Project Overview

1 TON CO2 10.000 TREES PROJECT overview of the problem and the solution

Permaculture

Permaculture - the idea, practice and global and local success

Ethics: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share Perennial Polyculture i.e. food forests,

ecological argriculture, organic "On one level, permaculture deals with plants, animals, buildings,

infrastructures (water, energy, communications). However, permaculture is not about these elements themselves, but rather about the relationships we can create between them by the way we place them in the landscape."

– founder Bill Mollison, 1991.Introduction to Permaculture” (p. 1).

Climate Change

Climate Change - the massive catastrophic problem

Carbon sink

Carbon sink - a new category for locking, permanently ecology as carbon sinks in forest and soil

New global land-use category is Carbon Sink

More than 10,000 TREES per. person per. lifetime

More than 10,000 TREES per. person per. lifetime - a requirement for local-global perennial polycultural replanting

Less than 1 TON CO2 pr. person pr. year

Less than 1 TON CO2 pr. person pr. year - global energy descent and emissions reductions targets

1 tonne per lifeyear (per person) quota of carbon emissions, after which a carbon tax

carbon tax of 100 euro per tonne all companies and international transport pay

100 euro per tonne carbon markets & carbon trading are stopped

U.N. Climate Conference 2009

The U.N. Climate Conference 2009 / COP 15- the failure of the official process, danger of carbon finance

Klimaforum09

Parallel activist and grassroots Conference - Klimaforum as user-centered permaculture design

Permaculture network

The Permaculture network - massively expanding a global, democratic, locally-controlled permaculture network

100 Euro / Ton Carbon Tax

carbon tax of 100 Euro per tonne all companies and international transport pay

100 euro per tonne i.e. no quota carbon markets & carbon trading are stopped carbon tax spent on perennial polyculture

(permaculture) style forestry programs

Permaforestry

carbon tax spent on perennial polyculture (permaculture) style forestry programs

perennial polyculture and soil become carbon sinks

local permaculture groups implement 10 000 trees program, expanding existing permaculture institutes from a few hundred into the 10s of thousands

if 5000-7000 trees can be planted per person in the next 25 years we can stablise extreme climate change

Soil & Tree Carbon Sinks

best means to take c02 (GHG) from the atomosphere is not technical means, it is trees

Most carbon is sequestered (trapped) in soil, partly in trees
