In this way we hope to make some small difference for the future generations.

Green-A-Planet is also committed through positive action to bring about a more sustainable and quality lifestyle on our planet for future generations. Our commitment is also to provide opportunities to underprivileged communities through upliftment programmes associated with protection and creation of forest environments.

We currently employ previously unemployed disadvantaged woman from the local community who are involved in working on an incentive basis.

Because of our involvement in the mining industry for a long period of time, Green-a-Planet is hoping to get involved in rehabilitation of previously mined areas and would do this in conjunction with Reharvest who have access to large earthmoving equipment as well as recycled waste in the form of nutrient rich composts and soils.

Every minute, 24 hectares of forests are being destroyed worldwide – we are simply not planting trees fast enough to cancel out the frightening effects and consequences of this devastation to our planet.

The earths vegetation is a vital factor in the storage of carbon. Unlike animals and humans, which breath oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, plants, in the presence of sunlight, consume carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, storing carbon as they grow.

Shrinking Forests
The escalating loss of some 14,2 million hectares of tropical forest a year is a major concern for two reasons : as forests are destroyed, the carbon stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere, and the loss of the trees means a loss of habitat and the biodiversity depending upon it. Most of the losses come from Asia, South America and central and western Africa. The world’s forests sequester an estimated 283 gigatons of carbon in their biomass. But, when the total plant biomass of forests (deadwood, litter & soil) is calculated the figure rises to about one trillion tonnes – half as much again as the total carbon content of the atmosphere.
