The sight of all that oil piled into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico is an
appalling one – reminding us that oil and water truly don’t mix. Add to this the
lost dollars in the tourism business and other industries and we have a
catastrophe of major proportions.
But to the rescue come companies big and small, who saw this disaster coming and
prepared themselves to help solve it. One is located thousands of miles away, on
the Pacific Coast, the other in Wisconsin, and the two are uniting to tackle the
awful consequences of the Gulf spill.
Carlsbad, California-headquartered U.S. Microbics (Pink Sheets:BUGS), an
environmental technology company, and Racine, Wisconsin-based Pacific Sands,
Inc. (OTCBB:PFSD) announced in late June that they are jointly formulating
products that could directly benefit victims of the spill, products that could
soon be available for consumer and commercial use and could be used on marine
structures and wildlife contaminated with gooey oil.
Using components of PFSD’s Natural Choices™ product line and the oil spill
cleanup experience of BUGS management, coupled with direct input from industry
experts and technologists, the companies hope to introduce one or more products
that can help clean up oil spill residue without using additional solvents,
dyes, and chemicals that irritate the skin, require special equipment and
training to apply or may harm the environment.
BUGS, which incorporated in 1997 after purchasing the proprietary micobial
technology from biofirm XyclonyX, is an environmental technology company
providing administrative management services to its operating subsidiaries. The
company operates through two divisions, USM Solutions and USM Capital Group,
Inc.
The USM Solutions division provides proprietary microbial technologies that
provide natural solutions to various environmental problems. Its microbes or
"bugs" are used to break down various hydrocarbon substances, including oil,
diesel fuel, MTBE, Perchloroethylene (PCE), toxic waste, and certain water and
soil contamination.
PFSD is an environmental products company that develops, manufactures and sells
a wide variety of eco-friendly products for cleaning and water maintenance
applications. The company's broad portfolio of products are sold world under
numerous private label brands as well as its house brands, ecoone® and Natural
Choices™.
Shares in BUGS surmounted the five-million mark within an hour of the opening of
trading on June 25, the disaster in the Gulf fully embedded in investors’ minds,
and the price hovered around 1.1 cents, only slightly off the 1.4-cent high for
the last 52 weeks achieved the day before. The low for the year was two-100ths
of a cent, to which it sank shortly before Christmas.
PFSD’s shares also sold like the proverbial hotcakes the same day, more than
200,000 shares changing hands the same hour. The stock’s price climbed to nine
cents, yet another 52-week high, after it sank to a depth of two cents in late
May. The figures speak for themselves – word is getting around about these two
stocks, their companies’ accomplishments, and what more both can do. Investors
should take a close look at both.
