Welcome to the Ei Newsletter
What an exciting late summer and fall!
Ei’s name segued to Earth Impact, the Era of Regeneration closed, the Era of Impact began, and the business model evolved via Ei Educates.
Additionally, a prominent new advisor joined the Ei Advisory Council.
In mid-October, the Lambda Alpha International Fl Suncoast Chapter charter was approved; Ei Founder & CEO Holly Elmore serves as the founding chapter president.
The Ei Newsletter is a powerful communication vehicle with the Summer Newsletter achieving a nearly 50%-open rate!
Indeed, Ei continues to thrive and lives the tagline, Regeneration in ACTION!

On July 11, 2024, Elemental Impact Founder & CEO Holly Elmore signed the trademark-transfer documents and released the use of Elemental Impact to an independent third party. Signing the documents was Holly's final act as Elemental Impact Founder & CEO.
Immediately upon execution of the trademark-transfer documents, Ei stepped into an evolved persona, Earth Impact!
The Ei legal entity remains the same, with an amendment with the Georgia Secretary of State for the name change to Earth Impact. Thank you to Ei General Counsel Greg Chafee, partner with Thompson Hine, for your unwavering guidance and support through the trademark-transfer negotiations and legalities.
The Ei site was overhauled with new navigation, updated pages, new pages. As it documents Ei's important work since the 2010 inception, the Ei site is cumbersome with nearly 100 pages and over 300 downloadable documents. Thank you to Jonathan Beacher of Atlanta Website Design for your commitment and dedication to relaunching the Ei site.
The RiA article, Introducing Earth Impact!, gives additional details on the trademark transfer and new professional adventures.

With perfect timing, the Elemental Impact-trademark transfer marked the end of the Era of Regeneration and the entry into the Era of Impact!
Ei Eras flow within seven-year cycles: Era of Recycling Refinement (2010 inception - June 2017,) Era of Regeneration (June 2017 - June 2024,) and Era of Impact (June 2024 - June 2031.)
Thus, the Era of Impact emerged as the Ei business model evolved away from projects, pilots, and initiatives and to Ei Educates.
Incorporated within the Ei Educates-business model, Ei embraces three focus areas/concepts: Collective Consciousness, Soil & Water: the foundation of life, and What We Eat Matters.
The RiA Magazine article, Era of Impact, welcomes the Era of Impact and gives a synopsis of the prior eras.

The Macro Cost of Micro Contamination
|
|
|
|
| |
Micro-level-plastic contamination yields tremendous hidden costs to communities, the environment, and food-chain systems. Though often not seen by the human eye, fragmented microplastic pieces are poisons in our soils | water microbial communities as well as to fish, mammals, birds and most all life forms.
During the Ei website refresh, the Macro Cost of Micro Contamination page was updated for the human-health implications. The RiA article, The Macro Cost of Micro and Nanoplastics, is a current edition of a 2016 article documenting the groundbreaking Ei Hosted Panel at the National Zero Waste Business Conference.

The second half of the 2024 hurricane season was brutal to Florida's Gulf Coast: three hurricanes - Debby, Helene, and Milton - made landfall in two months, with Helene and Milton less than two weeks apart.
Ei global offices reside in Holly's Sarasota home, located three miles inland from Sarasota Bay. Sarasota is on the Central Gulf Coast 50-miles south of Tampa and was directly impacted by the three hurricanes.
With their own personality and parameters, Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton arrived in and left the Sarasota region with unique damage and destruction.
- Debby, a rain event
- Helene, a storm-surge event
- Milton, a wind event
The RiA article, Hurricane Trilogy, offers additional details on the hurricanes, discusses the Old Florida charm that was lost or survived, and gives a synopsis of how the Ei Rewilding Urban Landscapes Pilots fared through the storms.
