Organization
At the moment, "we" are a very small team. We are looking for many mountain enthusiasts who can carry the substrate and possibly the plants into the corresponding areas.
We are looking for several individuals distributed in Switzerland who can purchase a pallet of TP70-Maila substrate and make it available for sale. (The transport costs would be about half of the substrate.)
The materials can be ordered from the producers and paid for by the employees. They bring the plants and soil substrates at their own responsibility and self-finance.
Approved plantations can be documented with the Treeo app, and the CO2 storage can be evaluated.
There is still lots to do!
Documentation on where actions have been taken.
Website, suppliers.
Planting and execution guidelines.
Spreading the idea with your help and perhaps with the help of the "Klimagrosseltern"... Ideas are welcome!
Notabene
A project that works globally, adapted to vegetation and altitude levels!
The Department of Health and Environment of the City of Zurich finds the project interesting and supports it!
Glossary
Biochar: Plant charcoal (also called biocarbon) is produced through the pyrolytic carbonization of plant-based raw materials.
Bokashi: Lactic acid-fermented organic material, with existing seeds no longer viable.
Carbon sink: In this case, CO2 permanently bound in wood, humus content in the soil.
Humic Substances: Organic material transformed into permanent humus (carbon).
TP70-Maila: Black earth substrate (Terra preta) with 70% biochar content and native soil-borne edaphon.
Edaphon: The totality of organisms living in the soil.
Grabstock: Best made from hardwood (dogwood :-) ), dried for stability and lightness.
