Grow Clean Air: How TIST Program Upholds Unprecedented Transparency in the Carbon Trading Market

Mon, 06/09/2008 - 19:19 — small world servers

This just in from Grow Clean Air:

Listen to this snippet on Grow Clean Air.

In this brief (2 min 42 sec) Ben Henneke (Clean Air Action) and Vannesa Henneke (I4EI) explain some of the things that make the TIST Program unique.

Three main points are highlighted:

1) TIST is perhaps the most effective carbon project in the world thanks to its revolutionary model for collecting data and presenting it transparently online.

2) TIST is perhaps the only carbon project in the world where you can actually see results as they happen. It is certainly the most transparent program currently in operation.

3) The Small Groups involved in the TIST Program verifiably receive the benefits (local and monetary) for their work.

Offset your carbon footprint at Grow Clean Air.

Featured Resource

The BBC has recently updated its BBC Languages resources! The new look and features are a considerable upgrade, making it easier to see all the resources available and get learning the languages you want to learn.

BBC Languages has always been a great place to access self-contained beginner courses in Chinese, German, Greek, French, Italian and Portuguese. There are also tidbits and goodies in other languages.

Recently, the BBC has revamped it's entire website for more flexibility, personalization and ease of use. In the languages section, this means it's easier than ever to find online courses, grammar info, learning games, dictionaries, self-assessment tests, resources for tutors, info about going abroad, photos, tips, stories, audio, video, related links, local class finder, cool/slang words and phrases, etc. It's all there and packed with good content!

Language Factoid

Approximately 375 million people speak English as their first language. English today is probably the third largest language by number of native speakers, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. However, when combining native and non-native speakers it is probably the most commonly spoken language in the world.

Factoid thanks to Wikipedia.

Why to Buy Your Carbon Credits from Grow Clean Air (GrowCleanAir.com)

Fri, 06/06/2008 - 19:36 — small world servers

Not only does Grow Clean Air make it easy and transparent to purchase carbon credits to offset whatever you need, they also keep up a steady flow of info on their website to inform customers and anyone interested in just exactly how everything in the TIST Reforestation Project works from start to finish.

Listen to the audio snipcast here.

In this brief (3 min 4 sec) audio snippet, Charlie Williams and Ben Henneke of Clean Air Action explain exactly what happens with the revenue generated through the sale of carbon credits (from TIST reforestation projects in Africa and India) here on Grow Clean Air. This is part of the effort to set a precedent for transparency in the carbon market amongst retailers of carbon credits as well as from the programs that generate these credits.

One of the amazing parts of Clean Air Action's revolutionary carbon model is the concept of the participants in the TIST Program (farmers) being partners in the venture, eventually receiving 70% of the revenue generated from the sale of bona fide credits to the international market!

Visit Grow Clean Air and offset your carbon footprint!

Offset Your Carbon Footprint and Help Sustainable Farming Develop in Africa and India

Fri, 05/16/2008 - 17:41 — small world servers

I have been involved with the launch of a Drupal-powered website for a project called Grow Clean Air. This website is the latest incarnation of an effort that has been going on for nearly a decade to simultaneously reduce the global carbon footprint and empower farmers in Africa and India with sustainable agriculture and health practices.

The main things you can do at Grow Clean Air are:

Simultaneously Offset Your Carbon Footprint and Empower Communities in Africa and Asia to Change Their World and Yours
Demand more transparency from the exploding carbon market!
Discover the Facts about the Exploding Carbon Market
Offset your carbon (CO2) footprint by purchasing credits from India and Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda)
Find a List of Recommended Carbon Calculators

I guess they sum it up nicely on the site:

Don't simply offset your emissions when, at no extra cost, you can also visibly...

* be active in supporting sustainable community agriculture for developing countries in Africa and Asia
* contribute to the continued development of one of the most unique forestation projects in the world
* show your family and friends the live, up-to-the-minute results of where your intelligent money is working for them and for you
* empower focused and dedicated Small Groups in developing countries to create a brighter future on a local and global scale
* increase food quality standards for tens of thousands of participants in four countries (India, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda)
* feel good every time you read our latest newsletter or visit our site and discover what you have helped build
* do your part to make sure your children's children's children can breathe clean air

We deliver real results to you and the communities we work with, plain and simple.

The TIST Project, which actually empowers people to grow the trees and share the Best Practices in Small Groups, was started by Clean Air Action and is aided by The Institute for Environmental Innovation.

Grow Clean Air makes these credits available online for the consumer market in an effort to increase the overall positive impact of the TIST Program, allowing people around the world to quickly and easily offset their carbon footprint.

Very cool! If this interests you, find out why Grow Clean Air is a step ahead of the rest!

P.S. The reason this article is here is that Small World Servers is proud to temporarily host GrowCleanAir.com!
