Hayward, CA - The leading manufacturer of artificial grass, Global Syn-Turf, Inc., announced that it has launched a special Spanish-language program designed to support Spanish speakers in the synthetic turf industry who are most comfortable interacting in Spanish. Services in the program include Spanish-language literature and knowledge transference, as well as Spanish-language audiovisual media. The company has launched the first phase of the program, and will expand its Spanish-language services throughout 2015 in several stages of updates.

According to Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Hispanics represent 43.1% of the Landscaping services industry. Global Syn-Turf is the only worldwide artificial turf manufacturer focusing on Hispanic landscapers, with services delivered in their primary language.

“U.S. Hispanics, in particular, are upwardly mobile in the landscaping industry,” said Marysol Gomez, Sales and Marketing Manager. “Further, in 2011, households with at least one Spanish-speaking worker in the landscaping industry obtained more than $18 billion in household income - that’s a lot of buying power. And this number is only increasing. Our new program was designed for this customer base, as well as for Spanish-speaking people in Latin America and all over the world. Our goal is for Global Syn-Turf to be the preeminent one-stop emporium for this population to shop for artificial grass products and receive Spanish-language artificial grass services – whenever they want. We are thrilled to fill the hole in this market by launching this Spanish-language program, and are just as excited about other new products and services coming down the pipeline throughout 2015.”

The first phase of Global Syn-Turf’s program launches today with the publication of Spanish-language literature, including artificial grass installation and instruction manuals, which can be accessed on their website at GlobalSynTurf.com. In addition to Spanish-language literature immediately available on the web, Spanish-language services and knowledge dispensation are currently available at all of Global Syn-Turf’s warehouses and locations. Other services, including video aids, are projected for release in updates throughout 2015.

Commenting on recent major developments in the green industry, Marysol Gomez said, “Recently we’ve seen similar announcements from other green industry companies, confirming the explosive market for Spanish-language services and products. The green industry is receptive to, and built to accommodate, innovative and progressive movements from firms, and this program is poised to make Global Syn-Turf quickly become a premier, one-stop worldwide artificial grass destination for Spanish speakers. Our customer base is very diverse, so it’s logical for our products and services to adapt accordingly.”

Bila kita mengenal sekaligus merasakan minuman dan makanan yang dijual oleh took-toko Khusus ataupun tukang-tukang makanan dari asal /rasa makanan dan minuman yang rasanya manis yang sering kita jumpai , mungkin pikiran kita (pemirsa) hanya tertuju pada “Gencarnya” media menyikapi tentang keberadaan gula “abal-abal” pemanis buatan para pakar Industri yang menciptakan pemanis yang dinamakan “Gula” dengan sebuah campuran bahan berbahaya bagi kesehatan yang dibikin para pengusaha (Industri Pemanis Buatan) karena berbagai alasan memenuhi pasar yang “susah” menemukan dan memproduksi Asal mula Rasa manis itu tercipta yang berasal dari bahan alamiah dan tidak menimbulkan efek bagi kesehatan, bahkan cendrung Gula yang dimaksudkan itu akan jadi Obat Alamiah bagi ketahanan tubuh manusia itu sendiri.
Perlu diketahui dulu bahwa pemanis yang bernama Gula Merah yang dibuat oleh tangan-tangan traditional yang berasal dari keberadan Pohon Enau yang hanya bisa hidup dikampung-kampung atau dilereng-lereng gunung itu telah langka ditemukan keberadaan pohonnya yang masih produktif dan Pohon yang masih Muda dan masih bisa menghasilkan “*lahang” (*cikal bakal bahan yang dibuat gula merah) yang banyak dan bermutu.
Karena seiring zaman pula para petani pembuat Gula Merah yang punya rasa alamiah dan terjamin keasliannya tersebut telah langka menemukan pohon enau (Bahasa Sundanya- Tangkal Kawung) , karena keberadaan pohon enau tersebut tumbuh alamiah dan belum dilakukan penanaman oleh tangan manusia (secara Industri Khusus Menanam dan membudidayakan pohon enau yang dimaksud) . Dan ternyata pohon itu hanya bisa tumbuh dan berkembang biak oleh Hewan yang bernama Musang.

Cerita Nyata Keterkaitan Pohon Enau dan *maaf (Tahi-Tai atau Tae) Hewan Yang Bernama Musang;

Ketahuilah dulu ; Bahwa hewan yang bernama musang itulah “Sang Pengembangbiak” (Mesin Tanam) Pohon Enau tersebut.
Terkabarkan bahwa Musang itu adalah pemakan *Buah Caruluk (*buah pohon enau) yang telah tua (buah caruluk yang telah matang) , lalu bijinya yang kuat menyerupai “batu bacan hitam” itu tidak bisa dicerna oleh Pencernan sang Musang tersebut , karena bijinya tidak bisa dicerna oleh Penceraan Binatang yang bernama Musang tersebut , maka suka dikeluarkan lagi (Biji Buah caruluk ) tersebut dari pantatnya sang Musang dimanapun dia mau melakukan .
Kita sebutkan saja bahwa Pohon Enau itu tumbuh dari “Beraknya” (*maaf Tai Musang) yang dimaksud.
Lalu Seiring zaman pula habitat Musang itu kini telah hampir langka ditemukan bahkan terkabarkan hampir punah , karena seiring zaman pula “plus” sebab- musabannya karena sang Musang terkabarkan suka makan Ayam-ayam penduduk warga Pedesaan juga , karena sebab itulah habitat Hewan bernama Musang itu kini berkurang karena keberadaannya selalu diburu untuk dibunuh oleh Warga Kampung.
Revolusi dan Evolusi kehidupan kadang-kadang misteri dan menarik bila disimak lebih jauh lagi , sebab (Musababnya) telah langkanya Pohon Enau Cikal bakal Keberadaan Gula Merah/Aren itulah salah satu penyebab berkurangnya Petani Pembuat Gula Merah didaerah-daerah Potensi penghasil Gula Merah yang penulis maksudkan.

Namun jangan khawatir atas telah Langkanya petani pembuat gula merah tersebut, sampai kini mereka tetap ada dan Eksis bareng –bareng hidup diantara Kehidupan kita yang modern ini , dengan sebuah bukti nyata kitapun masih bisa melihat keberadaannya “Tumpukan Gula-gula Merah” yang berkhasiat bagi kesehatan manusia itu dipasar-pasar Traditioanal ataupun dipasar-pasar Modern sekalipun.
Walau tertedengar secara Jelas oleh penulis bahwa Kehidupan para Petani Pembuat Gula (langka) itu belum berubah “Mengarah” ke-Kehidupan yang lebih baik , karena Produck Hebat yang mereka buat itu hanya dihargai dengan harga yang Murah dipasaran dan belum bisa mengangkat harkat derajat kehidupan Mereka yang sesungguhnya.

Berikut Rincian tulisan (Proses dan manfaatnya) pembuatan Gula Merah tersebut ;

Defenisi Gula Kawung (Gula Merah/Aren) ;
Gula itu dibuatnya dari “lahang” (Intisari dari Pelepah Buah Caruluk “Buah aren tersebut” dengan hasil disadap dari pohon Aren/Enau lalu Dicitak dengan memakai bamboo khusus yang dibundarkan untuk menghasilkan Gula “ ganduan” (Gula Merah yang berbentuk Bulat) Juga Gula merah itu identik dengan bungkusan yang dibuat dari daun Kelapa yang dianyam.
