Video on TIST Program: I4EI and Clean Air Action's Environmental Innovations for Sustainable Reforestation in Africa and India
This video explains in a concise manner how the TIST Program began, its innovations for sustainable reforestation in Africa, some history on Small Groups and more.
You can support the TIST Program by offsetting your carbon footprint on Grow Clean Air and donations to plant trees in Africa and India for $1 each with I4EI!

In this brief (2 min 42 sec) Ben Henneke (Clean Air Action) and Vannesa Henneke (I4EI) explain some of the things that make the TIST Program unique.
Three main points are highlighted:
1) TIST is perhaps the most effective carbon project in the world thanks to its revolutionary model for collecting data and presenting it transparently online.
2) TIST is perhaps the only carbon project in the world where you can actually see results as they happen. It is certainly the most transparent program currently in operation.
3) The Small Groups involved in the TIST Program verifiably receive the benefits (local and monetary) for their work.

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).
