2010 World Cup in South Africa: Soccer Nations Offset Their CO2 Emissions With Climate Rights Obtained From Organic Agriculture

CAPE TOWN, South Africa and WADDINXVEEN, The Netherlands, May 31, 2010 - Over half the nations that qualified for the 2010 Soccer
World Cup in South Africa have pledged to offset their CO2 emissions, for
example, by supporting an organic compost project set up by Eosta's sister
company Soil & More Reliance in South Africa. The teams from the following
countries have volunteered to support this climate protection initiative:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ivory Coast, England, Greece, Italy, Japan,
Cameroon, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Serbia, South Korea, USA,
Uruguay and the host country South Africa.

The Soil & More Reliance compost project in South Africa was
singled out by the United Nations Environment Programme as one of the top
three best emission reduction projects. "We are proud to have been selected
by renowned organisations, such as FIFA, the South African government and the
United Nations, which have recognised our contribution to environment
protection and social responsibility," says Aart van den Bos, co-founder and
director of Soil & More. The company runs plants, which produce high quality
compost for organic farming in South Africa.

The Compost Project in South Africa was developed in
partnership with the Cape Town city administration. Surplus organic waste is
composted. Aerobic composting eliminates greenhouse gases like methane. In
addition, the compost increases soil fertility and water-holding capacity. As
well as reducing greenhouse gases, the Compost Project developed by Soil &
More also helps to reduce the environmental problems caused by agriculture in
South Africa, by tackling issues such as soil erosion, water scarcity and
waste production.
