our mission

Introduction

CarbonPlanet is a passion venture.

Our mission is to make a significant positive contribution to the global environment, whilst simultaneously providing uplift to impoverished communities in developing countries.

In this section we offer a sequence of articles that are intended to introduce you to the subject of carbon sequestration.

These articles are designed to be read in sequence, but you can skip between them using the mission link in the main menu.

If you have any questions, please do get in touch, we are more than happy to walk you through the whole process.
