Word of the Day: Phytoremediation

This refers to using plants to clean up contaminated environments (eg. oil spills).

I recently came across an interview with Dr Eucharia Nwaichi, a biochemist working with local communities in the Niger Delta region, planting lemongrass & rubber to clean toxins from contaminated soils.

Pourquoi parle-t-on si peu de la #phytoremediation ?

Although sunflowers can also remove some toxic elements from soil. Maybe not lead, but some? #plantscience #phytoremediation https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/headlines/2020/07/remediation-of-your-soil-dont-be-mis-lead/

"#EarthRepair explores a host of powerful grassroots #bioremediation techniques to assist with the recovery of the lands that nourish us, & to support the work many of us do everyday to grow healthy food & medicine amidst the polluted & damaged #soils of our backyard #gardens, community commons, & wild lands."

These techniques include:

hello, fellow chlorochrous creatures. i am trying to navigate this space and grow some community here! i live in the pnw. i love metalsmithing, especially synclastic and anticlastic raising and fold forming.

i am passionate about keeping bees, tending to pollinator and wildlife habitat and bioremediation of brown fields. i grow perennial edibles, and aromatic plants that i distill with my trusty copper alembic or enfleurage to make botanical scents with.

i design bilingual (en/es) curriculum and practice regenerative, whole systems-informed horticultural therapy with youth in the foster system and carceral institutions. well, i did and will do again.

currently i am in a rather extended process of recovering from spinal cord surgery, so i am mostly prone while my body mends. i have eds so it’s a slow process. i am pretty much on pause right now. which makes me treasure whatever kind of intellectual and creative stimulation i can get!

lower case has been my default since i first read bell hooks as a wee lass. now i just learned why the first letter of each word should be capitalized in hashtags - to make it more coherent for people who use screen readers. so, here is a lengthy list of things i’d love to connect around!
