English to Swahili: SPE white paper
Source text - English 1.0 Mission Statement Save Planet Earth (SPE) is a global initiative dedicated to developing an array of different programs to combat global warming and climate change. This includes developing realistic carbon sequestration targets to slow and eventually reverse the effects of global warming, employing a variety of activities including afforestation, reforestation, and enhanced marine climate management. This will be achieved utilizing enhanced public interest and innovative financing mechanisms. Furthermore, taking advantage of the instantly accessible aspects of blockchain technology, we plan to offer the Save Planet Earth token ($SPE) directly to investors creating a Carbon Credit Index, which will then be certified and open $SPE as an investment for companies and individuals to offset their carbon footprint via sequestration. Vision The vision of Save Planet Earth is to offer simple, affordable and effective mechanisms to enhance carbon sequestration and institute effective emission control systems so that global warming and climate change can be kept at manageable levels, empowered by a variety of different climate conservation processes. Long term vision: Supporting activities to avert Global Warming, Expand Efforts in Carbon Sequestration and global adoption of $SPE. The effects of global warming have rapidly emerged with noticeable devastation including disappearing glaciers, rising ocean levels, increasing ocean acidity, and rapidly elevating carbon dioxide levels. The ‘Polluter Should Pay’ principle has become ineffective and quite sadly, the breach of the natural environment continues with commercial interests almost always on top. This dire situation can only be reversed by implementing activities to support afforestation, reforestation and conservation. Carbon sequestration or ‘naturally capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) back to Mother Earth to slow or reverse atmospheric CO₂ pollution and to mitigate or reverse global warming’, offers a new hope: Trees, corals and other natural structures sequester carbon all the time. However, over the past humanity has destroyed many of these ecosystems and the rate of destruction has rapidly increased during the last century. Carbon sequestration projects need to be initiated now. These cannot just be some vague future ‘plan’ anymore. Adequate financing and support will unquestionably play its part to support the carbon sequestration processes. People all over the world are searching for new ways to contribute to carbon sequestration, slow the ongoing process of climate change, and improve conservation efforts. However, these have primarily been left in the hands of large bureaucratic institutions and governments, which despite copious amounts of taxpayer money have little to show for all the spending. The environment is not a thing to be left at the behest of the donor community and it certainly cannot be left to beg for its own survival. We must seek to institute, for our own survival and that of our children, proactive methods to sustain the natural environment. Current carbon-based revenue systems and taxes on polluters must be strengthened and adapted to the 21st century. 10 The need for innovative financing schemes seems to have found its niche in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market that provides the ability of both institutional and private investors to make wholesome investments as they aspire to be stakeholders in the fight against global warming. It is this framework of innovative financing and our capacity to achieve grassroots level action that inspired us to utilize block chain technology in our fight against the devastating effects of climate change.	Translation - Swahili 1.0 Taarifa ya Ujumbe Hifadhi ya Sayari ya Dunia (SPE) ni mpango wa ulimwengu uliojitolea kukuza safu ya anuwai mipango ya kupambana na ongezeko la joto duniani na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Hii ni pamoja na kukuza ukweli malengo ya uporaji wa kaboni kupunguza na mwishowe kurudisha nyuma athari za ongezeko la joto duniani, kuajiri shughuli anuwai ikiwa ni pamoja na upandaji miti, upandaji miti, na kuimarishwa baharini usimamizi wa hali ya hewa. Hii itafanikiwa kwa kutumia maslahi ya umma yaliyoimarishwa na ubunifu mifumo ya fedha. Kwa kuongezea, kutumia fursa zinazopatikana mara moja za teknolojia ya blockchain, tunapanga kutoa ishara ya Hifadhi ya Sayari ya Dunia ($ SPE) moja kwa moja kwa wawekezaji kuunda Kielelezo cha Mkopo wa Carbon, ambacho kitathibitishwa na kufungua $ SPE kama uwekezaji kwa kampuni na watu binafsi kukabiliana na nyayo zao za kaboni kupitia ufuatiliaji. Maono Maono ya Sayari ya Kuokoa ni kutoa njia rahisi, za bei rahisi na nzuri kwa kuongeza uchukuaji wa kaboni na kuanzisha mifumo bora ya kudhibiti chafu ili iwe ya ulimwengu ongezeko la joto na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa yanaweza kuwekwa katika viwango vinavyoweza kudhibitiwa, na kuwezeshwa na anuwai ya michakato tofauti ya uhifadhi wa hali ya hewa. Maono ya muda mrefu: Kusaidia shughuli za kukwepa Joto Ulimwenguni, Panua Jitihada katika Utaftaji wa Carbon na kupitishwa kwa $ SPE ulimwenguni. Athari za ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni zimeibuka haraka na uharibifu unaoonekana pamoja kutoweka kwa barafu, kuongezeka kwa viwango vya bahari, kuongezeka kwa asidi ya bahari, na kuinua haraka viwango vya dioksidi kaboni. Kanuni ya 'Mchafu Anapaswa Kulipa' imekuwa isiyofaa na kabisa cha kusikitisha, uvunjaji wa mazingira ya asili unaendelea na masilahi ya kibiashara karibu daima juu. Hali hii mbaya inaweza kubadilishwa tu kwa kutekeleza shughuli za kusaidia upandaji miti, upandaji miti na uhifadhi. Utekwaji wa kaboni au 'kukamata asili dioksidi kaboni (CO₂) kwa asili Mama Duniani kupunguza au kubadilisha uchafuzi wa anga wa CO₂ na kupunguza au kubadilisha ulimwengu ongezeko la joto ’, inatoa tumaini jipya: Miti, matumbawe na miundo mingine ya asili hutengeneza kaboni kila wakati. Walakini, kwa wakati uliopita ubinadamu umeharibu mifumo mingi ya ikolojia na kiwango cha uharibifu kimeongezeka haraka wakati wa karne iliyopita. Kaboni miradi ya ufuatiliaji inahitaji kuanza sasa. Hizi haziwezi tu kuwa siku zijazo zisizo wazi ‘Panga’ tena. Fedha za kutosha na msaada bila shaka utatimiza sehemu yake kusaidia kaboni michakato ya ufuatiliaji. Watu kote ulimwenguni wanatafuta njia mpya za kuchangia ubatilishaji wa kaboni, kupunguza kasi ya mchakato unaoendelea wa mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa, na kuboresha juhudi za uhifadhi. Walakini, hizi kimsingi zimeachwa mikononi mwa kubwa taasisi za serikali na serikali, ambazo licha ya idadi kubwa ya walipa kodi pesa zina kidogo ya kuonyesha kwa matumizi yote. Mazingira sio jambo la kuachwa kwa amri ya jamii ya wafadhili na hilo hakika haiwezi kuachwa iombe uhai wake. Lazima tutafute kuanzisha, kwa ajili yetu wenyewe kuishi na ile ya watoto wetu, njia bora za kudumisha mazingira ya asili. Mifumo na ushuru wa sasa unaotegemea kaboni lazima uimarishwe na ilichukuliwa na karne ya 21. Uhitaji wa miradi ya ubunifu ya fedha inaonekana kuwa imepata nafasi yake katika kuongezeka soko la sarafu la sarafu ambalo hutoa uwezo wa wawekezaji wa taasisi na wa kibinafsi kwa hufanya uwekezaji mzuri kwani wanatamani kuwa washiriki katika mapambano dhidi ya ulimwengu ongezeko la joto. Ni mfumo huu wa ufadhili mpya na uwezo wetu wa kufikia msingi hatua ya kiwango ambayo ilituhamasisha kutumia teknolojia ya kuzuia mnyororo katika vita vyetu dhidi ya athari mbaya za mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa.
