MICROORGANISMS FOR DUMMIES: Practical Solutions to Today's Environmental 
Problems
MEDIA ALERT:

WHAT: Whole Foods Market, in conjunction with EM America, EMRO USA 
Effective Microorganisms, EM Research Organization, and EM Technology 
Network, is sponsoring a seminar to examine the benefits of effective 
microorganisms for air, water, soil, and health.

WHEN AND WHERE: Sunday April 1st, 2007 from 2:00pm-5pm at the Glendale 
Civic Auditorium in Glendale, California.

DETAILS: This public event is FREE.  Parking $6.  Complimentary 
refreshments provided Whole Foods Market.  Lecturers from around the 
world, including the developer of the Effective Microorganisms 
Technology, Dr. Teruo Higa will present practical solutions to today's 
environmental problems.

WHY: Since 1982, the use of Effective Microorganisms(TM) (EM•1) has 
spread to over 100 countries.  Today, Effective Microorganisms is used 
in sustainable agriculture, environmental cleanup, waste management, and 
for producing various dietary supplements.  Recently, Effective 
Microorganisms received international recognition when it was used 
throughout Southeast Asia in the tsunami aftermath to control odors and 
prevent the spread of disease.

A summary of the lectures follows.  A video introduction covering the 
Japanese national project for the cleanup of the Seto Inland Sea will be 
presented at the beginning of the event.

PROGRAM:
Effective Microorganisms:  Creating Holistic Pathways Toward Healthy 
Lifestyles:
Dr. Higa is a Professor of Horticulture at the University of the Ryukyus 
in Okinawa, Japan.  He is the author of the best-selling books "An Earth 
Saving Revolution”, Volumes I & II.  These books chronicle his discovery 
of the Effective Microorganisms(TM) products and his development of the 
Effective Microorganisms Technology.  In this lecture, Dr. Higa will 
discuss what Effective Microorganisms is and how we can use this 
technology in our everyday lives.

Controlling Odors In Livestock Operations & Organic Farming With 
Effective Microorganisms:
Dr. Sangakkara is a Senior Professor of Crop Science at the University 
of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka and has been researching the practical 
applications and benefits of EM•1 for over 15 years.In this lecture, Dr. 
Sangakkara will discuss improving air quality and management of wastes 
in and around livestock operations.   He will also describe how organic 
farming with Effective Microorganisms(TM) results in building healthy 
soils that resist erosion and prevent contamination from nutrient 
run-off, protecting both surface water and groundwater.

Bio-Conversion With Effective Microorganisms:  From Wastes To Resources:
Dr. Tabora is a Professor of Tropical Crop Production at EARTH 
University in Costa Rica.   Dr. Tabora has been researching the 
applications of EM•1® in sustainable agriculture for over 10 years.  He 
was also instrumental in coordinating the distribution of 
sustainably-grown bananas from EARTH University through Whole Foods 
Markets in the Eastern United States. In this lecture, Dr. Tabora will 
compare conventional banana production to sustainable banana production 
with EM•1.   Replacing several synthetic chemicals in the conventional 
process with EM•1® has reduced the negative environmental impact of this 
huge industry.  EM•1® easily converts wastes into resources 
(fertilizers), making zero waste goals obtainable. The process is simple 
and can be done on a small-scale with household wastes.

Organic Turf Management Made Possible With EM•1 And Composting With EM•1:
Jeremy Murdock is the Vice President of EM America, President of K&M 
Remediation, and a California Certified Organic Farm Inspector.  Mr. 
Murdock has been involved in several research projects with Effective 
Microorganisms(TM) since 1996.  His areas of expertise include 
agriculture, wastewater treatment, turf management, air quality, and 
composting. In this lecture, the use of EM•1 on turf for maintaining 
disease-free healthy lawns and/or golf courses will be described, 
including basic application rates and methods.  Video clips will 
illustrate the success of an EM•1 program on a PGA level golf course.

Additionally, the use of EM•1 for commercial and residential composting 
will be discussed emphasizing reduced management time and cost.  A video 
will illustrate the success of a commercial composting operation and 
review of basic compost data will help quantify the benefits of EM•1® 
composting.

Cut Flower And Potted Plant Care With EM•1 And EM-X Ceramics, Backyard 
Gardening With EM•1 And EM•1 Bokashi:
Glen Pape is a Partner of The Flower Company, a Texas-based floral 
company, and Broker for EM America in state of Texas.  Mr. Pape has 
developed Effective Microorganisms(TM) and EM-X Ceramics programs for 
professional floral companies.Mr. Pape will discuss basic applications 
and methods of application on the use of EM•1 and EM-X Ceramics in 
extending the shelf life and marketability of cut flowers and potted 
plants in the floral industry as well as household plants. Discussions 
will also include application rates for soil and foliar feeding as well 
as applications of EM•1 Bokashi in the Backyard Garden to Improve soil 
and plant quality with EM Technology™.
