1. Eccotopia Planning to Apply for Matching Funds
The South African government has a program that provides funds for environmental
cleanup, while Eccotopia has a solution for the disposal of the large quantity
of acidic mining waste water, using Megafolia trees for the process of
phytoremediation.
Cape Town, South Africa, January 07, 2013 -- Julian Moses, President of Symphony
Trade and Investment 57 (PTY) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eccotopia Ltd.
http://www.eccotopia.com, announced today that Eccotopia has decided to enter
into discussion in 2013 to apply for matching funds from the South African
government for its project in South Africa. Eccotopia plans to offer a lasting
resolution to the mine water problem in South Africa with the use of the
Megafolia trees and their profound abilities in the process of phytoremediation.
Currently the government has a program that provides funds for environmental
cleanup projects that provide a “green solution“; the project is estimated to
create thousands of jobs in the next six to ten years. Eccotopia
( http://www.eccotopia.com ) has had favorable preliminary discussions with the
labor unions in South Africa.
In addition to the environmental project cleanup system, the company will be
offering a green energy solution starting in the 5th year of the project.
Besides being an excellent natural resource for the process of phytoremediation,
the fast-growing Megafolia trees are a rapid producer of biomass, offering the
opportunity to produce both ethanol and diesel for trucks. While the first phase
of the project will be to demonstrate that Eccotopia
( http://www.eccotopia.com ) has a solution for the disposal of the large
quantity of mining waste water, the secondary benefits will be the production of
“green fuel“ for the vast needs of Southern Africa. Initial plans call for the
hiring of 20 to 30 employees which will be trained the first year to be the
future leaders in the rapid expansion of the project.
