 Carbon Brake
CarbonBrake works with some of the most disadvantaged villages in West Africa and elsewhere. The livelihoods of these communities are wholly based on
agriculture which is becoming increasing difficult due to the changed weather patterns, as the global climate changes. Reforesting areas of their land, no
longer productive, offers employment and alternative livelihoods in addition to sequestering carbon dioxide form the Earth’s atmosphere, which benefits everyone.
CarbonBrake is therefore delighted to partner with the Green Earth Appeal, part of the United Nation Environment Programme’s Billion Tree Campaign.

"Food & Trees for Africa (FTFA) welcomes the good greening work of Green Earth Appeal. As a United Nations Environment Programme partner (FTFA's founder
was a winner of the Sasakawa Climate Change Award in 2008 and FTFA contributes to the Plant for the Planet campaign) we look forward to planting trees donated
through Green Earth Appeal for the disadvantaged communities of South Africa for carbon offset and to provide all the many benefits that these trees will bring
to these degraded and denuded areas."

 Sponsor Trees
Through sponsortrees.com trees are planted in developing countries, predominantly on the continent of Africa. They plant both Indigenous trees in open degraded and
community land, and give fruit trees directly to desperate families. Their trees provide both social and economic benefits to the local communities, but also environmental
benefits to our global environment. Trees in tropical (hot) environments, can absorb up to 3 times as much carbon dioxide, encourage surrounding growth and home lots of wildlife.

 Plant A Tree In Africa
Plant a Tree in Africa (PATIA) wishes to make a significant contribution to the alleviation of poverty and the improvement of the natural environment by:
- supporting campaigns to challenge unjust systems which contribute to poverty and environmental destruction (e.g. Make Poverty History)
- entering into ongoing partnerships with like-minded organisations, groups and individuals in pursuit of this aim
- building the capacity of partners and local community groups. PATIA does not see this as a one-way process and expects to also be on the receiving end of such capacity building.
- providing practical support for poverty alleviation projects/activities.
PATIA adopts a motivating and enabling role in its approach which:
- supports local organisations helping poor people to set up their own projects thus avoiding as much as possible the need for foreign 'experts' and volunteers
- understands that development policies imposed on a community, without proper consultation and active involvement of the people, can frequently compound the problems of the poorest
- empowers people to actively engage in solving the challenges they face, rather than to create a dependency mentality, which may stifle sustainable development
- recognises the importance of sensitivity towards, and understanding of, local social and cultural traditions, and on the other, the benefits that can accrue to the community by simply providing the means to acquire knowledge that other communities have found helpful in their developmental activities
- encourages partner organisations in developing countries, which are currently seen as receivers of aid, to provide aid to other partners in the network and even, in the longer term, help poor communities in the ‘rich’ world.
