"While we don't know with perfect certainty what baby Boroka's carbon footprint will be (her CO2 emissions for life) we've used benchmarks from multiple agencies to calculate the amount, a mere 416 tonnes requiring about 300 trees to be planted on her behalf," says Dr. David Gazdag, managing director of Budapest's KlimaFa.
In a few weeks' time trees to create baby Boroka's forest will be planted into the new KlimaFa 10,000 hectare climate forest protected forever by the rangers of Bukk National Park. Her trees will grow next to those planted to offset the Vatican's emission. Additional trees in the project are part of the Dell Computer 'Plant a Tree For Me' campaign. According to Gazdag, this is the first of many 'climate forests' the company intends to create throughout the EU as a powerful tool to mitigate global climate change. Her father, Gergely, a research scientist at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, assisted in forestry research necessary to prepare for this planetary first aid project.
While we expect little Boroka to live an eco-aware life minimizing her energy use and consumable wastes, with these seedling trees Boroka's entire life will be green for certain. The carbon dioxide her lifestyle generates is no longer destined to create global warming and ocean acidification. Instead that carbon dioxide will be breathed in by native oak and beech trees to help them grow and slow global climate change. Boroka's forest will make Europe a better place for her to grow and live and over time do the same for her children and generations to come. "What is amazing and heartening about these baby sized numbers is that they are not so large as to be prohibitively costly," says Russ George Planktos CEO. "With just 300 trees the future of Boroka's, countless forest creatures, and all of us is made greener for a lifetime. We really can save the world one baby step at a time."
KlimaFa is a subsidiary of Planktos Corp., a public company (OTCBB:PLKT). Engaging in global eco-restoration projects to revive dwindling forests and ocean plankton ecosystems the companies harness the power of green plants and photosynthesis to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Its climate forests in the European National Parks and ocean plankton restoration blooms are intended to produce carbon offsets for sale into both regulated and voluntary climate change markets in the EU and around the world.
