Eosta's Soil & More Supports First Climate-Neutral Rock Concert
WADDINXVEEN,The Netherlands, August 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Exactly 40 years
after Woodstock, a "Rock for Nature" rock concert will be held in the
Schwabisch Hall inGermany from August 22 through 24. The concert's theme
will be organic, genetic-manipulation free agriculture. Eosta's sister
organization "Soil & More" will fully compensate all CO2 emissions arising
from the concert with "carbon credits" obtained through composting projects
for organic agriculture.
The concert will feature world-famous artists and bands such as
Scorpions, Nena, Joe Cocker and Roger Hodgson (formerly with Supertramp). In
addition, there will be a wide range of get-togethers focusing on the main
subject of the concert.
Soil & More sets up and manages large-scale organic composting sites
worldwide, where organic waste is converted into a superior compost mixture.
Organic and traditional growers gratefully use this compost. The composting
process does not release environment-burdening methane gas. In addition, the
process prevents the creation of other harmful greenhouse gasses, like
nitrous oxide, which is released during the manufacture and application of
fertilizer. Finally, this Soil & More compost creates higher humus content in
the soil, which traps carbon from the atmosphere.
The emission rights Soil & More earns with its composting project are
used by Eosta (growers) to compensate for their own remaining discharges.
Since the recent Fruit Logistica show, Eosta has launched a wide range of
climate-neutral products under the "Nature & More" brand, including apples,
pears, oranges and, this week, vine tomatoes. These first-ever
climate-neutral agricultural products carry the TUV-Nature & More "Climate
Neutral" symbol, which represents reduction, publication and compensation of
greenhouse gas emissions linked to the production, transportation, cooling
and packaging of Nature & More products. Nature & More growers receive the
"Climate Neutral"-label with TUV-certification by compensating for the
emission of all greenhouse gasses in the chain. The discharges are published
