Trees unbind 5 Tons of CO2 per ha/year
FAO: trees unbind on average 5 tons of CO₂ per ha/year.
Problem: pollu4on caused by fossil fuels is 8,4 billion tons.
Solu4on: 2 Billion hectares trees x 5 tons CO₂ = 10 billion tons.
Trees can unbind more than we pollute! Source FAO hEp://www.fao.org/docrep/003/y0900e/y0900e06.htm

Actualizing
No economic environment to build an innova4ve company.
Obstacles & Solu,ons
Obstacle 1: – No finance for young entrepreneurs for working on water reduc4on.
Solu4on: – Government gives collateral to private banks based on requirements (WBSO in the Netherlands = Law Promo4ng Research and Development).
Obstacle 2: – There is no economical environment for trial periods of innova4ve solu4ons.
Solu4on: – Tender Program: Government defines problems and asks for proposals for solu4ons.
– Offers minimum amount for solu4ons – Best solu4ons are chosen (SBIR= Small Business Innova4on Research).
Obstacle 3: – No clear tax and customs policies. – New inven4ons are defined under old rulings. – Interna4onal rulings are not excepted. – Bureaucra4c aitude.
Solu4on: – Customs have to appoint special personnel for rulings on innova4ve products.
Obstacle 4: – Risk avoiding aitude at government level
Solu4on: – Each ministry should have a risk taking department for innova4ve ideas.
– Criteria have to be defined. – A minimum number of projects a year.
– If no projects fail, the risk avoiding aitude is too high.
– One of requirements of projects is the risk of failure (no risk is not for this department).
