permaculture

[Cory Brennan <cory8570@yahoo.com>]

Native microbes have already been demonstrated to clean up native wetlands of 
toxins such as oil. They will clean it up on their own, but it will also take 
the wetlands some time to recover. Microbe companies work with the natives to 
increase their numbers and speed up the process, just as permaculturists 
speed up process of reforestation by understanding how natural systems 
operate.
