The Carbon Credit/Carbon Sequestration Movement

The Carbon Credit/Carbon Sequestration Movement Remineralization for forests as a part of carbon sequestration projects offers a tremendous opportunity to remineralize through large scale projects worldwide and to begin to stabilize the climate (in combination with other worthwhile strategies, of course). A study in the Research section of our website shows 4 times the timber volume of a spruce forest over a 24 year period. One application lasted for 60 years. If you are a frequent flyer, commuter, or would simply like to offset your personal carbon emissions, you ...
