Lets bring back the native forests!

A 500 Acre property could lock up - through native species reforestation - approximately 40,000 tonnes of Carbon for around AUD$2.4 Million. With a long list of environmental benefits both for the local ecosystem, rain precipitation and air quality which includes that of the entire planet.

CO2OFFSET aims to make this happen as fast and as often as possible through our reforestation projects by restoring native forests and at the same time abating CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Rivers, Oceans and Water in crisis

Fish in the rivers in Norway are dying. It used to be a pristine environment. Air pollution moving up from Europe has greatly affected rainfall, called "acid rain", reducing quality in the rivers and killing the fish.

How Acid Rain is created video:

Even the oceans are getting acidic. The crustaceans are the first ones to die as pollution sinks to the bottom. Bottom dwelling creatures reproduction is the failing.

In the Janxi River in China the fish are floating belly up and dead in rapid and catastrophic numbers.

The ice at the Poles and Greenland is melting fast. It might be in some places two or three kilometres thick, but as it melts on top it forms lakes on top of the ice and water runs down the cracks, gets under the ice, and suddenly the whole ice mountain slides into the sea, just like a slippery cube of melting ice.

A simulation of the summer artic ice coverage of the north pole from present to 2040:

The sea levels might rise worldwide, as much as 28 metres, caused by the global-warming meltdown. This will endanger large populations who reside in the oceanic islands and those in our cities on the coasts.

One Benefit of reforestation of the Australian Interior

Siphoning water over the mountains of North Queensland & North West Australia could help transform much of the inland of Australia into a lush, fertile environment, with Australia possibly becoming an environmental superpower and exporting their increased technological know-how to countries needing such urgent assistance and the resultant prosperity for their peoples.

Benefits of Our Reforestation Projects (AKA: Some CO2 Offset Goals)

To offset dangerous levels of carbon emissions and reduce air pollution by greatly increased tree planting.

Reforesting Australia (as well as encouraging the same in other parts of the world) and by doing so, help reduce drought conditions across our land

Reforestation will assist in reducing the alarming levels of salinity which are now affecting one third of all the farmland in Australia.

Reforestation will create more jobs; distribute increased wealth to the unemployed; and help create an even more prosperous land by it becoming more productive from better rainfalls. It is a known fact that trees, as they grow, transpire increasing levels of moisture into the atmosphere, which in turn creates rain clouds. The Creator spoke to the prophet Isaiah (Chapter 41:17-21) of making "the dry land springs of water" and a variety of trees being planted in the desert and the wilderness becoming a pool of water.

Reforestation of the more arid areas of the land can be of tremendous advantage, for with growing plantations of trees, moisture is increased and retained, and the resulting shade lowers temperatures and improves the climate.

Likewise the wealthier nations of the world, especially in Europe (and elsewhere) should offset their carbon emission pollution and pay the poor and disadvantaged people of Africa, and other nations, to reforest all suitable land and retake what the creeping Sahara has swallowed up. The huge continent of Africa has much the same problem as Australia has had with drought. Their disadvantaged indigenous people, with their natural attachment and love for their lands, and with the necessary empowerment, tremendous improvements and prosperity can be generated.

Trees also help clean the air. Good health is so important, yet we now have almost two out of three getting cancer. A great, but largely unacknowledged cause of the many dreaded assorted cancers could be coming from the negative contribution into the air of millions of carcinogens to very dangerous levels by the ever-increasing volumes of traffic and their poisonous emissions into the air that we breath. The ultra small particles are the most dangerous, as small as viruses, and they go straight through the diaphragm of the lungs, and piggy-back on blood cells to all parts of the body. Hydrocarbons and other cancer-causing agents, make a deadly mixture of poisonous particles looking for a place to settle down and start growing within the human body. Hence we have an epidemic of cancer worldwide. As well as reducing traffic and emissions, which is good, attention must be given to as many traffic routes as possible being tree-lined to absorb the unhealthy carbons and emit their much-needed healthy oxygen.

One Concept to help bring more rainfall to Australia

One of our new concepts is to help bring higher rainfall to the east Australian coast, it has to do with a newly improved design of an idea that has been around for some time now.

By creating high altitude water reservoirs on high rainfall coastal mountain ranges of Australia, say in far north Queensland, and then channel that fresh water via a siphon system to the interior regions of that state (where water is needed).

This water could then be channelled towards dedicated reforestation plantations. After some years of growth these trees would eventually assist in bringing increased rainfall to their area, which would replenish and nurture further growth of even more trees, creating a renewable carbon dioxide capture system that promotes rainfall.

Farm Forestry

Co2 Offset run Joint venture Contracts with farmers and land owners in the Philippines and Australia. Co2Offset also works with restoration of land by reforestation, to combat increased salinity in Australia.

Our Efforts are looking very positive, but more is needed

In the Philippines Co2Offset is involved with a plantation where we structure forest modules of 5-6 acres. We plant trees and restore the environment through tree planting activities.

The plantation in the Philippines are located at Babatngon, Leyte c/o Runa 106 Jarco Drive Tacloban City 6500 Philippines.

We are looking for Carbon Credit and Co2offset sponsors for the Eurotrade Ltd.Co. Forest Plantation (200 HA) also in Leyte Philippines.
