Finca del Sur this sum­mer. It’s a 40+ page book­let that trans­lates a lot of sci­en­tific research into com­pre­hen­si­ble lan­guage and graph­ics. Like for instance,

Where did the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of soil come from to begin with?
What plants work best to reme­di­ate lead, arsenic or petro­leum?
What hap­pens in the plant, when it “phytoremediates”?

Phy­tore­me­di­a­tion is not magic and it doesn’t work every­where, but this book­let is designed to help com­mu­nity groups and cit­i­zens to be edu­cated and start the con­ver­sa­tion about phy­tore­me­di­a­tion as a more sus­tain­able alter­na­tive to brown­field remediation.

We will dis­trib­ute the guide free of charge at our upcom­ing events and at La Finca next sum­mer. Con­tact us, if you like a copy.
