Global Impact has taken the initiative to start the Tree Seed Bank, a dedicated cause to preserve the forests of today for tomorrow. We have started to collect seed from the Hardwood and semi-hardwood forests of North America in an effort to regenerate the loss of forests from clear cutting and to educate the land owners to take the necessary steps to preserve our natural resources. We hope to extend our cause throughout the world.

ORGANIC ACIDS

Landfill organic acids are created when rain or surface water leach through the soil and mix with the refuse disposed of there and create a chemical soup unlike anything you might think up in a lab. These chemicals usually organic type acids contaminate the soils and ground water. Nobody really knows the extent of the damage they might have in the near to distant future. One problem is, there is a high risk of the potential mutagenic effects these contaminants can have.

More and more of these acids leach into the ground water take along heavy metals which are as equally as dangerous to humans and all life.
