Carbon Manna Unlimited announces "The Micro Sustainability Prizes©" for Innovations in Markets-based, Self-regenerating Micro-economic and Micro-ecological Paradigms for "The Next Billion" in the Developing World
San Diego, CA (PRweb) January 18, 2010 -- Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California, a non-profit think-tank and international "micro" standards-setting organization, announced today the Carbon Manna(SM) "Micro Sustainability Prizes©", the world's first awards designed to recognize innovation and creativity in the field of markets-based, self-sustaining, micro-economic or micro-ecological paradigms implementable in the Developing World.
The Micro Sustainability Prizes© will be awarded annually to the most novel open-source ideas in markets-based, sustainable "micro" paradigms, also known as "The Micro Revolutions©". If you have developed or even just conceptualized a self-funding, universally-applicable micro paradigm or wealth-creation system for the Base of the Pyramid (BOP) or "The Next Billion", we encourage you to apply today for this awards program.
"Richard Feynman, the late American physicist, said, 'There's plenty of room at the bottom!', and nowhere is this truer than in the areas of sustainable micro-entrepreneurism, micro-environmentalism and micro-economic initiatives for the Developing World that embrace naturally regenerative mechanisms or self-renewing funding sources, such as Bono's Product (Red)™ campaign," remarked David Palella, Founder of Carbon Manna Unlimited.
And because good ideas come from anywhere, these cash awards are open to all comers worldwide including school children, entrepreneurs, homemakers, refugee camp residents, corporations, professors, sanitation workers, government employees, the homeless and Nobel Prize winners. In particular, student teams from any country are strongly encouraged to apply.
The application process is simple -- submit a 1-page Executive Summary in English via email to Carbon Manna Unlimited by 30 April 2010. All ideas will remain the sole property of the inventors/creators, and Carbon Manna Unlimited will make no attempt to implement nor utilize any of the ideas submitted. On 31 May 2010 we will publish the 3 winning entries on our web site.
Nota bene that absolutely NO debt-based microfinance "solutions" will be considered for these awards as by definition micro debt or micro loans are self-limiting, economically regressive, and no longer an "innovation" in the realm of micro-economic paradigms. Similarly, any "solutions" that include direct governmental involvement are also verboten.
Rather, preference will be given to inventions or novel processes that stress:
(1) disintermediation or elimination of administrative layers and any NGO/NPO/MFI middlemen
(2) direct, documentable and incorruptible conveyance of material or monetary benefits to poor families, e.g., via mobile money transfer (MMT)
(3) technologies appropriate for a Developing-World context, e.g., 2G handsets and SMS (short message service); and
(4) free markets, protection of micro-property rights, open-source or freeware principles, self-governance and self-reliance.
For inspiration, applicants are encouraged to study the various novel and self-funding micro-economic, micro-ecological and micro-environmental paradigms described in detail here:

http://carbonmanna.blogspot.com/2008/12/global-moral-lipodystrophy-micro.html
The Micro Sustainability Prizes© are partially funded by a generous donation from Dr. Sergey O. Sablin. Other benefactor inquiries are welcome.
About Carbon Manna Unlimited:
Carbon Manna Unlimited, a public charity, is a "micro" think-tank and international open-source standards-setting organization popularizing two universally-applicable, cell-phone-based, self-funding micro-economic paradigms: (1) the markets-based Carbon-Offset Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System; and (2) the Reduced-fuel-expense Micro-SAVINGS Program. Our pilot project is now in the advanced planning stage in Kogelo, Kenya, the ancestral hometown of U.S. President Barack Obama. Reference:

Global Moral Lipodystrophy & the Micro Revolutions
The World is Fat [ sic ] -- some parts anyway
December 25, 2008
http://carbonmanna.blogspot.com/2008/12/global-moral-lipodystrophy-micro.html
---------
Indeed, a year later, the moneyed flabby in the Developed World have gotten fatter, and the un-moneyed Poor in the Developing World have gotten skinnier. And not a single NGO, charity, foundation, government agency nor corporation worldwide has stepped forward to financially support any of the Micro Revolutions advocated a year ago by Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, even though over 1,000 of them have been contacted 1 by 1. So there are no fatsos at Carbon Manna either.
Lamentably, today, 700 million to 1 billion+ human beings are malnourished and experience hunger daily. But the body mass indices of 100s of millions of the wealthy in the Developed World continue to balloon.
Feted agronomist Norman Borlaug recently joined the pharaohs, and 1,000s of news sources laud his contributions to crop science that allowed "billions" more people to burden the Earth. But were the peta-calories or exa-calories that Norman created evenly distributed across the waistline of Mankind ? No. Did he successfully photoshop or Botox the creased Face of Global Hunger ? No. Did his work mitigate in any way the matricidal environmental externalities inflicted on Mama Gaia by these new billions of mouths ? No.
So today, 100s of millions more human beings are hungry. And Mother Earth still suckles us excess billions though we kick against Her shins daily. So why the accolades for Norman Borlaug ?
Rather, Mankind should anoint anyone who could PREVENT billions more people from being born into a bleak existence in the Maw of Despair (or, as they might say in Kenya -- in the Mau Forest of Despair). And Womankind should praise anyone who could invent sustainable, markets-based systems or paradigms to redistribute existing wealth and calories more equitably across time-space barriers and national and international borders.
Just as work expands to fill the time available, population expands to eat the food available. Mortifying projections call for another 2 billion astronauts on Spaceship Earth by 2050. But should allll these new people even be born? Cannot the current 6.6 billion Homo sapiens on Earth fulfill all our needs ? Will crop science produce new "miracles" to unevenly "feed" even more mouths ? And are the externalities imposed on Planet Earth by each new human being offset just because that person is "fed" ? -- however poorly ?
No, rather, each incremental human life kills Mother Earth a little bit more. Technology will never innovate fast enough to mitigate the incremental environmental externalities inflicted by each human born.
"...and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the Heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore..." -- Genesis 22:17.
Easter Island is the Future of this Blue Dot in the Heavens. In the end we will eat our seed corn, and then eat our own seed -- a la Leningrad, medium well, cooked over broken furniture...
Would you like fries with that ?
Therefore, for the Redemption of Mankind, and for the Salvation of Mother Earth, I propose the inauguration of new Nobel Prizes or Kyoto Prizes or X Prizes or ..... Palella Prizes !? -- for the following fields:
* Meteorology
* Hydrology
* Agronomy / Crop Science
* Food Science / Nutrition
* Ecology
* Oceanography
* Atmospheric Sciences
* Forestry
* Astronomy / Space Sciences
* Family Planning / Population Management
* Animal Husbandry & Fisheries Management
* Green Energy / Alternative Energy
* Markets-based/Sustainable Philanthropy
* Conflict Resolution (historical, not projected. Duh.)
* Micro Economic Paradigms [ my favorite ], and
* _________...? <<-- add your favorite here.
Accelerated innovation in all these fields is now more important to Mankind's and Earth's survival than the current prize categories. Time is of the essence to save Ourselves. Philanthropists ! -- if you love Mankind as your name says -- step forward now and richly incentivize and reward innovators in these other fields as well.

Carbon Manna -- Two Novel Cell-phone-based Microfinance Mechanisms
*****
Carbon Manna -- Two Novel Cell-phone-based Microfinance Mechanisms based on reduced use of non-renewable biomass fuel
Carbon Manna Unlimited's reduced-fuel-expense Micro-Savings Program, and separate Carbon-Micro-Offset Monetization System will provide timely and sustainable liquidity to the savings poor in East Africa
Daily Cash Savings on fuel of 15 - 40 U.S. cents/day will Sustainably Fund
Micro-Savings Programs in Kenya/East Africa and Allow Faster Repayment of Traditional Microfinance Loans
[from ideas conceived during November 2009]
We at Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego (a non-profit corporation) have developed two novel, universally-applicable, cell-phone- and NON-debt-based, highly-scalable forms of microfinance that we call the Carbon Manna(sm) System. They are:
(1) the Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System -- comprising monetization of 1,000s of aggregated carbon-micro-offsets via the European GS-VER market (Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reduction market); and
(2) the Reduced-fuel-expense Micro-Savings Program -- an SMS-based behavior-modification program that teaches families to bank their daily cash savings on fuel of 15 - 40 U.S. cents/day.
Both mechanisms are based on reduced combustion of non-renewable biomass fuel and employ a highly efficient, low-cost cook-stove custom designed by our for-profit sister company in Kenya, Carbon Manna Africa Ltd. The stoves are serialized and matched uniquely with each family's cell phone number.
Broadcast SMS messages and customized content regarding personal finance, public health, women & children's rights, nutrition, etc., will be sent to all families.
Monetized carbon offsets and cash fuel savings may be banked and converted back to cash as needed using existing MMT (Mobile Money Transfer) systems such as Safaricom's M-Pesa or Zain's ZAP systems in the case of East Africa.
The two mechanisms can be implemented sequentially -- the Micro-Savings Program immediately, and the Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System later as paperwork is completed for the carbon-offset market.
Our large-scale, pilot cook-stove project in Kenya (managed by Carbon Manna AFRICA Ltd.), which includes the ancestral hometown of President Obama, is in late-stage planning. See:
-->> http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Carbon-Manna-Unlimited-1065919.html
We plan to scale the Kenyan effort up to 100,000 - 250,000 families within 5 years.
Most notably, we believe these two novel microfinance mechanisms have a number of advantages over, and will scale much faster than, micro-debt, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.
Finally, in the case of corporate sponsors in the wireless or consumer products industries, Carbon Manna(sm) offers an auditable "ROI on CSR" investments, a rare result in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) field.
In the case of individuals, donations to Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego (a California-incorporated public charity) are 100% tax-deductible through our umbrella 501c3 status with The GlobalGiving Foundation in Washington, DC.
We hope you will support our efforts in Kenya and/or some other part of the Developing World of interest to you. Being cell-phone- and markets-based, Carbon Manna(sm) is universally applicable.

Carbon Manna Africa Ltd. Announces Collaboration With the Town of Kogelo, Kenya -- the Ancestral Home of President Barack Obama
*****
Mama Sarah Obama Welcomes Introduction of the Cell-Phone-Based Carbon Manna(SM) System to Kogelo to Address Copenhagen Consensus Challenges
SAN DIEGO, CA and KOGELO, KENYA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California, a non-profit standards-setting organization popularizing the world's first form of non-debt-based microfinance -- the highly-scalable, cell-phone-based Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing system -- announced today an exclusive agreement between its affiliate, Carbon Manna Africa Ltd. (Nairobi, Kenya), and the Kogelo Community Development Foundation (KCDF) in Kogelo, Kenya. Kogelo is the childhood hometown of U.S. President Barack Obama's late father.
Carbon Manna Africa and KCDF will jointly utilize the sustainable Carbon Manna(SM) Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System to address various healthcare, nutrition and education challenges common to the Developing World as enumerated in the Copenhagen Consensus.
"The self-funding Carbon Manna(SM) System is now in the ancestral home of President Obama through a collaboration with the Kogelo Community Development Foundation (KCDF), whose patroness is Mama Sarah Obama -- President Obama's paternal grandmother," announced the Chairman of KCDF, well-known Kenyan movie star Mr. Joseph Olita. He further remarked: "Through the stewardship of Mama Sarah Obama, KCDF will harness the carbon markets-based economic engine of the Carbon Manna(SM) System to address in particular Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT), funding of nutrition programs in grade schools for at-risk children, and reductions in the incidences of malaria, cholera and illegal child labor."
To the delight of Mama Sarah Obama, on 25 October 2009, representatives of KCDF and Carbon Manna Africa (CMA) visited Kogelo and presented her with the first CMA-designed "Mulindi Stove," engraved with the now-historic campaign refrain of her grandson: "Yes, we can!"
Geoffrey Kiringa, President of Carbon Manna Africa Ltd., noted: "Our Carbon Manna(SM) System implementation in Kogelo will also sensitize the 10,000 residents to proactively reduce environmental degradation by encouraging reforestation and conservation of other natural resources such as rivers and lakes, thus empowering the community to fully participate in Income Generating Activities (IGAs) such as fish farming and beekeeping."
Companies interested in purchasing the GS-VER credits (Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reduction credits) to be produced in the ancestral hometown of the Obama Family and in the surrounding Kenyan countryside, should contact Carbon Manna Unlimited or Carbon Manna Africa. Inquiries from accretive strategic partners in the healthcare, nutrition and education areas are also encouraged.
The Carbon Manna(SM) System employs mobile phones, SMS (short message service) and unique stove identifiers that will allow millions of families in the Developing World to claim and monetize on a monthly basis the validated carbon micro-offsets they produce by utilizing more efficient cooking methods such as well-designed charcoal or wood stoves, instead of using an inefficient 3-stone fire burning excessive non-renewable biomass. As a result, each family becomes a self-reliant micro-PROFIT center and is able to monetize directly its own contribution to reducing CO2 emissions, while also slowing regional deforestation.
The highly scalable Carbon Manna(SM) System is one of the few extant and tenable markets-based mechanisms that will allow attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. By tapping the US$ 125 billion annual carbon-trading markets and transferring payments directly to each participating family via SMS message and existing mobile money transfer (MMT) systems, Carbon Manna(SM) eliminates multiple levels of bureaucracy that to date have economically hobbled all large-scale, family-level economic empowerment programs in Africa.
After Kenya, in 2010 and beyond the Carbon Manna(SM) System will expand to Rwanda, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Botswana and South Africa.
For corporate social responsibility (CSR), philanthropic, sponsorship or collaborative opportunities with Carbon Manna Unlimited and/or Carbon Manna Africa; or for speaker requests or celebrity inquiries; and to co-opt a sustainable and universally applicable micro-paradigm that can indeed quickly scale to benefit the "Next Billion" at the Base of the Pyramid, please contact:

Mama Sarah Obama Welcomes Introduction of the Cell-Phone-Based Carbon Manna(SM) System to Kogelo to Address Copenhagen Consensus Challenges
SAN DIEGO, CA and KOGELO, KENYA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Carbon Manna Unlimited in San Diego, California, a non-profit standards-setting organization popularizing the world's first form of non-debt-based microfinance -- the highly-scalable, cell-phone-based Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing system -- announced today an exclusive agreement between its affiliate, Carbon Manna Africa Ltd. (Nairobi, Kenya), and the Kogelo Community Development Foundation (KCDF) in Kogelo, Kenya. Kogelo is the childhood hometown of U.S. President Barack Obama's late father.
Carbon Manna Africa and KCDF will jointly utilize the sustainable Carbon Manna(SM) Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System to address various healthcare, nutrition and education challenges common to the Developing World as enumerated in the Copenhagen Consensus.
"The self-funding Carbon Manna(SM) System is now in the ancestral home of President Obama through a collaboration with the Kogelo Community Development Foundation (KCDF), whose patroness is Mama Sarah Obama -- President Obama's paternal grandmother," announced the Chairman of KCDF, well-known Kenyan movie star Mr. Joseph Olita. He further remarked: "Through the stewardship of Mama Sarah Obama, KCDF will harness the carbon markets-based economic engine of the Carbon Manna(SM) System to address in particular Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT), funding of nutrition programs in grade schools for at-risk children, and reductions in the incidences of malaria, cholera and illegal child labor."
To the delight of Mama Sarah Obama, on 25 October 2009, representatives of KCDF and Carbon Manna Africa (CMA) visited Kogelo and presented her with the first CMA-designed "Mulindi Stove," engraved with the now-historic campaign refrain of her grandson: "Yes, we can!"
Geoffrey Kiringa, President of Carbon Manna Africa Ltd., noted: "Our Carbon Manna(SM) System implementation in Kogelo will also sensitize the 10,000 residents to proactively reduce environmental degradation by encouraging reforestation and conservation of other natural resources such as rivers and lakes, thus empowering the community to fully participate in Income Generating Activities (IGAs) such as fish farming and beekeeping."
Companies interested in purchasing the GS-VER credits (Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reduction credits) to be produced in the ancestral hometown of the Obama Family and in the surrounding Kenyan countryside, should contact Carbon Manna Unlimited or Carbon Manna Africa. Inquiries from accretive strategic partners in the healthcare, nutrition and education areas are also encouraged.
The Carbon Manna(SM) System employs mobile phones, SMS (short message service) and unique stove identifiers that will allow millions of families in the Developing World to claim and monetize on a monthly basis the validated carbon micro-offsets they produce by utilizing more efficient cooking methods such as well-designed charcoal or wood stoves, instead of using an inefficient 3-stone fire burning excessive non-renewable biomass. As a result, each family becomes a self-reliant micro-PROFIT center and is able to monetize directly its own contribution to reducing CO2 emissions, while also slowing regional deforestation.
The highly scalable Carbon Manna(SM) System is one of the few extant and tenable markets-based mechanisms that will allow attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. By tapping the US$ 125 billion annual carbon-trading markets and transferring payments directly to each participating family via SMS message and existing mobile money transfer (MMT) systems, Carbon Manna(SM) eliminates multiple levels of bureaucracy that to date have economically hobbled all large-scale, family-level economic empowerment programs in Africa.
After Kenya, in 2010 and beyond the Carbon Manna(SM) System will expand to Rwanda, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Botswana and South Africa.

Carbon Manna(SM) Update-o-rama
*****
Hello Carbon Manna(SM) Aficionados,
We just made a completely new PowerPoint presentation for Carbon Manna -- only 16 slides. Please send us your email address if you would like to see it.
We also sent out a news release on 19 August 2009 -- see:
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Carbon-Manna-Unlimited-1033328.html
We're on Twitter now too:

Philanthropy Net - San Diego -- started on LinkedIn.com
*****
Hello Friends & Neighbors,
Due to a screaming unmet networking need here in San Diego, we were forced to start a new in-person socializing group. Spreading the word & promoting meetings will be done on-line via LinkedIn.com:
-->> Philanthropy Net - San Diego
-->> http://www.linkedin.com/e/vgh/2185731/
If you have a sincere interest in Philanthropy, pro bono work or charitable giving, please sign up today, whether you're really in Southern California or not. We'll be liberally sharing pithy information via the group, which will also enrich the out-of-towners.
And if you prefer highly structured social engagements, don't come to our human-level Brownian motion-like near-random networking events. Rather, go to a yoga or square-dancing class. Equality, flat organization, and semi-organized social chaos -- that's the American way. Or, the corollary in China is: "Better to rumble like rocks, than to tinkle like jade."
Very leptonically yours,

Fund-raising campaign for Carbon Manna AFRICA / Kenya pilot project
*****
Our first and large-scale implementation of the Carbon Manna / Carbon Micro-PROFIT-Sharing System (CMPSS) in Kenya is progressing well, but they need beer money for the start-up costs, which are mainly allll the documentation/audits required to pre-sell offsets on the European VER (Voluntary Emission Reduction) carbon markets.
Us folks on the U.S. side here at Carbon Manna UNLIMITED in San Diego have already contributed about US$ 20,000 cash. Our team in Kenya needs another US$ 100,000 - 150,000 before their operations become self-sustaining via pre-selling the carbon offsets from their large-scale cookstove projects.
Flush and visionary donors should contact me for more details about kicking in for the next keg in Kenya.
Nota bene that Carbon Manna Africa Ltd. is a for-profit company because it is tooooo difficult and expensive to form a charity in Kenya. Hence, if you file your tax returns in the U.S., you may not receive a deduction for your donation. We didn't and won't receive any deductions.
Our intrepid Carbon Manna leader in Nairobi, Geoffrey Kiringa, may be able to accept donations via an NGO or official charity based in Kenya, but this is not assured. And even so, it may not qualify you for a tax deduction here in the U.S. Consult first with your CPA if you have tax sensitivities.
For allll the reasons above, then, donations below about US$ 2,500 are definitely not cool, and we won't even remember to call you the next morning. So think BIG ! before contacting us.
So for anyone who sends more than US$ 10,000 to Carbon Manna AFRICA in Nairobi, we will add you to the guest list whenever Bono finally realizes that he can't live with or without Carbon Manna and says, "Hey, let's do lunch in Santa Monica next time I'm there!"
For cash transfusions over US$ 20,000 -- ditto whenever Angelina Jolie finally calls us for brunch.
Brash cashed-up donors should wire money directly to Carbon Manna AFRICA in Kenya; we here in San Diego don't need to touch the money. We'll fund our own keggers all by ourselves via major corporate sponsors based in the U.S., Europe & Japan.
Contact me or Geoffrey Kiringa directly for wire instructions.
Finally -- quick ! -- name the 13th Apostle !
Can you? Almost no one can. Why?
Because when you join a winning team late, no one gives you any credit and no one remembers your name.
Hence, support Carbon Manna early, before its Fame overshadows us all.
