The leaders of the G8 and G20 countries face enormous economic and environmental challenges caused by the Old Carbon Economy
On 25-27 June, the G8 and G20 summits will be held in Canada. The leaders of the G8 and G20 countries face enormous economic and environmental challenges: climate change, financial crisis and peak oil. The Millennium Development Goals look more distant than ever. Between March 2007 and March 2008, global food prices increased an average of 43 percent, according to the International Monetary Fund. Desertification puts the health of more than 1.2 billion people in more than 100 countries at risk, according to the United Nations. Recognizing the threat of biodiversity loss, The United Nations General Assembly has now declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity.The leaders of G8 and G20 are looking for economic solutions that
- make us independent of fossil fuels
- reverse climate change
- create jobs
- make our soils fertile without side effects
- solve the water shortage problem
- preserve the biodiversity of our planet
Is there such a solution?
....NewCarbon on the rise.
Yes, and the G8 and G20 delegates can immediately start to implement it.
How does it work?
Throughout the summits some 30,000 tonnes of CO2 will be emitted.
This is our message to G8 G20:
Dear G8 and G20 Delegates:
Please offset your emissions from the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits using biochar offsets. We will use biochar to return an equivalent amount of carbon to the soil and address the most urgent environmental problems of our time, including:
• soil degradation • food insecurity • climate change • public debt
• deforestation • water pollution • unemployment"
What is Biochar?
Biochar can be the New Carbon platform technology of the 21st century! The time is now to get Biochar on to the agenda of G8 and G20 Summits in Ontario,
June 25-27 2010
We want Biochar on the G8 / G20 agenda.

Help us to convince the G8 and G20 Summit delegates to offset their travel emissions with biochar.
