The South African government has a program that provides funds for
environmental cleansolution up, while Eccotopia has a 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.
