Terry Mock submitted a comment to the BioChar 6 post. I thought it was so informative that I am posting it as a individual blog. I don't think everyone reads comments.
Terry, thank you for your comment. It is encouraging that this is being accomplished. And thank you for the links. I am already checking them out. More to learn. More to dream. Doug Iverson
From Terry,
Sustainable Land Development Goes Carbon-NegativeSLDT Magazine - August, 2009http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/sldt/0809/#/18 Located in the headwaters of the Port Orford Community Stewardship Area in Southern Oregon, Ocean Mountain Ranch (OMR) overlooks the newly-designated Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve and the largest remaining old growth forest on the southern coast in Humbug Mountain State Park. OMR is planned to be developed pursuant to a forest stewardship management plan which has been approved by the Oregon Department of Forestry and Northwest Certified Forestry under the high standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). OMR is also serving as a pilot program and is expected to achieve carbon negative status through the utilization of low impact development practices, energy efficient buildings, renewable/clean energy systems, distributed waste management systems, biochar production, and other practices.
The land development industry is uniquely positioned to utilize best management practices to take advantage of emerging ancient and new biochar technologies to help address a multitude of pressing environmental, social and economic concerns by balancing the needs of people, planet and profit – for today and future generations.
