Sandbags take many hours of labor to fill, are very costly and can cause environmental hazards. We believe sandbags should be outlawed!

The sandbagging method using a backhoe and thousands of volunteers involves a two to three day process to put up a dike to protect from the oncoming floods.

When the flood is over, try to find a single volunteer to remove the sandbags, which are rotting and still in place.

Also, all sandbags are contaminated with sewage, pollution, riverbank seepage, etc. These sandbags cannot just be dumped in the local landfill, but must be taken away as hazardous materials at a great expense.

Because of the cost of disposing sandbags, not to mention the lack of proper disposal areas, many sandbags are left in place or pushed back into the lake or river they were trying to protect against. These rotting sandbags can be extremely harmful for the environment, including wildlife, as they cause silting.

The quick and easy set up of the floodwater protection system takes minimal time and manpower. Then, when the floodwaters recede, the tubes can be drained within minutes, rolled up and reused again and again with no environmental damage at all. Our system is completely environmentally friendly.

The tubes can then be shipped to a local authorized distributor to be cleaned, tested, repaired if necessary, re-certified, repackaged and ready again for the next onset of floods.

Sandbags should never be allowed to be used again! Our emergency flood protection system should be as common as a chain link fence to protect our environment for generation to come.
