We have 14 projects in 9 countries which produce Green Oil from Trees. These trees reduce poverty (we plant on marginal land and so provide better income to subsitence farmers) and because the oil is used for direct power production, biodiesel and bio-plastics, we make a very large impact to the environment by directly displacing the use of crude oil products and their associated emissions.

For more information on Oil Tree Ownership (We buy your oil every year!) and what we do, please contact us by email at makingadifference@carboncreditedfarming.com

If you want to see a community project work, see how this makes a marginalised community in Africa or Asia bond with the community efforts of people within this group as they work to bring Tree Ownership from America into the developing countries and make a difference to the world - this is how the powerful American Dream can power change....

Have a great week and lets hope you guys can help...

Australia Is in a terrible drought.
Demonstrating a way to end it
would be a good way to test and publicize the system.

Dear Carbon Farmer,

Great concept. I really like the FOX video on your site. Are you guys active yet in setting up farming in marginal communities? This would definitely be a project we'd consider. If you have photos or videos that can tell the story of how your product can assist these communities, please post these to our site so we can share this information with our members!

Dear Mike,

Very interesting concept. Do you have a company that executes this technology? I would be interested to know any side-effects of this type of weather manipulation - obviously there is a lot of good that could come from it, but what would the dangers be, and how could they be mitigated?

Please keep in touch. Also, please feel free to share any photos or video about your process with our members!

We are in start up mode now
This is very close to the normal rain cycle,
But we could could be sued for flooding
We will generally work through national governments
to reduce their infrastructure costs.

Dear Mike,
Best of luck - please do keep me posted, especially when you're ready to start doing trials of this system!

Warr Acres is a small community of about 65,000 people, and about 20,000 or less homes. It has a city hall, built in the early 1960's and is in desperate need of solar, wind, or Geo-thermal resources. Since the city hall represents the community, it is definitely the place to install modern technology and to offer grants to renovate building designs. It simply needs to be 20% larger and more able to house new firefighting equipment. The city court is small and crowded and does not have an adequate chamber for any form of board meetings. City meetings are crowded, because room is not available.
This small city needs a significant boost up and if it occurs, it will signal to Oklahoma City, just how necessary solar and other forms are to building sustainable city infrastructures. Lighting and systems next the fire station could have solar run and battery back up systems to alert drivers that the engines are coming out for a fire. Emergency lights and security systems could be enhanced by using solar panels to help reduce energy costs and promote solar use nearby. Another building that needs this technology is the Community center, that houses disabled and poor elderly people each day.
During the winter, this building is cold and not an adequate place to help the poor keep warm. Conservation improvements and solar heating with solar PV, could reduce their total costs to zero during the year.Thank You! Gregory Smith
