World LP Gas Association

The World LP Gas Association - the authoritative global voice for LP Gas - is one of Cool Earth's leading partners and is already helping to protect over one hundred acres of endangered tropical forest.

Its carbon responsibility programme is helping to ensure the emissions generated by the 21st World LP Gas Forum taking place from 24-26 September 2008 are covered 10x by its protection of rainforest.

The World LP Gas Association's commitment to rainforest protection is already making a huge difference to the lives of local communities and security of the trees in the Cutivireni Project in Peru.

We're proud to be working with Cool Earth in keeping carbon where it belongs. We hope the partnership continues to grow from strength to strength.
James Rockall, MD, World LP Gas Association

World LP Gas Association has secured 130 acres (42 hectares) of mature rainforest and has kept 33,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide where it belongs. This means World LP Gas Association's sponsorship is protecting around 5,720 mature trees, 24,700 saplings, 4 endangered species of mammal, 322 types of plant and over 11,000 species of insect and worm.

The sponsorship also includes purchasing classroom equipment, solar powered internet, and working alongside the Ashaninka people to ensure they are properly compensated for protecting a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem.
