The Final Word Not Another Ban. This Plan is for Everyone.

Commercial    ◊    Environmental    ◊    Scientific    ◊    Final Word

With Brightleaf's solution, bans are not required to realize its goals for nutrient reduction, particularly those without regard for how to get results when imposing these restrictive measures. Another well-intentioned yet frivolous activity is the search for a panacea fertilizer. Natural and organic sources are not new so if there were a panacea, super fertilizer it would have likely been found long ago, going back to beginnings of agriculture. Unfortunately, aggressive actions are leading to the elimination of many useful resources and are led by newcomers with influence whose voices go unchallenged in a vacuum, void of leaders that would otherwise bring reason to the discussion.

Vast Recycling Creates Opportunities

We need change but not where there is less choice and with what remains as alternatives, one is left feeling as though it was forced upon them. The Brightleaf Fund puts an end to those failed policies and created an all-inclusive, all-encompassing, national platform. Bioethically conscious citizens are encouraged to use a variety of organic materials as long as processing and testing is sufficient. With vast recycling, an abundance of opportunities will develop. With some sources, there will always be critics that will exaggerate their disadvantages. Left unabated and societies' greatest needs might be lost; clean water! Lets not allow that to happen.

Public Relations Opportunity

Our industry's perceived image is one giving lip-service "to apply only what is needed" when promotions encourage purchases of as much salt-based tonnage as possible. With this sort of hypocrisy, it should be of no surprise the localities fed up by our in-action have reacted with imposed restrictions and bans. It will be easy to energize the good people of our industry who really care about changing the reputation their industry has received as being a major polluter. We may not be a main contributor to runoff and leachates as commonly defended but who listens? With the commercial plan, nutrient management in action, the industry has a wonderful public relations opportunity.
