The reality of modern life is that everything has a carbon footprint. The rest of the mission statement is in reality a vision statement. It is certainly in line with the organization's beliefs and principles, but it makes it difficult to isolate what the actions of the organization are.
This is why it is important to offset it.
In Carbonica we don't believe in emission credits or permissible levels of carbon emissions.
We believe that the only acceptable level of emissions is zero.
We also believe that trees are the only true carbon offset and Nature's very efficient method of carbon capture.
We would like to help people like you make a difference, and with Carbonica you can become a zero footprint individual and make a positive contribution to the environment.
This mission statement exhibits the opposite problem from the earlier example; it is exhaustive, but it is neither brief nor efficient. It does make clear what services the organization gives (planting trees), but it does not specify how the organization accomplishes that objective until the sixth paragraph: "Our mission is to plant trees and fund multi-story cropping and programmes of tropical forest preservation on as large a scale as possible."
It is clear from the visionary language of the mission statement that the scope of the organization's agenda is global, but the statement does not give any practical geographic boundaries for its operations, nor does it reveal where the organization is based. In fact, Carbonica is a British organization based in London whose primary theater of

If I were to change this mission statement, I would shorten it considerably. I would identify Carbonica as an international organization based in London. I would delete most of the allusions to the history of global warming and the group's attitude towards carbon credits. Instead, I would include the principles that guide their actions in the statement of the actions themselves: "Because we believe that the only effective means of counteracting the devastating effects of global warming is large-scale reforestation, our mission is to plant trees -- as many as possible and as quickly as possible -- and to work to stop agricultural practices that involve stripping the rain forests."
Brazilian Rain Forest. There are four references used for this paper. The world is filled with a variety of climates, each with its own type of habitants. It is interesting to examine the Brazilian Rain Forest and determine the life style and sustainability of the rare and exotic animals that live there. Understanding the Rain Forest Brazil is the home to almost half of the Amazon basin. The "river and forest system
Global warming, natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, and our quality of resources like air and water are all controversial topics today. Many people say that the benefits of industry and exploration outweigh the environmental costs, like fewer rain forests or the extinction of species. Others say that these environmental resources ought to be conserved, even if it means scaling back industrial operations like mining, logging, or production. And
It was then important to see the degree at which technology and training played a role in combating each fire. 1.2.4.Rationale of the Study What is that can be gained from this study? The reasoning behind such a study is born out of a need to provide better training for fire fighters so that fire management systems will improve and reduce the amount of loss due to the fire. By studying
..for them it is a good world" (Turnbull 14). And although small in stature, Turnbull writes, they are able to kill elephants single-handed with only a short handled spear and blend so well with the forest foliage that one could pass right by without noticing them. Turnbull relates the BaMbuti customs, such as marriage rites, rituals and celebrations. His accounts of these people rings a magically encounter. Turnbull is so taken by
Forests Conservation Forest Conservation Global warming has become a hot topic since last few decades and there have been continuous efforts in understanding its causes and drastic consequences over the environment. It is a simple term that relates to the increase in the temperature of the earth which affects the entire world equally. Global warming has advanced dramatically with the increase in the use of the hydrocarbons, excess burning of fossil fuels
Some plants have very specific requirements for light; too much or too little sunshine will kill them. 5. Low Fecundity: Species produces few offspring. Note: species which care for their young either before birth (long pregnancy) and/or afterwards have fewer offspring than those who do not. 6. High Human Value: Species has characteristics that make it valuable to humans. Many animals have been hunted to endangerment, or even extinction, for their beautiful
