Mycocycle is shifting the paradigm of waste management by using fungi to transform waste into reusable resources. Mycocycle's innovative solution hinges on the remarkable capabilities of fungi, particularly their mycelium - the root-like structures that absorb nutrients. Fungi can break down complex organic materials, but could they do it with waste? This was the question that drove Joanne to establish Mycocycle.Mycocycle's technology is a unique blend of applied mycology and biotechnology. The process begins with treating waste materials with specific fungi species, which then break down the waste and detoxify it. The result is a bio-based material that can be used as an input for other products. This is a three-step process: blending, inoculating, and finally, material development.Mycocycle's solution is not just theoretical, but practical, and scalable. The company has developed mobile bioprocessors to decentralize the process, making it possible to implement their solution all over the country and even overseas.But why is this so important? The waste problem that Mycocycle is tackling is twice the size of plastic pollution. By leveraging the potential of fungi, Mycocycle is not only reducing the volume of waste but also transforming it into a resource, thereby addressing two critical environmental challenges simultaneously.The journey of Mycocycle is a testament to the power of innovative thinking and the potential of biotechnology. The company's work shows how we can harness the power of nature to address some of our most pressing environmental issues. As we face a future where waste management and resource scarcity are becoming increasingly crucial, solutions like Mycocycle's could play a pivotal role.Visit mycocycle.com to learn more!

Hello and welcome to the Tarot for May 1, 2024. There were lots of questions that came up this month, especially around the fighting between Israel, Iran, and the possibility of WWIII, so that became my first question. Then I found myself aware of the growing anger about what's happening at the southern border of the U.S. and the possibility of that anger spilling over and making it difficult to travel safely because of wandering gangs or street riots. So that became my second question. The third question came out of the concern for the medical treaty that the U.S. is preparing to sign with the World Health Organization. And then I went to look for a message from Animal Speak regarding building a new world. So let's begin!The questions were:1.  What do we need to know and prepare for regarding the Israeli-Iran clash in the Middle East and its outcome?2.  Given the situation at the southern border of the U.S. and the infiltration of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, will this affect our ability to travel safely and to move about freely in our cities and towns?3.  What do we need to know and do about the World Health Organization and the medical sovereignty the U.S. government is planning to hand over on May 8th of 2024?4.  What can Mother Nature and the animal kingdom tell us about building a new world?The cards drawn were:1. Ace of Swords and Seven of Swords2. The Hermit3. Ten of Swords4. The Goldfinch✅ Find Penny on:

It covers everything that needs to be said – again – and everything we need to be dealing with and thinking about. As you listen and watch, keep in mind…it's our world!
