Convert CO2 into Things People Need
A Profits4Life™
Initiative by Planet2025 Network in cooperation with
Trees for the Future and the Institute for Environmental Security
www.planet2025.net

Planet2025 Communities
Our Vision
Carbon, Community, Cooperation
The world is losing 25 billion trees a year and not
even one billion trees are replanted. Reforestation
projects remove and sequester CO2 from the
atmosphere; not only do they help people plant
trees and forests, they also bring participating
communities important economic and social
benefits. The world’s most degraded lands can
often be saved by converting carbon into things
people need such as food, forage, bio-fuels,
clothing, shelter, medicines, and organic fertilizer.
By doing so, carbon is returned to the soil.
The major carbon dioxide emitting economies,
their industries, and citizens are now under
increasing pressure to comply with internation-
ally evolving agreements that seek to reduce
GHGs in order to avoid the worst consequences
of climate change. Cooperation on the financing
and implementation of large scale reforestation
projects is an efficient, low cost and win-win
approach for people, organizations and countries
to jointly meet the challenge of successfully
making a peaceful transition to a globally
sustainable lifestyle.
Global Cooling, Biofuels,
Ecosystem Services, and
Profits4Life™
Planet2025 Communities convert CO2
into things people need. Our integrated
agroforestry strategy to sustainable development
— the Forest Garden approach — addresses
global climate change by planting trees on
degraded land which create sustainable livelihoods,
carbon offsets, biofuels, valuable ecosystems
services, and Profits4Life™. Its goals and objectives
will be realized by working with and linking local
communities, financiers, organizations, and people
around the world to catalyze large-scale reforest-
ation projects. Profit4Life™ generated by the initi-
ative will be reinvested into scale up and expan-
sion as part of an overall mission to help regen-
erate the planet’s life-supporting ecosystems.
Towards Billions of Trees
A Unique Approach
What makes this Profits4Life™ initiative stand
out is that is designed to:
Build on proven capacity building and training
techniques developed by our partner Trees
for the Future, a non-profit organization. For
30 years, this organization has been successfully
helping people plant trees (over 60 million of
them), then forests, that save the world’s most
degraded lands, that then enable participating
communities to create sustainable livelihoods,
and remove and sequester carbon.
Enable local communities to apply for and secure
financing for qualified reforestation initiatives
from donors, sponsors, and investors through an
online Planet2025 Communities Exchange which
matches local communities in search of
sustainable livelihoods with donors and investors
in need of carbon credits, biofuels, and
ecosystems services.
3
Provide donors, sponsors, and investors with
measurable results, including carbon credits, which
can be tracked and monitored online at any time,
including by means of advanced remote sensing
land surface data, Google Earth project coordi-
nates, and video clips. Our partner, the Institute
of Environmental Security, is a pioneer in
using remote sensing monitoring techniques to
promote conservation of ecological assets.
Reinforce a paradigm shift in sustainable
development and climate change politics that
encourages people, organizations, and nations
around the world to cooperate on meeting the
needs of the present generation without
compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs — and to do so, as
living systems in alignment with nature, so all
life will flourish.
2008 Pilot Phase
Planet2025 Communities and
its partners have identified
pilot project areas and local
communities in Ethiopia,
Haiti, the Philippines,
and Honduras. Our goal
is to plant a combined
total of 12 million trees,
removing 300,000 tons
of CO2 from the
atmosphere and
generating sustainable
livelihoods for over
45,000 families.
During implementation of the pilot projects,
actions will be undertaken to develop and
activate the online Planet2025 Communities
Exchange — which shall be used to match
local communities with donors, sponsors, and
investors internationally — to facilitate capacity
building efforts through education, training, and
e-learning as part of a franchise strategy.
Offsets4Life™
Reducing Your Lifestyle’s
Footprint Is Best —
Offset The Rest
Humanity is now consuming 30 percent more
resources than the planet is able to regenerate
annually. Unless we change our development
trajectory, humanity will need the equivalent
of two planets by the year 2050.
Our current development path and the
implicit ecological debt that will be
accumulated will not be sustainable.
All inhabitants of the planet have
a shared interest in ensuring
that the economic, environ-
mental, and human risks
associated with humanity’s
current Ecological Footprint
are pro-actively managed.
Offsets4Life™ represents a
voluntary mechanism permitting
people and organizations to catalyze
tree planting around the globe.
Convert CO2 Into Things People Need
www.planet2025.net
Take Action!
Offsets4Life™ can be purchased to help balance
your lifestyle’s footprint. The recommended
number of Offsets4Life™ one should buy is
equivalent to the number of trees required to
offset the CO2 emissions associated with one’s
lifestyle. Offsets4Life™ are usually fully deductible
from taxes. Purchased on a voluntary basis, their
cost typically averages 15 cents per tree.
Offsets4Life™ enable Planet2025 Communities
around the globe to plant trees that will absorb
carbon from the atmosphere. Planet2025 Com-
munities convert this carbon into things people
need, such as sustainable livelihoods, global cool-
ing, bio-fuels, ecosystems services (water, polli-
nation, soil restoration, food and forage, organic
fertilizer, and more), including Profits4Life™ that
will further regenerate the planet.
Humankind’s challenge is to live well within the
reality of one planet. To the extent this cannot
be realized immediately, Offsets4Life™ offer an
easy and convenient way to compensate for the
impact of one’s lifestyle on the Earth.
Be The Change!
Help catalyze the planting of billions of trees.

  • 1. Convert CO2 into Things People Need A Profits4Life™ Initiative by Planet2025 Network in cooperation with Trees for the Future and the Institute for Environmental Security www.planet2025.net
  • 2. 2 Planet2025 Communities Our Vision Carbon, Community, Cooperation The world is losing 25 billion trees a year and not even one billion trees are replanted. Reforestation projects remove and sequester CO2 from the atmosphere; not only do they help people plant trees and forests, they also bring participating communities important economic and social benefits. The world’s most degraded lands can often be saved by converting carbon into things people need such as food, forage, bio-fuels, clothing, shelter, medicines, and organic fertilizer. By doing so, carbon is returned to the soil. The major carbon dioxide emitting economies, their industries, and citizens are now under increasing pressure to comply with internation- ally evolving agreements that seek to reduce GHGs in order to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Cooperation on the financing and implementation of large scale reforestation projects is an efficient, low cost and win-win approach for people, organizations and countries to jointly meet the challenge of successfully making a peaceful transition to a globally sustainable lifestyle. Global Cooling, Biofuels, Ecosystem Services, and Profits4Life™ Planet2025 Communities convert CO2 into things people need. Our integrated agroforestry strategy to sustainable development — the Forest Garden approach — addresses global climate change by planting trees on degraded land which create sustainable livelihoods, carbon offsets, biofuels, valuable ecosystems services, and Profits4Life™. Its goals and objectives will be realized by working with and linking local communities, financiers, organizations, and people around the world to catalyze large-scale reforest- ation projects. Profit4Life™ generated by the initi- ative will be reinvested into scale up and expan- sion as part of an overall mission to help regen- erate the planet’s life-supporting ecosystems. Towards Billions of Trees A Unique Approach What makes this Profits4Life™ initiative stand out is that is designed to: Build on proven capacity building and training techniques developed by our partner Trees for the Future, a non-profit organization. For 30 years, this organization has been successfully helping people plant trees (over 60 million of them), then forests, that save the world’s most degraded lands, that then enable participating communities to create sustainable livelihoods, and remove and sequester carbon. Enable local communities to apply for and secure financing for qualified reforestation initiatives from donors, sponsors, and investors through an online Planet2025 Communities Exchange which matches local communities in search of sustainable livelihoods with donors and investors in need of carbon credits, biofuels, and ecosystems services.
  • 3. 3 Provide donors, sponsors, and investors with measurable results, including carbon credits, which can be tracked and monitored online at any time, including by means of advanced remote sensing land surface data, Google Earth project coordi- nates, and video clips. Our partner, the Institute of Environmental Security, is a pioneer in using remote sensing monitoring techniques to promote conservation of ecological assets. Reinforce a paradigm shift in sustainable development and climate change politics that encourages people, organizations, and nations around the world to cooperate on meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs — and to do so, as living systems in alignment with nature, so all life will flourish. 2008 Pilot Phase Planet2025 Communities and its partners have identified pilot project areas and local communities in Ethiopia, Haiti, the Philippines, and Honduras. Our goal is to plant a combined total of 12 million trees, removing 300,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and generating sustainable livelihoods for over 45,000 families. During implementation of the pilot projects, actions will be undertaken to develop and activate the online Planet2025 Communities Exchange — which shall be used to match local communities with donors, sponsors, and investors internationally — to facilitate capacity building efforts through education, training, and e-learning as part of a franchise strategy. Offsets4Life™ Reducing Your Lifestyle’s Footprint Is Best — Offset The Rest Humanity is now consuming 30 percent more resources than the planet is able to regenerate annually. Unless we change our development trajectory, humanity will need the equivalent of two planets by the year 2050. Our current development path and the implicit ecological debt that will be accumulated will not be sustainable. All inhabitants of the planet have a shared interest in ensuring that the economic, environ- mental, and human risks associated with humanity’s current Ecological Footprint are pro-actively managed. Offsets4Life™ represents a voluntary mechanism permitting people and organizations to catalyze tree planting around the globe. Convert CO2 Into Things People Need www.planet2025.net
  • 4. Take Action! Offsets4Life™ can be purchased to help balance your lifestyle’s footprint. The recommended number of Offsets4Life™ one should buy is equivalent to the number of trees required to offset the CO2 emissions associated with one’s lifestyle. Offsets4Life™ are usually fully deductible from taxes. Purchased on a voluntary basis, their cost typically averages 15 cents per tree. Offsets4Life™ enable Planet2025 Communities around the globe to plant trees that will absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Planet2025 Com- munities convert this carbon into things people need, such as sustainable livelihoods, global cool- ing, bio-fuels, ecosystems services (water, polli- nation, soil restoration, food and forage, organic fertilizer, and more), including Profits4Life™ that will further regenerate the planet. Humankind’s challenge is to live well within the reality of one planet. To the extent this cannot be realized immediately, Offsets4Life™ offer an easy and convenient way to compensate for the impact of one’s lifestyle on the Earth. Be The Change! Help catalyze the planting of billions of trees.
