Unify Tulum is an eco-hub of environmentalists, biologists, and activists.
We unite people who are dedicated to the Preservation of the Environment and Indigenous Culture. We are committed to actualizing this paradigm shift and demonstrating what is possible through ordinary human efforts, in service to Mother Nature and the infinite human potential. Our focus is on water treatment, waste issues and mobility.
As humans, we are inexorably linked to the earth and each other, all a part of this magnificent symbiotic organism called life.
Game changing water cleaning technology
Cleaning polluted factory wastewater, rivers, lakes, and water plants, the natural way - by the year 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas, and by the year 2050, more than 6 billion people.
A Global Water Crisis
There is one solution only to the crisis. The natural way!
Water is essential to life. It need not be spelt out exactly how important it is. Yet water pollution is one of the most serious ecological threats we face today. Water safety and quality are fundamental to human development and well-being. Providing access to safe water is one of the most effective instruments in promoting health and reducing poverty. Water pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as cenotes , under ground rivers, oceans and so on, getting dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water or depositing on the bed. This degrades the quality of water. Not only does this spell disaster for aquatic ecosystems, the pollutants also seep through and reach the groundwater, which might end up in our households as contaminated water we use in our daily activities, including drinking.
Six water facts
- In least developed countries, 22% of health care facilities have no water service, 21% no sanitation service, and 22% no waste management service.
- 785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water.
- Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio.
- Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485.000 children under the age of five, diarrhoeal deaths each year.
- 435 million people taking water from unprotected wells and springs.
- Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.
The solution is here
In line with UN Development Goal #6: to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Water is essential to life. It need not be spelt out exactly how important it is. Yet water pollution is one of the most serious ecological threats we face today. Water safety and quality are fundamental to human development and well-being. Providing access to safe water is one of the most effective instruments in promoting health and reducing poverty. However, the solution is here. There are no better way to clean water pollution, than to let the water clean itself. The natural way!
How it works
- The first step is always to determine the type and amount of dominant pollutants in the river. laboratory tests will determine the nature and extent of the pollution.
- The second step is to set up the on-site mixing station for microorganisms activator. Microorganisms will be delivered to cenotes site in a concentrated liquid concentrationalong with small mixing installation, this will help to prepare the ready to use end product at site. A small mixing installation will be supplied. This means that on-site some processing has to take place to produce the ready end-product. The mixing plant consists of storage tanks for half-fabricates, a mixing pump, storage tanks for the end product, ready to be used.
- The third step is to maximize the dispersion of Microorganisms in the polluted water. Depending on the size, current and shape of the cenote, we choose the best tool for dispersion.
- The final step Continuing sampling and testing of the water quality is needed. The right (adjusted) amount of microorganisms and different strands will be dispersed until water target quality has been reached.

The fast-growing tourism industry increases:
- Grey waters
- Coliform-loaded black waters
- Trash volume
- Noise
- Spatial distortions
- Overfishing
- Coral reef destruction

Our Vision
Tulum is in the fortunate situation that a remediation of the existing and forthcoming damages still seems to be possible.
Our plan includes the following recommended course of remediation:
- Restore the underground clogged-up blackwater contamination with microorganisms that dissolve dirt and Fecal matter.
- Breeding methods for local microorganisms have been developed over the past 15 years, ready to be reproduced large scale.
- They are liquid and can be applied throughout the community entering the underground through the same pathways as all contaminating waste and waters.

EM* is a people-friendly and environmentally safe product of EMRO (EM Research Organization) that achieves synergistic effects by combining beneficial microorganisms which exist in nature, such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast and phototrophic bacteria. It was developed by Professor Teruo Higa in 1982. EM* activates local and native microorganisms that live in soil and water and maximizes their natural power. EM* brand represents a line of microbial products that are used in numerous fields including agriculture, animal husbandry, environmental purification and health care in more than 100 countries around the world.
EM* enhances the diversity of microorganisms. Healthy soil and clean water are maintained by the diversity and balance of the community of microorganisms within them.
