KlimaFa/Planktos Trees Support Dell Computer's EU ''Plant A Tree For Me'' Campaign

  
    
  
  
    
      Global ecorestoration firms Planktos Corp. and Budapest subsidiary 
      company KlimaFa Ltd. are pleased to announce an agreement to become a 
      supplier of voluntary GHG offsets, carbon credits, to support Dell 
      Computer’s European “Plant 
      a Tree For Me” campaign.
    
    
      Some of the ten thousand hectares of new native species forests being 
      planted by KlimaFa in Hungary’s National Parks 
      provide the means for Dell’s customers in 
      Europe to offset the greenhouse gases associated with computer purchase 
      and use. Voluntary payments made by customers purchasing Dell computers 
      help fund the planting of the trees in the Planktos/KlimaFa European 
      Union Climate Parks Initiative. Many more EU climate carbon credit 
      buyers are expected to soon join Dell as customers for the millions of 
      tonnes of KlimaFa carbon credits.
    
    
      KlimaFa, based in Budapest, is a leading ecorestoration company working 
      to recreate native mixed species climate forest parks protected in 
      perpetuity by EU National Park system partners. Its parent company 
      Planktos is also working to restore plankton blooms, the ocean forest in 
      pelagic ocean ecosystems. The two companies produce and earn carbon 
      credits by restoring critical environments harmed when anthropogenic CO2 
      is allowed to build up in the atmosphere. Removing this CO2 from the air 
      and using it to revive and re-grow healthy living plant communities, 
      trees and seas is the greener solution to climate change. It’s 
      greener because it both removes CO2 from the air where it would further 
      harm the living planet and at the same time helps to repair a century of 
      damage done by excess CO2 to those same living trees and seas. As an 
      important pair of solutions to help mitigate global climate change, the 
      work of Planktos/KlimaFa is compliant with international and national 
      regulatory processes and subject to rigorous independent scientific 
      third-party review and approval.
    
    
      Planktos/KlimaFa worked with commodity and bonds giant Cantor Fitzgerald’s 
      subsidiary “Cantor CO2e” 
      and Carbonfund.org (Dell’s carbon offset 
      provider) to provide the benefit of its ecorestoration work, as measured 
      in the form of carbon credits, to allow Dell customers to choose the 
      Planktos/KlimaFa greener solution.
    
    
      “We are pleased to be working with these 
      world-class organizations dedicated to the common goal of restoring 
      trees and seas in the name of climate change mitigation,” 
      said Russ George, president and CEO of Planktos. “The 
      Dell program is splendid in that it leads the way for product 
      manufacturers, industries, and individuals to slow the pace of climate 
      change immediately, cheaply, and in the most eco-positive way possible.”
    
    
      Planktos is a public company traded under the symbol PLKT.ob. Its 
      dramatic recent rise in stock value is attributed to increasing 
      recognition of the impacts of global warming and climate change and 
      companies working to deliver affordable solutions. “We 
      don’t have to make a choice between 
      environmental catastrophe and economic catastrophe,” 
      said George. “Working with companies like 
      Dell, Planktos/KlimaFa offers a fantastic way for us to provide our 
      high-quality greenhouse gas mitigation products, which we produce in 
      large volumes at low cost, as the most affordable and ‘greener 
      solution’ to global climate and ocean change.”
