| Environmental Credit Developers Gear Up for Sweeping Changes in US Policy In response to upcoming sweeping changes in Climate Change and Alternative Energy Policy, South Pole Carbon Asset Management, a leading worldwide developer of Carbon Credit projects, and Mitch Hawkins & Co., a well-known developer of environmental credits both in the U.S. and offshore, have formed a strategic relationship to penetrate the rapidly expanding U.S. Carbon Credit market, soon to be the largest in the world. The Hawkins Co. will act as Trade Representative for South Pole in origination of projects and the sale of credits to U.S. buyers. They will also combine South Pole's carbon market technical expertise and Hawkins' technology commercialization experience to take advantage of carbon related technology commercialization opportunities. South Pole, currently with over 150 carbon projects worldwide, is based in Zurich and has offices on every continent. Founded by some of the earliest experts in Carbon Credits, South Pole boasts the highest level of technical expertise in these markets. www.southpolecarbon.com Hawkins Co. President Mitch Hawkins commented "We've been working in these areas for almost a decade and today are involved in development of over 50 million Carbon Credits for projects which provide alternative energy and which restore damaged and degraded lands and water resources. We have found one of the best ways for us to impact climate and energy are through development of environmental derivatives such as Carbon Credits. We only have a decade or so left before the tipping point is reached where we can't turn this planet around anymore. It gratifies us to make powerful alliances such as the one with South Pole where we can both generate revenues in an exciting market and have a further affect on helping our planet." Mitch Hawkins & Co. is based on the U.S. West Coast with offices in Santa Barbara and Monterey |
