Solar Power & Regreening Project
Double climate impact with the Solar Power & Regreening Project
The Solar Power & Regreening Project climate protection certificate does twice as much good for the climate for every tonne of CO₂ offset:
- 1
Avoidance in India
Your first ton of CO₂ is avoided by a Gold Standard certified solar energy project in India. Clean energy replaces fossil fuels. Period.
to the project - 2
Bonding in Africa
Their second ton of CO₂ is captured through Just Diggit's re-vegetation measures. The organization creates semi-circular water retention basins ("Earth Smiles") that store rainwater. Vegetation returns. Carbon is stored.
to the project - 3
Passing on knowledge
5 euros per tonne offset goes directly to Just Diggit for educational work and communication. Local communities learn the techniques. The knowledge spreads. More green spaces are created.
The Solar Power & Regreening Project certificate stands for double climate impact, the highest quality standards and a sustainable contribution to global climate justice.
Just Diggit: When digging becomes climate protection
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. Just Diggit does just that: the Dutch organization digs holes. Sounds banal? It is. And that's exactly why it works.
The principle: back to the roots
The idea behind it is as simple as it is ingenious. In dry areas of Africa, communities dig small hollows and trenches in the ground. These "bunds" collect rainwater that would normally run off unused. The water slowly seeps away, the soil becomes more fertile and grass and trees grow again. Barren landscape becomes green life.
Where this happens
Just Diggit works mainly in Kenya and Tanzania - where climate change is hitting particularly hard. The projects are run in close cooperation with local communities. Because they know best where to dig.
What comes out of it
The figures speak for themselves: over 350,000 hectares of land have already been restored. That is roughly the size of Mallorca. The re-vegetated areas store CO₂, cool the environment and improve the water supply. They also create new sources of income for local people.
The highlight: anyone can join in
Just Diggit has understood that climate protection only works if everyone pulls together. That's why they rely on a mixture of local work and global awareness. People around the world can follow and support the projects via apps and social media.
