Goal: To plant many trees as much as we can. Earthsphere has a program in five years and every five years thereafter to provide oxygen, at least for the Pacific rim and hopefully the whole world as well. Part of our goal is to equalize the emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other harmful Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by heavy manufacturing industries. If sustained, the project could serve as "breathing apparatus" that could help prevent further destruction of ozone layers and will help restrain the "global warming" and the " green house effect " that our planet is confronted with.

Every man today is responsible for generating carbon emissions - through the gas they use in their vehicles, during the manufacturing process of products they make, or by the papers they consume, and many others. While we often take these activities for granted, they are some of the many factors leading to the Global Warming.

As a particular example, one gallon of gas produces twenty pounds of Carbon Dioxide. A typical car burns over 500 gallons of gas a year and emits over five tons of Carbon Dioxide! Similarly, the typical person uses 613 pounds of paper every year - about three trees worth. We all contribute to Global Warming. Now we can do something about it for very little cost...

To help restore the denuded virgin forests of the world, for a global, sustainable ecological balance and to reduce the number of ecological hotspots in the world- places that are experiencing alarming threats of habitat destruction. In the Philippines alone, the country used to have about 28 million hectares of fresh, virgin forests until 1930's. But due to unabated massive cutting of trees, today it only have a measly 2 million hectares left. What indeed a destruction of nature's gift to mankind.

Project Plan: The tree planting is done at 1,000 tress/hectare for a 5-year module, utilizing permit-secured government public lands for free use. The tree specie to be used will be " Bagras" (international name: kamarere) known as the fastest-growing forest timber. It only cost $2 to fully grow in 7 to 12 years.

The five-year tree planting plan is broken down as follows:

1st year : 150 hectares 150,000 trees
2nd year: 150 hectares 150,000 trees
3rd year: 200 hectares 200,000 trees
4th year: 200 hectares 200,000 trees
5th year: 300 hectares 300,000 trees
________________________________
1,000 hectares 1,000,000 trees Total

Prognosis: When the five-year tree planting plan is completed, another 1 million trees in a five-year plan will be undertaken. On the tenth year, the first 150 hectares shall be harvested, to finance the planting of the succeeding 1 million trees to complete a "self-sustaining" and a "growing" cycle.
