Lilacs and Bumble Bees

Fairview, Michigan is abundant with lilacs and with them come the bumble bees. I find the hum and beauty they bring to our yard, if only temporary, a Michigan staple I look forward to every year. I do wish their divine fragrance would last the summer, but that is not the case. California has bred a long lasting variety, but those are scentless and senseless as far as comparisons go. I’ll take a week of the real thing over several months of an imposter in another State.

The bumble bees will stay. They will find other avenues to gather their nectars from our gardens and ditches. While out planting a tree, I found their nest, an abandoned gopher hole in the meadow beside our yard. I am sure they will be happy there as the year rolls along into summer and fall. For now I will enjoy their dance with the lilacs across the countrysides of Northern Michigan.

Marketing Idea For Small Business Will Highlight Kenaf-Crete In Third Kenaf Book

In 2020, our Books Make Booms marketing idea for small business brings you– Kenaf, Housing The World.  It will be the third book in the kenaf series written and published by QuickTurtle Books® in partnership with Kenaf Partners USA  https://www.kenafpartnersusa.com  

HousingTheWorldCover

This book is meant to open wide the communication lines for the basic establishment and utilization of kenaf in the construction trades.    Kenaf-crete’s versatility and ease of use have many advantages over traditional construction practices.  Kenaf/hemp fibers and core are being realized for these purposes and home building from kenaf-crete and hemp-crete has the potential for exponential growth well into the future. 

With the advent of 3-D printing it seems that the sky’s the limit when it comes to the building potentials in this medium.  Used as printing stock, kenaf fiber can construct homes as well as furnish them with modern plant based plastics and fiber compounds for making just about anything.

Hemp-crete already has a foothold in the construction trades with company’s like Hempitecture https://www.hempitecture.com with their goals for eco-friendly and sustainable housing.  Hempitecture offers education workshops for a new generation of professional contractors interested in pursuing careers in the hemp-crete building industry.  Hempitecture’s workshop attendees have come from all parts of the world in order to be trained as hemp building experts.  

Books Make Booms is currently in talks with Hempitecture’s CEO Tommy Gibbons for the creation of a hemp-crete custom book.  We’d love to partner with and help Hempitecture achieve their lofted goals and purposes for housing.  Their entrepreneurial spirit is truly on the forefront of the hemp and kenaf explosion soon to come. 

Biodegradable hemp-plastic upgrades from traditional fossil fuel plastics is the realm of a company called Zeoform https://www.zeoform.com.  Zeoform is a revolutionary cellulose based material that has the potential to change everything.  Made from cellulose fibers and water – and absolutely nothing else, their patented process converts cellulose fibers into an industrial strength moulding material capable of being formed into an unlimited array of products.

Zeoform is 100% non-toxic, biodegradable, compostable and ‘locks up’ carbon into beautiful, functional forms.

Kenaf is a perfect marriage for producing the cellulose fibers needed and used in the Zeoform process.  

Supplying this rumbling volcano of an industry with kenaf and hemp fibers will be a welcome boon for many farmers of the future willing to make the leap to kenaf as a rotational cash crop as described in Kenaf, Seeding The World https://www.amazon.com/Kenaf-Seeding-World-Rotational-QuickTurtle/dp/1940736552/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=richard+rensberry&qid=1578765584&sr=8-15. 

Kenaf, Housing The World is getting much closer to reality.  Its namesake book will go to press this spring, 2020.

Helping Small Businesses

EforEthical

A major part of building a successful small business can be considered an art.  A valuable part of that art is applying personal character strengths and virtues to create and build that business brand.  Success can depend on many things, but I believe the make or break point of almost all start-up businesses rests on the application of basic virtues: such as manners, truth in advertising, true help, keeping one’s word, reliability and so forth.  The Best of Me from a to z is a list of virtues for life and business that when correctly applied, can elevate that art.  It is beautifully illustrated for children and adults.  This book was winner of the 2018 TCK Readers Choice Awards and is applicable to our everyday walk through life and business.
