Make 2011 a Sucess for your Pocket as well as Earth Positive !!
We have launched a system for trade of Carbon Credits. I am
looking for leaders as well as people that want to make a good income
while helping the rain forests and developing countries to retain a
healthy and long lasting economy.

Carbon credits are a key component of national and international
emissions trading schemes that have been implemented to mitigate global
warming. They provide a way to reduce greenhouse effect emissions on an
industrial scale by capping total annual emissions and letting the
market assign a monetary value to any shortfall through trading. Credits
can be exchanged between businesses or bought and sold in international
markets at the prevailing market price. Credits can be used to finance
carbon reduction schemes between trading partners and around the world.
There are also many companies that sell carbon credits to commercial
and individual customers who are interested in lowering their carbon
footprint on a voluntary basis. These carbon offsetters purchase the
credits from an investment fund or a carbon development company that has
aggregated the credits from individual projects. The quality of the
credits is based in part on the validation process and sophistication of
the fund or development company that acted as the sponsor to the carbon
project. This is reflected in their price; voluntary units typically
have less value than the units sold through the rigorously-validated
Clean Development Mechanism.
Specialties:
A 'carbon credit', sometimes referred to as an offset, is a permit to
emit a specified amount of greenhouse gases, usually expressed in
metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). 'Carbon credits' are
named after the most prominent greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, but can
represent other warming gases.
Credits can be allocated by a government as part of a plan that sets a
limit on the total amount of CO2 that may be emitted in that
jurisdiction, in what generally referred to as a cap-and-trade system.
Companies may be awarded a number of permits, and must emit only as much
GHG for which they have permits. Carbon credits can be earned through
projects that reduce emissions, or by companies that cut their own
emissions and thereby free up credits they possess for trading. Carbon
markets exist wherein which companies may purchase and sell credits.
