Description
Dr. Bremley Lyngdoh is one of the worlds most amaizing social entrepreurs. To understand best his activities we invite you to watch the video clip streamed on MTV globaly. The company describes itself as follows:
Become Carbon Neutral and participate in the Carbon Free Organic Rubber Revolution! Worldview Impact will make your green investments grow when you offset your individual or corporate carbon footprint by investing in a Sustainable Business for a Sustainable Future.
There is only one long term solution to Climate Change: we, who consume more than our equal share of the world's non-renewable resources, must reduce our consumption and production patterns and have simpler, healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. There is an urgent need for action to both neutralize carbon emissions as well as reduce poverty on a large scale globally.
We believe that by creating sustainable livelihoods for the poor, it reduces poverty and improves living conditions in the developing world. Therefore, our aim is to invest in green business opportunities at the community level starting in two pilot countries in Asia, namely Sri Lanka and India.The binding of Green House Gases (GHG) by planting of fast growing rubber trees has an immediate effect, which continues until harvesting of the trees on maturity in 30 years and thereafter by new planting. It is estimated that the amount of GHG offsetting that 10 fast growing rubber trees can provide is equal to the yearly footprint (10 tons carbon) of an average person living in Europe or North America. Based on our learning experiences in Asia, we will expand our business to Africa (Ghana) and the Americas (Colombia).
We are creating an environment where local people can actively participate in an array of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. These include carbon off-setting through planting rubber trees and other relevant activities, complimented by renewable energy technologies to support organic agriculture, fisheries, water harvesting and forestry on a sustainable level.
