BUGS and Pacific Sands Ready Products for Oil Spill Victims
http://bugsatwork.net/blog/home-page/news/news-releases/
Carlsbad, CA. – June 18, 2010 – U.S. Microbics (Pinksheets: BUGS), an environmental technology company and Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB: PFSD), 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 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 engages 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 formulating and testing our products as quickly as possible for deployment into the contaminated region.”

Pacific Sands, Inc. Teams With BUGS for Joint Marketing of Environmentally Friendly Products
RACINE, WI, May 10, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB: PFSD), a manufacturer of a broad range of environmentally friendly cleaning products, announced that it has signed a teaming agreement with U.S. Microbics (PINKSHEETS: BUGS) to develop joint marketing expansion, distribution and cross licensing opportunities of each company’s environmentally friendly products including the Bio-Miracle(TM), Natural Choices(TM), and ecocone(R) product lines. Both companies seek to expand the markets for their own products using each other’s distribution networks and marketing expertise.
Pacific Sands president Michael Wynhoff expanded on the new relationship by saying, “We have followed the U.S. Microbics progress over the years and always liked their products and environmental stewardship philosophy. Their Bio-Miracle(TM) products that enhance plant health using bio-rational fertilizers and microbial growth enhancers while reducing water and chemical fertilizer use, could be a natural addition to our product line and could appeal to our existing customer base. Our goal is to expand each other’s revenue through cross licensing and distribution with new and existing customers who care about the planet, their own health and the people around them.”
Robert Brehm, CEO of BUGS, commented, “I believe the Pacific Sands products are an ideal fit into newly identified markets being pursued by BUGS. With our everyday life seeming bombarded with cancer causing chemicals and pollutants, it is refreshing to find a company with eco-friendly, safe and effective alternatives for a wide variety of household and commercial cleaning solutions for consumers who care about their family’s health and want products that are safe to use around children and contain no chlorine, ammonia, alcohol or solvents. I look forward to expanding the distribution of their retail products to our health conscious data base.”
