Dear Friends,
I’m reaching out from the heart—because I believe we are living in the defining moment of our time. Who we are for one another and for life on earth matters.
Right now global climate change impacts every one of us. That is why I am standing to restore our climate, and to move forward now.
Climate restoration is not only possible, it is the most important work before us today. It is the challenge of our generation, and the greatest gift we can give to those who will follow.
We already have the tools, the science, and the knowledge to bring our atmosphere back to one all of us have evolved and thrived in. By restoring the climate, we can ensure that humanity and all life on Earth can flourish—not just now, but for generations to come.
But here’s the truth: we cannot wait, and we cannot do it alone. This is the
moment to speak up, share the vision, and grow a movement that matches the
urgency of the task.
I’m asking you to sign the pledge. I’m asking you to pass this message along—to your friends, family, networks, and communities. Share the hope and the science. Invite conversations. Encourage action. Every person we reach brings us closer to the world we know is possible. I’m asking you to donate if you can.
This is not just about survival. It’s about the flourishing of humanity and all life on Earth.
It’s about cities that breathe, rivers that run clear, and children who inherit a thriving planet.
Somewhere between the breath you’ve just taken and the one you haven’t yet, a door is open.
You can’t see it, but you can feel the wind from the other side— warm, full of the scent of something you haven’t made yet!
Let’s start by restoring our climate and working together to create the future.
With care for you, our communities, and our shared home,
The Grandparents Fund for Climate Restoration (GCRF) is proud to announce the successful Phase 1 completion and transfer of the Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) Buoy Project, an innovative ocean-based CO measurement initiative, to DeepGreen Solutions. Based on this agreement, DeepGreen Solutions will assume full responsibility for advancing the project and scaling its impact.
Launched by GCRF in 2024, the buoy project represents a breakthrough in the effort to measure and verify ocean-based carbon removal. Deployed off the California coast, the buoys demonstrated the collection of critical real-world data on CO, absorption, forming a foundational step toward scalable, science-based ocean climate solutions.
This milestone marks one of the first steps in scaling up the Climate Restoration Industry, which is a fast-emerging sector focused on restoring atmospheric CO2 levels to pre-industrial concentrations (300 ppm) through large-scale carbon removal. The Climate Restoration Industry brings together science, innovation, funding, and global coordination to implement solutions at the scale required to secure a livable planet.
Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) is the most promising pathway to climate restoration due to its potential to remove tens of gigatons of CO2 annually. By enhancing natural phytoplankton growth in targeted ocean regions, OIF accelerates carbon capture and sequestration in the deep ocean.
By handing over responsibility for the specific implementation of OIF to DeepGreen, GCRF will now be able to focus more fully on the big picture-scaling up the industry as a whole and creating the enabling conditions that will allow OlF and other climate solutions to scale quickly and safely.
This big-picture focus includes the introduction and scale-up of additional Climate Restoration pathways such as seaweed cultivation, bamboo reforestation, and biochar production, with a growing emphasis on building resilience within frontline communities. It also encompasses the
development of the for-profit segment of the Climate Restoration movement, to be led by the Climate Restoration Venture Studio (in formation). If you are interested in investing in climate restoration, contact GCRF CEO, llan Mandel at ilan@climaterestorationalliance.org or +1-310-400-0265.
The Climate Restoration Alliance (CRA) and GCRF will continue to actively develop, support, and fund complementary projects and technologies to advance the OlF industry as a critical segment of the broader climate restoration movement. GCRF remains committed to this effort and is currently fundraising to support future OlF development phases, including expanded monitoring, safety protocols, pilot projects, ocean health monitoring and, and international
collaborations.
Thanh Huynh, CEO of DeepGreen Solutions, said: “We’re honored to continue this work. DeepGreen is fully committed to scaling Ocean Iron Fertilization as a viable and ethical solution to the climate crisis. This work accelerates our shared mission, and we deeply appreciate the vision, dedication, and foundational work of GCRF and its donors, whose contributions have made this transition—and the next chapter—possible.”
In recognition of the progress made, GCRF expresses deep gratitude to its volunteers and donors who made the buoy project possible. Their dedication brought a bold idea to life and helped shift the global conversation toward measurable ocean-based carbon removal.
Ilan Mandel, CEO of GCRF, concluded: “This collaboration shows what’s possible when vision, science, and community come together. We’re proud to pass the torch and remain closely engaged in the journey ahead. With this transition, GCRF can now expand its focus to fund additional projects and programs that collectively restore the climate.”

Bamboo, Biodiversity, and the Monoculture Question: Why Our Project in Togo Is Different
Bamboo has earned a reputation as one of the most sustainable plants on Earth. Its rapid growth, ability to regenerate after harvesting, and potential to restore degraded land make it a powerful tool for climate restoration and rural development. Yet, some articles and commentators raise concerns about the risks of bamboo monoculture—large-scale cultivation of a single species.
While these concerns may be valid in certain contexts, they do not apply to our project in Togo. Here’s why.
Not Forest Clearing – But Land Restoration
Bamboo plantations in Asia have sometimes been criticized for replacing natural forests. That is not the case in Togo. Our planting sites are not forests at all—they are former agricultural lands, often partially cultivated or simply unused due to the limited capacity of local communities to farm them effectively. By introducing bamboo, we are not destroying ecosystems; we are bringing underutilized land back into productive use in a sustainable way.
Natural Soil Enrichment
One of bamboo’s unique features is its constant cycle of leaf fall. These fallen leaves naturally enrich the soil with organic matter and nutrients, rebuilding fertility over time. In addition, we will produce **biochar** from bamboo residues and organic waste, which will be added back into the soil to further increase fertility, improve water retention, and store carbon for the long term. Rather than depleting the soil, bamboo cultivation improves it—creating the foundation for healthier ecosystems in the long run.
No Pesticides Needed
Unlike many monoculture crops, bamboo does not require chemical pesticides. It is naturally resilient, and our cultivation methods ensure that we grow bamboo without harmful inputs. This aligns with our commitment to sustainable, chemical-free agriculture.
Preserving Large Trees and Biodiversity
Within our bamboo plots, we are committed to preserving mature trees. These trees provide habitats for birds and other wildlife, helping to maintain biodiversity within and around the plantations. Bamboo does not prevent coexistence with trees—in fact, it complements them.
Weed Suppression Through Canopy, Not Chemicals
Another ecological benefit of bamboo is its ability to suppress weeds naturally. This does not come from its root structure, but from the dense shade its canopy provides, which limits sunlight reaching the ground. As a result, weeds struggle to grow, reducing the need for herbicides.
Food Production in Early Years
During the first two to three years, while bamboo plants are still small, local farmers will be able to grow food crops among the young shoots. This provides immediate food security and income until the bamboo matures.
Agroforestry and Intercropping
Our program includes agroforestry and intercropping practices. In the first two to three years, while bamboo plants are still small, local farmers will be able to grow food crops such as vegetables among the young shoots. Once the bamboo matures, intercropping will continue mainly with large trees (such as fruit or shade trees) alongside the bamboo. This phased approach reduces pest risks, diversifies farmer income, and preserves biodiversity over the long term.
Responsible Land Management
We will apply biochar from organic bamboo residues to the soil, returning carbon and organic matter, supporting microorganisms, and preventing soil degradation.
Biodiversity Corridors
We will establish green buffer zones with native vegetation, allowing beneficial insects, birds, and wildlife to thrive alongside bamboo plantations.
Long-Term Vision
The Togo project sees bamboo not as a monoculture, but as the economic and ecological backbone of a diverse system: renewable energy, panel and furniture products, local agriculture, and water solutions.
A Responsible Model for Africa
Our approach in Togo shows that bamboo monoculture does not have to mean ecological harm. With careful land selection, soil-enriching practices, zero pesticide use, preservation of existing trees, production of biochar, interim food production, intercropping, and biodiversity corridors, bamboo cultivation can be a force for regeneration rather than degradation.
Bamboo has the potential to transform underutilized landscapes, provide livelihoods, and contribute to climate restoration. Fundamentally, our project is designed as a solution for climate restoration and ecosystem recovery, with economic benefits considered a secondary priority. Maximizing economic gains is important, but our guiding principle is to place ecological and climate goals first.
But as with any crop, the outcome depends on how it is grown. Our project in Togo is designed not just to avoid the mistakes made elsewhere, but to set a new global standard for responsible bamboo cultivation.
Togo’s people, land, and ecosystems are under urgent and mounting pressure from climate extremes and environmental decline. More than half the population lives in rural areas, and nearly one in three depends on rain-fed farming.
Breaking Rhythms of Rain and Soil Fertility
Survival is tied to the rhythms of rain and soil fertility, yet those rhythms are breaking down at a visible pace. Since 1991, average surface temperatures have risen by up to 0.34°C per decade. In the northern savannahs, projections show a 1.4°C increase by the 2040s.
Rising Floods, Droughts, and Food Insecurity
Floods and droughts now dictate the planting calendar. At least fifteen major floods have struck since 1971, while dry spells wipe out harvests before the next rains arrive. In 2023 alone, half a million people, a staggering 8% of the country, fell into severe food insecurity. For rural households, that number often rises above one-third when climate shocks hit. Women carry the biggest burden, owning less than 10% of land while performing five times more unpaid labor than men.
Land and Ecosystem Degradation
The land is crumbling beneath them. Forests vanish at nearly 3% each year, leaving less than a quarter of the country forested. Fertile topsoil is stripped away by wind and water. In the Plateaux and Kara regions, nutrients are so depleted that crop yields collapse even with increased fertilizer. Coastal villages along Togo’s 56 kilometers of shoreline are watching the ocean take their homes and fields, and economists warn that sea-level rise could shrink national income by 12% per capita by mid-century. Less than a tenth of farmland is irrigated, leaving over 70% of smallholders entirely at the mercy of erratic rainfall. These pressures are unraveling the local ecosystems, undermining livelihoods, and pushing underserved communities to the edge.
Introducing the Togo Bamboo Project
At The Grandparents Fund for Climate Restoration, we have developed a large and ambitious Togo Bamboo Project to change that story. Bamboo grows fast, sends roots deep into the soil, restores water balance, and reduces erosion. It captures up to 50 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare each year in the right conditions, outperforming most tree species. Studies in comparable ecosystems show that highland bamboo can store more than 52 megagrams of carbon per hectare in dry biomass, which is a clear demonstration of its potential as a carbon sink. Unlike trees that require decades before harvest, bamboo renews itself year after year, creating a steady income without clearing land.
Furthermore, it restores ecosystems while supporting new rural economies built on construction materials, weaving, biochar, renewable energy, durable furniture, and verified carbon credits.
Our project will establish Togo’s largest bamboo restoration zones, with over 10,000 hectares to be restored with the full participation of communities and civil society partners. Furthermore, we will empower local cooperatives and farmers to manage planting and harvesting, while we will empower women and young people with extensive training, leadership, and local governance. The project will also develop market value chains that allow households to earn a living from bamboo products while feeding verified carbon credits into global markets. The generated finance will flow directly back into land stewardship and community development.
Step-by-Step Implementation Plan
We have a clearly outlined step-by-step project plan. In the first phase, we will obtain land access validation and security across over 12 municipalities in the Savanes region, covering 10,000 hectares of degraded and underutilized land. This process is already in progress, beginning with a successful scoping visit in August 2025 (see this official news article and the official media report from Togo below).
Phase One: Land Access and Feasibility Studies
During this visit, we kicked it off with community consultations, started our feasibility study, and conducted initial environmental and operational assessments to protect ecological health and gain social support.
Nurseries, Planting, and Infrastructure Development
We will establish nurseries in the first year of the project to propagate millions of bamboo seedlings, while trained local propagation teams will carry out planting and maintenance. Infrastructure development will include access roads, water harvesting and irrigation systems, and processing units for biochar and bamboo products. We will begin the carbon credit certification in parallel, with international MRV standards applied to track sequestration.
Carbon Credit Certification, MRV Systems & SPS-compliant
In later phases, value-addition facilities will support renewable energy generation, biochar production, and the creation of SPS-compliant (SPS = Sanitary and Phytosanitary) bamboo-based materials and furniture for local and export markets. These steps will create thousands of jobs, build small businesses, and provide direct training to farmers, especially women and young people, in sustainable cultivation and governance.
Economic Potential and Revenue Streams
The economic potential is equally compelling. Conservative estimates suggest the project could earn over $100 million annually from four main revenue sources: bamboo biomass & products, biochar, renewable energy, and high-value carbon credits. The environmental impact will be transformative.
Environmental Impact and Climate Benefits
Over its lifespan, the project will sequester millions of tons of CO₂, restore biodiversity across degraded savannah ecosystems, and re-establish natural water cycles.
Circular Economy and Biochar Solutions
The introduction of biochar into the soil will improve fertility, reduce water demand by up to 50%, and maximize climate resilience. A circular economy model ensures that bamboo byproducts are converted into renewable electricity and soil-improving biochar, eliminating waste and multiplying climate benefits.
Replicability and Technology Transfer
Our bamboo project is both replicable and highly scalable. We plan to implement advanced Israeli AgTech solutions for irrigation, soil monitoring, and precision farming to bring “BambooTech” to Africa. This technology transfer will ensure that the knowledge, tools, and innovations created in Togo can be adapted and duplicated in other African countries experiencing similar degradation issues.
Alignment with Togo’s Climate Commitments
This project is fully aligned with Togo’s climate commitments. The government has pledged to restore 43,000 hectares by 2025 and to plant one billion trees by 2030, yet lacks the capacity and investment to achieve these targets. The Togo Bamboo Project will help deliver these goals with scalable, cost-effective solutions.
Immediate and Long-Term Results
The results will be felt immediately and build over time. Restored land will stabilize food production, reduce disaster risks from floods and erosion, and increase water availability for farming. Households will gain new income streams from bamboo-based businesses, easing dependence on subsistence agriculture.
Empowering Women and Young People
Women and young people will be empowered to gain access to land, training, and leadership roles, shifting local power structures toward greater equity. Share of the profits will be shared with local communities and reinvested to accelerate impact.
Toward a New Climate Economy for Africa
The Togo Bamboo Project unites ecological restoration, climate-smart agriculture, carbon sequestration, and inclusive sustainable rural development. It is a project that can scale at pace, and can offer Togo a pathway out of vulnerability and into resilience, while building a model for how degraded and underutilized land across Africa can become the backbone of a new climate economy.
Why CRA is Expanding Beyond Ocean Iron Fertilization—
And Why Bamboo Might Be the Key to Scaling Climate Restoration
When we founded the Climate Restoration Alliance, we focused on one urgent mission: Restore a safe climate for future generations.
Among the many strategies we explored, one stood out: Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) — a natural, ocean-based process with the potential to remove gigatons of CO₂ quickly and affordably. The science is promising. The urgency is undeniable. And the opportunity is closing fast.
OIF is what we call the “Iron Bullet” — elegant, powerful, and, if done responsibly, capable of scaling to the levels needed to restore the climate at a fraction of the cost of other CDR methods.
So why expand beyond it?
Because restoring the climate isn’t about putting all our hopes into one solution. It’s about building a diverse arsenal of restoration tools — ones that can reinforce each other, serve different regions and communities, and be deployed at different speeds and scales.
We don’t yet know how quickly OIF can be deployed at scale — or how regulatory and political hurdles may evolve. And with every passing year, the stakes grow higher. Every fraction of a degree of warming puts millions more people at risk.
That’s why we’re also investing in Plan B — or rather, Plan Bamboo.
Why Bamboo?
Bamboo might not seem like a climate restoration breakthrough — until you take a closer look:
It’s the fastest-growing plant on Earth, with some species growing up to a meter a day.
It can sequester up to 50 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually.
It grows well on degraded land, restoring soils and ecosystems.
It produces valuable biomass that can be turned into timber, furniture, textiles, biochar, and even renewable energy.
In other words, bamboo is not just a plant — it’s a regenerative industry waiting to scale.
According to Project Drawdown, scaling bamboo globally could avoid and sequester over 1 gigaton of CO₂ per year, while creating widespread rural livelihoods.
Why CRA Is Stepping Up
Let’s be clear: CRA remains fully committed to OIF.
It’s one of the few methods with true climate-scale potential.
But OIF can’t stand alone. It needs infrastructure. Legitimacy. Policy support. And time.
That’s where bamboo comes in.
Bamboo is already happening. It’s tangible. It’s shovel-ready.
Governments, funders, and communities are more eager to support visible, actionable projects — and bamboo opens doors that OIF simply can’t yet.
We’re using bamboo to:
Build credibility and trust with local stakeholders
Grow institutional capacity across continents
Create on-the-ground success that inspires broader participation
Train and activate communities, so more people can directly engage in climate restoration
And yes — it’s profitable, replicable, and regenerative. Our project in Togo is designed to generate revenue while sharing wealth with local farmers, restoring degraded land, and delivering verified carbon removal and avoided emissions.
Building the Climate Restoration Movement
This isn’t just about plants or plankton. It’s about people.
We’re branding bamboo as a Climate Restoration solution — one that anyone can be part of.
By combining bold ventures like OIF with grounded, accessible solutions like bamboo, we’re creating a new path forward — one where we restore the planet together and empower the people who live on it.
Bamboo is how CRA builds momentum — and prepares the foundation for ever more ambitious projects.
So, Do We Need a Plan B?
Absolutely.
Because if we’re serious about winning this fight, we need more than a silver bullet.
We need a movement.
Ocean Iron Fertilization may be our Iron Bullet. But Bamboo is how we build the future we want for our children.
It’s Time to Make Climate Restoration an Idea Whose Time Has Come.
What does that mean, exactly?
“An idea’s time comes when the state of its existence is transformed from content into context.”
— Werner Erhard, The Hunger Project Source Document*
Before you became a parent, parenthood was something you thought about.
You read the books. You had opinions. You made plans.
That was parenthood as content—something you could agree with, disagree with, prepare for.
But the moment your child arrived, everything shifted.
Parenthood became the context of your life.
It wasn’t just something you did—it became the space from which you lived.
Every choice, every moment, every plan now existed inside this new reality: you are a parent.
This is the transformation we now need—for our generation to step into the role of parents to future generations.
Not metaphorically, but existentially.
To make every choice from that context:
What kind of world are we giving to our children’s children?
As content, it’s a position—one of many climate solutions. It competes, it explains, it defends itself.
But as context, Climate Restoration becomes the foundation from which all meaningful climate action emerges.
It is not in agreement to or in opposition to Net Zero, Ocean Iron Fertilization, Plastic Cleanup, Carbon Credits, the Bamboo Industry, or Sustainable Waste Management.
It is the space in which all of these happen.
Climate Restoration is the commitment to give Earth’s children a livable planet.
A world they can thrive in, and one we can be proud to pass on.
When Climate Restoration becomes context, we stop asking “Should we?” or “Is it possible?”
And start asking “How fast can we?”
Then invite others.
Because a context isn’t declared by one voice—it’s created by many.
It is time to make Climate Restoration an idea whose time has come.
Let’s do it, together.
With hope,
On behalf of Future Generations
* From The Hunger Project Source Document, by Werner Erhard
What causes an idea’s time to come? An idea’s time comes when the state of its existence is transformed from content into context.
As a content, an idea expresses itself as, or takes the form of, a position. A position is dependent for its very existence on other positions; positions exist only in relation to other positions. The relationship is one of agreement or disagreement with other positions.
Context is not dependent on something outside itself for existence; it is whole and complete in itself and, as a function of being whole, it allows for, it generates parts-that is to say, it generates content. Content is a piece, a part of the whole; its very nature is partial. Context is the whole; its nature is complete.
When an idea exists as a position (when it is a content) then it is an idea whose time has not come. When an idea’s time has not come, whatever you do to materialize or realize that idea does not work. When an idea’s time has not come, you have a condition of unworkability in which what you do doesn’t work, and you don’t do what works.
When an idea is transformed from content to context, then it is an idea whose time has come.
When an idea is transformed from existence as a position to existence as a space, then it is an idea whose time has come.
Beyond Silent Spring: Moving Forward with Eyes Open
In 1962, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring exposed the devastating ecological consequences of DDT, a chemical once considered a miracle solution. Her work not only revealed the dangers of a single toxin but also highlighted the broader risks of unchecked technological advancement.
The truth is, at the time, we barely considered the consequences at all. Post-war optimism and blind faith in science created a cultural environment where new technologies were rapidly embraced with little thought to their long-term impacts. Ecology was not yet a mainstream science, and the complex relationships within ecosystems—the risks of disrupting food chains, bioaccumulation, and slow, systemic harm—were poorly understood. The dominant mindset wasn’t “we know the risks but accept them,” but rather, “what could possibly go wrong?”
That mindset cost us dearly. But it also taught us an enduring lesson: don’t alter ecosystems blindly.
Now, as we face a planetary climate crisis, that lesson remains urgent. But it’s often misunderstood.
Some critics of climate restoration techniques like Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF) invoke Silent Spring as a warning. They ask: “Are we repeating the same mistake? Are we intervening in the natural world before fully understanding the risks?”
But here’s the crucial difference:
Back then, we didn’t know there was a risk—now, after unintentionally geoengineering the climate for centuries, we do.
We are not blind. We are not unaware. The risks of OIF—ecological shifts, nutrient imbalances, unintended side effects—have been studied for decades. We don’t have all the answers, but we are asking the right questions. And that changes everything.
This is not about avoiding all risk. It’s about acknowledging risk, planning for it, and measuring what matters.
In science, we never fully understand anything—especially not complex systems like the ocean or the climate. But that can’t be an excuse for paralysis. Inaction is not neutral; it carries its own catastrophic risks. The collapse of ocean ecosystems, runaway warming, and acidification are not theoretical—they’re happening now.
So here’s the shift in mindset we need:
From “Don’t act until you fully understand”
to “Act with humility, transparency, and a commitment to learn.”
From “Let’s not take the risk”
to “Let’s take informed, measured steps to avoid far greater risks.”
At the Climate Restoration Alliance, we’re advancing OIF projects with that philosophy. We monitor, we measure, we model. We secure permits. We consult communities and ecologists. We operate with openness and a bias for learning. Because we know: this isn’t Silent Spring. This is a moment of conscious responsibility.
We’re not flying blind—we’re navigating through crisis with our eyes open.
Everyone wants to restore a safe climate — one that humans have actually survived long-term. In this “pre-industrial” climate, which allowed us to develop agriculture and thriving civilizations, atmospheric CO2 never rose above 300 parts per million (ppm). Today, CO2 levels are 420 ppm. Yet now we know how to bring CO2 back down to pre-industrial levels—and could do so by 2050.
Ocean iron fertilization (OIF) appears to be the fastest, safest and most effective climate restoration solution although it was controversial for a time. OIF restores fisheries and other marine life while also reducing CO2 levels at the scale needed to restore the climate. It requires little or no public funding: instead, the process produces revenue … Read More "Melanie Trent"
Restoring the climate requires removing and storing a trillion tons of legacy CO2 by 2050. Nature has stored 99 percent of all the CO2 on earth in the form of limestone, made of calcium and CO2 by shellfish and other marine organisms.1 Nearly half carbon dioxide by weight, limestone is an ideal, permanent storage system for this greenhouse gas.
Restoring our climate will require pulling a trillion tons of legacy carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2050. Farming seaweed, mainly fast-growing kelp and sargassum, can help achieve climate restoration. Click to download the PDF.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that causes about 1/3 of today’s global warming. Using Enhanced Atmospheric Methane Oxidation (EAMO), we can accelerate these processes and reduce atmospheric methane to pre-industrial levels. This could rewind warming back to 2002 levels by 2050 and protect humanity from catastrophic levels of melting permafrost. Click here to download … Read More "Melanie Trent"
More and more people are realizing: Even if we reach net zero by 2050, or stay “well under” 2°C of warming, our survival will still be in serious doubt. That’s because there are already a trillion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. This “legacy” CO2, emitted over the last 200 years, will continue to wreak havoc in our world—whether or not we decrease future emissions to near-zero.
