The Green Initiative

The Green Initiative

The Organization has as its main object offset the Greenhouse gases emitted by human activities that can range from complex industrial production processes to simply driving a car, with reforestation projects in riparian areas that need to be recovered.The trees planted will absorb carbon from the atmosphere and provide, as well others local environmental benefits, such as water and air quality preservation, and biodiversity protection.

Main Projects

Carbon Neutralization of the 8th [http://www.cop8mop3.com.br/cms/english/principal/index.php Conference of the Parties to the Biological Diversity]

The purpose of the Project done by The Green Initiative is the neutralization of the Greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions related to the realization of the COP 8 through the reforestation of a degraded riparian area in the City of Curitiba . The Project will be realized in two stages and will demonstrate in a practical way a possibility to contribute at the same time to the Biodiversity and Climate Conventions.

Carbon Free CD

The Green Initiative is the first organization in Brazil to develop a Carbon Free Album (Compact Disc). The musician Txai Brasil released his first album which is the first in Brazil to have its carbon emissions neutralized by reforesting 1 ha of riparian area in the State of São Paulo - Brazil.

The production, distribution and usage of the 3.000 copies caused an emission of 5.4 tonnes of CO2 equivalent to the atmosphere which will be absorbed by the reforestation of the riparian area. More information about this and other projects can be found at the web address below.
