This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Dan Energy Food Waste Cycle, Current State, Natural State, Future State, ENERGY FROM PETROLEUM: Reductionist Approach based on Improving a Part PROCESS Soil Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation by bacteria, funghi, insects and some worms, converting dry carbon waste into humus and green plant nitrogenous waste into absorbable nitrogen for plants. Fixes some radioactivity and nutrients in soil Not in fruit (food) Stores Water and Air in STRUCTURE Nutrients and Water, Microbes PROCESS Soil Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation by bacteria, funghi, insects and some worms, converting dry carbon waste into humus and green plant nitrogenous waste into absorbable nitrogen for plants. Fixes some radioactivity and nutrients in soil Not in fruit (food) Stores Water and Air in STRUCTURE Water Vapor, Sun PROCESS Soil Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation by bacteria, funghi, insects and some worms, converting dry carbon waste into humus and green plant nitrogenous waste into absorbable nitrogen for plants. Fixes some radioactivity and nutrients in soil Not in fruit (food) Stores Water and Air in STRUCTURE Sunlight, Sun PROCESS Soil Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation by bacteria, funghi, insects and some worms, converting dry carbon waste into humus and green plant nitrogenous waste into absorbable nitrogen for plants.

Fixes some radioactivity and nutrients in soil Not in fruit (food) Stores Water and Air in STRUCTURE Water Vapor, Home and Business Waste for Wet Waste Collectors ???? Transforms and Flows Potential Energy Used Nutrients and all Carbon Returned to Soil through Composting Available Nitrogen through Green Manure used to treat water (See Bombay Bay) Green Manure Harvested and used with Dry Carbon from farms and Trash for compost fertilizer GAs from Compost used for Power and a Balanced Grid, to offset High Cost Hours and sell Energy back into the Grid. Any usable byproducts diverted for revenue, Non-Edible Parts Green, Nitrogen Rich Brown, Carbon Stores Collected by Farmers Either Composted on Site or Sent to Municipal or Regional Composting Digesters Municipal or Regional Composting Digesters, Water Vapor From Air Plant Photosynthesis, Microbes Fixes Nutrients Plant Photosynthesis, Human Animals Outputs Urine: High Nitrogen, Plant Photosynthesis Transpires Water Vapor, Microbes PROCESS Soil Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation by bacteria, funghi, insects and some worms, converting dry carbon waste into humus and green plant nitrogenous waste into absorbable nitrogen for plants.
