Low tech, probably low budget when compared to the big, big projects, driven by women, and the result of their labors is the reforestation of large swaths of Africa.

I wonder who, or what, could initiate such a streamlining and fee-reducing approach to the CDM process.

Something that I have heard about and even observed myself is that women do a disproportionate percentage of the work that is done in this world. I don’t really know why, but it’s been obvious in my (only two, both tourist-oriented) visits to third-world countries that it’s all about the men, but it’s largely due to the women.

Thank you for your intriguing questions. Who’s pursuing the answers?
