Read about this in today's Sunday times and thought it sounded great.
Basicly people, companies, schools etc buy a bit of the rainforest to protect it against logging. A high price is paid for the land and some of the money goes to the local people towards hospitals, schools etc.
The project is only just starting but its backed by cross party politicans and could be good. More details at www.coolearth.org.
I've signed up for more details but so far no practical arrangements seem available.
Thoughts?
