Carbon offsetting and solar ovens

Saturday, February 21, TEO and TERAO (Office of Environmental Studies) gathered to launch the first carbon offset project :

ovens sun in Morocco.

This is a cooking green, simple, very economical, without electricity or fossil. A solar oven allows a family to save every day 11 kg of wood for cooking his meals (ref. "View from Heaven" on FR2).

It also helps prevent desertification which usually takes place when the people cleared the land. This causes a degradation of vegetation to erosion of topsoil, which is the underlying rock exposed.

It is therefore imperative that residents have enough sunlight to benefit from high performance equipment.

TEO France now committed to train these people to teach them to create their own solar ovens using materials recycled.

This will both reduce costs and enhance the autonomy of the village and the local economy.

TERAO is empowered to make carbon footprint since June 28, 2008 and got a carbon footprint of its activities in 2008: the company's emissions are 62 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Invitation Wording Responsible For Own Bill

Earth Hour

The year 2009 is a decisive year for our planet. It is in the next twelve months that will decide the political fight against global climate change for decades to come. The scientific consensus of the IPCC meeting in Paris in 2007 reminded us of the urgency of the implementation of comprehensive policies to limit 2 ° warming in the 21st century.

WWF has decided to launch an international campaign with a highlight March 28, 2009 which provides reach in over 1000 cities, nearly one billion people who will make the symbolic gesture of turning off their lights for one hour .

To date, 62 countries including France, not less than 74 cities, including Cape Town, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dubai, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Las Vegas, Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow , Nashville, Oslo, Rome, San Francisco, Singapore, Sydney, Toronto and Warsaw have already committed to extinguish their light Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 20:30 to 21:30.

Plant a tree for Earth

"Planting a tree in a garden in a park in the countryside, forest, is a simple, accessible to everyone," said UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner. But this action repeated a billion times leave a footprint in the long term. "

Many associations have mobilized to educate citizens to plant trees on every continent. In the top three countries farmers can find with Ethiopia over 700 million trees planted, followed by Mexico with 217 million and Turkey with 150 million.

The initiative continues beyond the billion initially targeted. To do this, needless to go across the world. Several French associations organize days of planting trees on the national territory.

On 1 March 2009 for example, NAFA (National Association of foresters) and The Earth Organization (Earth Association) merge to make plantations replenished in the sinks of Villers-Cotterets in Picardy located on the former WWTP.

plants will be provided by ANAF notably from their nursery school located in the Chateau de la Ferte Milon Potel, specializing in horticulture and arboriculture. Children and parents will be present to learn any thing essential to reduce the amount of CO ² in the atmosphere: plant a tree.

'Overall, a home emits 16.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year to meet its needs. The household energy consumption accounts for 47% of national consumption, "says Noelle Saugout, president of France and TEO author of Caring for the Earth: 365 green behavior in everyday life. "What better way to start with a simple and fun action to offset our carbon emissions? "

ANAF is an association fighting against global warming and TEO (The Earth Organization), founded by Lawrence Anthony famous for having saved the Baghdad Zoo during the war in Iraq, aims to protect biodiversity.
