BUGS and Pacific Sands, Inc. Ready Products to Aid Oil Spill Cleanup Efforts
On Thursday June 24, 2010, 9:00 am
CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwire - 06/24/10) - U.S. Microbics (Pinksheets:BUGS - News), an environmental technology company, and Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTC.BB:PFSD - News), a manufacturer of a broad range of environmentally friendly cleaning products, are jointly formulating products that could directly benefit victims of the recent Gulf Oil Spill, one of the worst environmental disasters of our time. The products 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 the Pacific Sands 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. The developed products would be available to consumers on the http://www.EcoGeeks.com/ website and to industrial and commercial clean up users on a BUGS website to be announced.
Robert Brehm, CEO of BUGS, commented, "The BUGS technology was successfully used on the Santa Barbara oil spill in the late 1960's and I believe there are cleanup lessons we have learned that are applicable to the Gulf Oil Spill particularly with respect to the use of oil-eating microbes for post capture oil treatment in soil and water. In the past we used surfactants and degreasers with oil spill cleanup operations and the availability of the natural products from Pacific Sands and commercially available microbe products could significantly aid the cleanup process without harmful environmental effects of conventional processes now being used. Our goal is to have simple and effective natural products that can be easily used by the consumer and by commercial cleanup crews."
Pacific Sands President, Michael Wynhoff, commented, "We are witnessing a natural disaster which challenges entrepreneurial companies like BUGS and Pacific Sands to quickly introduce new products to solve problems created by the event. It doesn't make sense to me to clean up oil contamination using chemicals that may have a worse effect on the environment. Our Natural Choices™ product line was specifically developed for consumer use and contains effective ingredients which are non-irritating to most users (including wildlife) and are environmentally friendly. We are currently formulating and testing a product specifically for cleaning oil residue form wildlife for deployment into the contaminated region."

I wouldn't be surprised to see that and higher. Looks like .01 just became the new base.
Agreed. Everyone is looking for a "green" option. The wheels are in motion. Mentions on Fox news, updates on the website, talks with the EPA. When this moves it will move quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to see a PR timed before market open and the ask open at above .03. Then depending on the news cycle and information regarding contracts I don't even know where I would lay my exit point yet.
I am glad I own part of the solution rather than the problem!
This is one I decided not to trade. I bought and will be holding as I don't want to time it wrong and miss the PR. GLTA
I agree. WTF with the PPS though?
I just got in with 100K shares. Great job on the DD guys!

I'd like to see an update soon.
thanks for the PM I forwarded it to Matt for review.
Facts are facts. A true rise in pps would have sustained a higher base, disappointed. This is an opinion board not a pump board
See you at .0005 in a week.
This /is a classic example of a pump and dump.
Yeah I hear ya. I would like to see the promoters out of this and some news.
Pretty quiet here.
I have had a 100k order in for over an hour. Only letting small block go...aggravating
You would think positive results would have been PR'd by now.
Bro I am still waiting for all those promised divis from years ago
Thanks for joining and starting a profile a few days ago to bash this stock.
I agree. bid/ask stacking, they are getting ready to run it..just need to set the pieces in motion.
Greetings boys and girls....back for another season!
Where is FF?
105K trade went pre open at .213!
Yes. 5k trade just went through at .645 a hour and a half early. Going to be another great day!
Here we go first trade .645
I like your number better!
I say we open at around .59
Agreed. No way this is retail. My guess is JPM is buying.
I believe just before the settlement is out we may open at $3-4 dollars run all day before the stock is halted and the settlement is paid. Look at the open today. I believe we are going to be over a $4 before the settlement is announced which is meant to lessen the impact to JPM shareholders.
I have thought the same for the last week when we started seeing upward movement. I think we will be trading very close to the settlement offer just before it's announced. That's why we saw such a large move in the PPS this morning. Great things here and patience has finally paid off. GLTA
It just makes sense. A settlement will be in the dollars, the PP will catch up just prior to the news of the settlement in the $$$$ range. IMO
They have to let this go, the preasure this week is going to be extreme!
I saw that too! Time to light the fuse on this rocket!
I saw that too! Time to light the fuse on this rocket!
We are trading premarket at .469
Negative. Post Seizure with buys at .05-.13.
For both pre and post seizure?
We need a damn update to get this moving again.
Already in the J's and M's
.40 up. This looks like a unstoppable train!
What's up with the .0047 trade in the premarket?
