In this brief (3 min 4 sec) audio snippet, Charlie Williams and Ben Henneke of Clean Air Action explain exactly what happens with the revenue generated through the sale of carbon credits (from TIST reforestation projects in Africa and India) here on Grow Clean Air. This is part of the effort to set a precedent for transparency in the carbon market amongst retailers of carbon credits as well as from the programs that generate these credits.
One of the amazing parts of Clean Air Action's revolutionary carbon model is the concept of the participants in the TIST Program (farmers) being partners in the venture, eventually receiving 70% of the revenue generated from the sale of bona fide credits to the international market!

In this brief (2 min 18 sec) audio snippet, Ben Henneke of Clean Air Action explains the main ways that co2 is created by humans as well as some of the environmental benefits of buying carbon offsets.
Trees are one of the most effective, natural ways to absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen (o2). Grow Clean Air markets carbon credits created through TIST Programs in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) and India, which are empowered by the Institute for Environmental Innovation (I4EI).
Grow Clean Air Markets TIST Carbon Credits
Grow Clean Air markets carbon credits generated by The International Small Group Tree Planting Program. These credits are quite unique.
Here is a snippet from the TIST Website:
TIST empowers Small Groups of subsistence farmers in countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and India to reverse the devastating effects of deforestation, drought, and famine. Since 1999, TIST participants have been identifying local sustainable development goals that include tree planting and sustainable agriculture. TIST creates a communication and administrative structure that also addresses health (including HIV/AIDS), education, and nutririon. TIST expects to provide long-term revenue for the Small Group participants through the sale of greenhouse gas credits (GhG).
Grow Clean Air markets carbon credits created by TIST in order to allow people worldwide to simultaneouly achieve two main goals:
- offset carbon footprints
- contribute to worldwide sustainable living
Of course, when you offset your carbon footprint at Grow Clean Air, you are doing much more than that! Find out how.
TIST has been around for nearly a decade, and the farmers at the root of the program are currently planting over 8,000 trees per day! We think these outstanding results need to be expanded, and are determined to make the connection from consumer purchases to farmer benefits as transparent and openly honest as possible.
