ENGLISH VERSION 2 B oiman GOCC Group of Cluster Council (GOCC) is in Nyandarua county near Nyahururu town. We border LaikipiaCounty to the north and Nakuru county to the west. We are in a high altitude of 2698m above the sea level! We learnt about TIST in early 2012.

Immediately, farmers started joining together in Small Groups. So far, we have three (3) Clusters as follows; 1) Boiman TIST Cluster with 42 groups and 102, 963 quantified trees. 2) Finley TISTCluster with 36 groups and 73, 605quantified trees. 3) Ngano TIST Cluster with 51 groups and 157, 052 quantified trees. Top indigenous trees planted by majority of our farmers includeMutarakwa (Red cedar), Muchorui, Mugaita (California pepper),Mutamaiyu (Olive),Mukeu, Mukorobothi (red sandal wood) among others Top Exotic trees includeCypress, Pine, Gravelliawhile fruit trees common in our area are pears,plums, oranges, lemon etc. We admit the twin issues of Climate Change and Deforestation is slowly clipping into our area. We have noted our area is becoming warmer. As a result, streams are drying up, new pests are coming into our farms.This is as a result of long practiced farming system where fields were cleared of trees to pave way for mono crops such as maize and wheat. Today, weather patterns have become inconsistent,

unpredictable and unreliable. We have realized we cannot continue doing the same things season after season and expect different results. We have talked and discussed in length on things that we must change. For instance, we have agreed that Agroforestry is the way to go. We should begin mixing trees with crops in order to enhance resilience of our food crops. Farmers who are practicing agroforestry are getting better yields. We are also worried over high prevalence in tree cutting for timber. Since the Government banned tree logging from the public forests, timber buyers shifted to seeking their source from our farms. Because individual farmers have right over their trees, we see this problem a little complex. We feel we must do something about it, but we don’t know how. We came up with an idea that we form a Taskforce to look into this matter. Our Conditions of Satisfaction (COS) in this Taskforce is as follows: 

1. We will be completely satisfied when every Small Group member in our Clusters understand the implications of clear cutting and how it aids in spreading of Climate Change effects. 2. We will be completely satisfied when every Small Group member in our Clusters understand the implications of clear cutting and how it hurts other TIST Farmers and their Carbon Business. 3. We will be completely satisfied when every Small Group member in our Clusters says,“I now understand why Ishould keep our trees alive for 30 and more years.” 4. We will be completely satisfied when every Small Group member in our Clusters says,“I now understand that I can sustainably harvest my trees (5% of our Group’s total trees when those trees are 10 years or older) and still participate fully in carbon business. This Taskforce is composed of 15 Leaders from all the Three (3) Clusters forming our GOCC. We welcome your ideas, suggestions on how we can accomplish our Conditions of Satisfaction (COS). The following are Leaders of our Clusters and their Contacts. Boiman GOCC: Taking Higher Responsibility in protecting our Trees.

You can as well contact our Cluster Servant, Esther Waithira 0701045984 M y name is Sarah Kathambi Kimathi from Tharu Cluster in Meru County. I belong to Makena Small Group, TIST number 2009KE276. When I learnt about TIST, what interested me most was Conservation Farming (CF). Many other farmers were interested with tree planting, but for me, I wanted to practice in Conservation Farming. My farm is too small to accommodate many trees. I have planted a few and still receive their benefits. Since I started practicing CF, I have experienced increased yields from my small plot of land.With my age (I am 64 years old now), I find Conservation Farming easier to practice since I don’t have to till my land. CF demands less labour. The yields have been much higher compared to when I was doing traditional methods of tilling. Even when there is less rainfall, my crops still do better than in my neigbours farms. I have noted CF holes hold soil moisture for longer period.Also, 

because the soil is not disturbed through tilling, it conserves a lot of soil moisture as well. I want to encourage other TIST farmers to try Conservation Farming. CF increase yields and help in the fight against hunger. If you have a bigger land, you can earn good income from selling the surplus. Sara in her CF plot. Meet Sarah Kathambi Kimathi, a TIST Conservation Farming Champion. ENGLISH VERSION 4 O nce again, TIST Program is preparing another round of profitsharingpayments and pre-payments to Small Groups. Our goal is to enable as many Small Groups as possible to get paid. The plan entails quantifying each and every Small Group in a Cluster. As we continue with Quantification, Cluster servants are required to serve one Cluster at a time. This one Cluster must have 100% completeness.

That is, all Small Groups must have been quantified in the last 9 months.All Groves in the Cluster should have been baselined properly to qualify for carbon business. Each and every Small Group should have its Greenhouse Gas Contract signed and uploaded. As we prepare to do the Small Group payments, we have developed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to help you understand Small Group payment issues and process better. Small Groups Frequently Asked Question. 1. Question: How do farmers who harvest their trees impact farmers who maintain them? The farmer who cuts down trees harms the other farmers and the TIST program as a whole, as this reduces the tonnes of carbon in the inventory, so less sales, and considering the Small Group had received advance payments, this means the other farmers will have money deducted on sharing profit.The program credibility is lost as carbon tonnes bought by clients will no longer be there to be shown, this harms the TIST program’s image more. 2. Question:Will those who harvest and replant get to share in the profits? Yes, it is important to replace the lost carbon tonnes and getting even more from that grove area. However, this best practice is to keep the grove alive for a full 30 years, to maximize benefits to everybody. 3. Question: At what point do farmers with small trees

 begin to share in the profits? The farmers with small trees begin to share profits immediately when their trees are big enough, quantified, profits are sale of carbon less advanced money and cost of the Small Group services. Farmers share profits based on how much carbon is in their trees. However, they will still get pre-payments 4. Question: If farmers received profit share last year, are they receiving profit share this year? The profits are shared each and every year. Each year, the profit share is from that year’s profits. TIST Prepares to pay Small Groups Profit Sharing and Pre-payments. 

ENGLISH VERSION 5 5. Question: If a farmer’s trees are destroyed by landslide/fires/disease, is the rest of the farmers groves impacted for carbon payment? What if they replant? Yes, the carbon payment is impacted, as it will reduce number of trees and in essence carbon tonnes.To replant more trees is the best practice to get back the number of trees and in essence carbon tonnes. 6. Question: What is the profit sharing? How is it calculated? Sale of carbon tonnes - cost of the program = profit, so 70% of the profit get to farmers and 30% of the profit get to Clean Air Action Corporation finances TIST, expansion to new areas, and who helps in “Packaging” of carbon. -Better said: Revenue – expenses = profits 7. Question: How do farmers qualify for the profit share? Farmers plant trees and have them quantified to qualify for profit share. Once we make profit, the farmers get 70% of the profit and CAAC gets 30% of the profit. Farmers continue to qualify each year if they keep their trees alive for 30 years. 8. Question: How can a Small Group calculate what their share is? Please read your voucher for information on how many tonnes you have, the amount per tonne, and the total prepayments made to your Small Group. As a Small Group, they discuss between themselves how to share their profit, this in itself help the farmers make their own decision in the spirit of the Small Group organization. 9. Question: Why is the profit share important to TIST? Profit is money made by farmers, this helps in paying off many bills like school fees, food, clothing, etc., thus it is very important to farmers. Profit share is important to Clean Air Action Corporation because it helps the program to expand to more farmers. 10. Question: If a farmer harvests, can they still receive Profit Sharing? If not, why? No, as profits are made by sale of carbon tonnes, so harvesting trees no sale is done on carbon tonnes, so no profit. Harvesting hurts the farmers who remain in the program. 11. Question: Will farmers receive prepayments as profit share is being paid? Yes. Those Groups that qualify for prepayments are receiving their vouchers 12. Question:Who gets the remaining 30% of the profits? CAAC.

 This attracts people to invest in TIST, helps to pay for the costs in developing TIST, helps pay for costs of packaging the carbon, expansion, office expenses, employee’s salaries and reimbursements, and many more other costs ENGLISH VERSION 6 13. Question: Does each Small Group receive the same amount for profit share? No. The amount of profit share depends on how the amount of carbon tonnes sequestered from the Small Group’s trees. 14. Question: How often does the profit share occur? The profit share will be received each and every year if and when CAAC makes a profit. 15. Question: If part of a grove is destroyed by natural causes does the rest qualify? Yes 16. Question: When a grove exists but hasn’t been quantified can it affect the profit share? 

When it is quantified are the tonnes lost in the meantime? Yes. Small Groups which have not been quantified in the last 12 months will not receive the profit share. When the grove is quantified all of the accrued tonnes are captured and eligible for payment. 17. Question: Can we give tonnage information by grove instead of group? NO. TIST works with Small Groups and not individuals by grove. 18. Question: Will carbon/profit share continue for 30 years? Yes.As long as the trees are kept alive and TIST has profits to share. 19. Question: How much carbon can a tree sequester? How much is this worth? A tree can sequester more than 1 tonne of carbon. Trees should be kept alive for 30 years to maximize this carbon. Carbon prices depend on the global carbon markets.TIST has sold tonnes from between $3-10 US, before expenses. 20. Question: How does recovering lost tonnes work? Lost tonnes will be made up by the Small Group by planting many more new trees. Others make up tonnes by maintaining the existing trees and letting their growth exceed the lost tonnes. 

For some this will occur naturally because tonnes lost are a small proportion and their trees are healthy 21. Question: Will unpaid groups and groves be paid? When? Yes. As soon as possible 22. Question: Can you explain verified vs sequestered carbon? Sequestered carbon is the carbon that a tree has or holds in its trunk and branches.While verified carbon is sequestered carbon that has been validated by verifiers. Help Wanted.

 Mahudhurio 64 wanachama. Mkutano ujao utafanyika 29/11/2021. KISWAHILI VERSION 2 K ikundi cha Baraza la nguzo la Boiman GOCC (GOCC) kiko katika kaunti ya Nyandarua karibu na mji wa Nyahururu. Tunapakana na Laikipia County kaskazini na kaunti ya Nakuru magharibi. Tuko katika urefu wa juu wa mita 2698 juu ya usawa wa bahari! Tulijifunza juu ya TIST mapema 2012. Mara moja, wakulima walianza kujiunga pamoja katika Vikundi Vidogo. Kufikia sasa, tuna nguzo tatu (3) kama ifuatavyo; 1) Nguzo ya Boiman TIST iliyo na vikundi 42 na miti 102, 963 iliyohesabiwa. 2) Finley TISTCluster na vikundi 36 na 73, 605 miti iliyothibitishwa. 3) Ngano TIST Nguzo na vikundi 51 na 157, 052 miti iliyohesabiwa. Miti asili ya juu iliyopandwa na wakulima wetu wengi ni pamoja na Mutarakwa (Mwerezi mwekundu), Muchorui , Mugaita (pilipili ya California), Mutamaiyu (Zaituni), Mukeu , Mukorobothi (kuni nyekundu ya mchanga) kati ya wengine. Miti ya Kigeni ya Juu ni pamoja na Msambazi, Pine, Gravellia wakati miti ya matunda kawaida katika eneo letu ni pears, squash, machungwa, limau nk. Tunakubali maswala pacha ya Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi na Ukataji miti hupungua polepole katika eneo letu. Tumebaini eneo letu linakuwa lenye joto. Kama matokeo, mito inakauka, wadudu wapya wanakuja kwenye shamba zetu. Hii ni kama matokeo ya mfumo wa kilimo wa muda mrefu ambapo mashamba yaliondolewa miti ili kusafisha mazao ya mono kama mahindi na ngano. Leo, mifumo ya hali ya hewa imekuwa ya kutofautiana, haitabiriki na isiyoaminika. Tumegundua kuwa hatuwezi kuendelea kufanya vitu vile vile msimu baada ya msimu na tunatarajia matokeo tofauti. Tumezungumza na kujadili kwa urefu juu ya mambo ambayo lazima tubadilishe. Kwa mfano, tumekubaliana kwamba kilimo cha misitu ndio njia ya kwenda. Tunapaswa kuanza kuchanganya miti na mazao ili kuongeza uthabiti wa mazao yetu ya chakula. Wakulima ambao wanafanya kilimo cha miti wanapata mazao bora. Tuna wasiwasi pia juu ya kuenea sana kwa kukata miti kwa mbao.

 Kwa kuwa Serikali ilipiga marufuku ukataji miti kutoka kwenye misitu ya umma, wanunuzi wa mbao walihama kutafuta chanzo chao kutoka kwenye shamba zetu. Kwa sababu mkulima mmoja mmoja ana haki juu ya miti yake, tunaona shida hii ngumu kidogo. Tunahisi lazima tufanye kitu juu yake, lakini hatujui jinsi. Tulikuja na wazo kwamba tuunde Kikundi kazi cha kuangalia jambo hili. Masharti yetu ya Kuridhika (COS) katika Kikosi hiki cha kazi ni kama ifuatavyo: 1. Tutaridhika kabisa kila mshiriki wa Kikundi Kidogo katika Vikundi vyetu atakapoelewa athari za kukata wazi na jinsi inasaidia katika kueneza athari za Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi. 2. Tutaridhika kabisa wakati kila mshiriki wa Kikundi Kidogo katika Vikundi vyetu atakapoelewa athari za kukata wazi na jinsi inawaumiza Wakulima wengine wa TIST na Biashara yao ya Kaboni. 3. Tutaridhika kabisa wakati kila mshiriki wa Kikundi Kidogo katika Vikundi vyetu atakaposema, "Sasa ninaelewa ni kwanini ningeweza kuweka miti yetu hai kwa miaka 30 na zaidi." 4.

 Tutaridhika kabisa wakati kila mshiriki wa Kikundi Kidogo katika Vikundi vyetu atasema, "Sasa ninaelewa kuwa ninaweza kuvuna miti yangu (5% ya miti yote ya Kikundi chetu wakati miti hiyo ina miaka 10 au zaidi) na bado nashiriki kikamilifu katika biashara ya kaboni. Kikundi hiki kinaundwa na Viongozi 15 kutoka kwa Vikundi vyote vitatu (3) vinavyounda GOCC yetu. Tunakaribisha maoni yako, maoni juu ya jinsi tunaweza kutimiza Masharti yetu ya Kuridhika (COS). Wafuatao ni Viongozi wa Makundi yetu na Mawasiliano yao. Boiman GOCC: Kuchukua wajibu wa Juu katika kulinda miti yetu. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Sara katika shamba yake ya CF.

 Nguzo, Esther Waithira 0701045984 J ina langu ni Sarah Kathambi Kimathi kutoka Cluster ya Tharu katika Kaunti ya Meru. Mimi ni wa Kikundi Kidogo cha Makena, nambari ya TIST 2009KE276. Nilipojifunza juu ya TIST, kilichonivutia zaidi ni Kilimo cha Uhifadhi (CF). Wakulima wengine wengi walipendezwa na upandaji miti, lakini kwangu, nilitaka kufanya mazoezi katika Kilimo cha Uhifadhi. Shamba langu ni dogo mno kuweza kuchukua miti mingi. Nimepanda wachache na bado ninapata faida zao. Tangu nilipoanza kufanya mazoezi ya CF, nimepata mavuno mengi kutoka kwa shamba langu dogo. Na umri wangu (nina umri wa miaka 64 sasa), naona Kilimo cha Uhifadhi ni rahisi kufanya kazi kwani si lazima kulima ardhi yangu. CF inadai kazi kidogo. Mavuno yamekuwa ya juu sana ikilinganishwa na wakati nilikuwa nikifanya njia za kitamaduni za kulima. Hata wakati kuna mvua kidogo, mazao yangu bado hufanya vizuri zaidi kuliko kwenye shamba langu la neigbours. 

Nimebaini mashimo ya CF hushikilia unyevu wa mchanga kwa muda mrefu. Pia, kwa sababu udongo haujasumbuliwa kwa kulima, unahifadhi unyevu mwingi wa mchanga pia. Ninataka kuhamasisha wakulima wengine wa TIST kujaribu Kilimo cha Uhifadhi. Kuongeza mavuno kwa CF na kusaidia katika vita dhidi ya njaa. Ikiwa una ardhi kubwa, unaweza kupata mapato mazuri kwa kuuza ziada. Kutana na Sarah Kathambi Kimathi, Bingwa wa Kilimo cha Uhifadhi wa TIST. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 TIST Hujiandaa kulipa Shiriki ndogo za Faida za Vikundi. K wa mara nyingine tena, Programu ya TIST inaandaa malipo mengine ya kugawana faida kwa vikundi vidogo. Lengo letu ni kuwezesha Vikundi Vingi kadri iwezekanavyo kulipwa. Mpango huo unajumuisha kuorodhesha kila kikundi kidogo katika nguzo. Tunapofungua tena Utaratibu, watumishi wa nguzo wanahitajika kutumikia nguzo moja kwa wakati mmoja. Hii nguzo moja lazima iwe na ukamilifu wa 100%. Hiyo ni, Vikundi Vyote Vigumu lazima vilikuwa vimeshakamilika katika miezi 9 iliyopita. Nguvu zote kwenye nguzo zinapaswa kuwa zimesimamishwa vizuri ili kufuzu kwa biashara ya kaboni. 

Kila kikundi kidogo kinapaswa kuwa na Mkataba wa Gesi ya Greenhouse iliyosainiwa na kupakiwa. Tunapojiandaa kufanya malipo ya kikundi kidogo, tumetengeneza Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara (FAQ) ili kukusaidia kuelewa maswala ya malipo ya kikundi kidogo na kusindika vyema. Vikundi Vidogo Vinaloulizwa Swali. 

1. Swali: Je! Wakulima wanaovuna miti yao huwaathiri vipi wakulima wanaowatunza? Mkulima ambaye hukata miti huumiza wakulima wengine na mpango wa TIST kwa ujumla, kwani hii inapunguza tani za kaboni kwenye hesabu, kwa hivyo mauzo kidogo, na ukizingatia kikundi kidogo kilikuwa kimepokea malipo ya mapema, hii inamaanisha kuwa wakulima wengine watapata pesa inayopunguzwa kwa kushiriki faida. Uaminifu wa mpango unapotea kwani tani za kaboni zilizonunuliwa na wateja hazitakuonyeshwa tena, hii inadhuru picha ya mpango wa TIST zaidi. 2. Swali: Je! Wale wanaovuna na kuingiza watapata kushiriki katika faida? Ndio, ni muhimu kuchukua nafasi ya tani za kaboni zilizopotea na kupata zaidi kutoka kwa eneo hilo la shamba. Walakini, zoezi hili bora ni kuweka shamba kuwa hai kwa miaka 30 kamili, kuongeza faida kwa kila mtu. 3. Swali: Je! Ni wakati gani wakulima walio na miti ndogo huanza kushiriki katika faida? Wakulima walio na miti ndogo huanza kugawana faida mara tu wakati miti yao ni kubwa, imekamilika, faida zinauzwa kwa pesa kidogo ya kaboni na gharama ya huduma ya kikundi kidogo. Wakulima wanashiriki faida kulingana na kaboni ni kiasi gani kwenye miti yao. 4. Swali: Ikiwa wakulima walipata hisa ya faida mwaka jana, wanapata hisa ya faida mwaka huu? Faida hizo zinashirikiwa kila mwaka. Kila mwaka, sehemu ya faida inatoka kwa faida ya mwaka huo. 5. Swali: Ikiwa miti ya mkulima imeharibiwa na maporomoko ya ardhi / moto / ugonjwa, je! Mazao mengine ya shamba yanaathiriwa kwa malipo ya kaboni? Je! Ikiwa watachukua nafasi? KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Ndio malipo ya kaboni yameathiriwa, kwani yatapunguza idadi ya miti na kwa kiasi kikubwa tani za kaboni, kuchukua miti zaidi ni mazoezi bora ya kurudisha idadi ya miti na kwa kiasi kikubwa tani za kaboni. 6. Swali: Kushiriki faida ni nini? Imehesabiwaje? Uuzaji wa tani za kaboni - gharama ya mpango = faida, kwa hivyo 70% ya faida hupata wakulima na 30% ya faida wanapata fedha za Shirika la kusafisha hewa la TIST, upanuzi kwa maeneo mapya, na nani anaye kusaidia katika “Ufungaji” wa kaboni . 

- Better alisema: Mapato - gharama = faida 7. Swali: Je! Wakulima wanastahili vipi kwa mgawo wa faida? Wakulima hupanda miti na kuifanya iwe na sifa ya kupata hisa ya faida. Mara tu tunapopata faida, wakulima wanapata 70% ya faida na CAAC hupata 30% ya faida. Wakulima wanaendelea kufuzu kila mwaka ikiwa watahifadhi miti yao hai kwa miaka 30. 8. Swali: Je! Kikundi kidogo kinawezaje kuhesabu sehemu yao ni nini? Tafadhali soma vocha yako ili upate habari juu ya tani ngapi, kiasi cha tani moja, na jumla ya matayarisho yote yaliyotolewa kwa Kikundi chako Kidogo. Kama kikundi kidogo, wanajadili kati yao jinsi ya kushiriki faida yao, kwa hiari hiyo inawasaidia wakulima kufanya uamuzi wao kwa roho ya shirika ndogo. 9. Swali: Kwa nini sehemu ya faida ni muhimu kwa TIST? 

Faida ni pesa inayotengenezwa na wakulima, hii inasaidia katika kulipa bili nyingi kama ada ya shule, chakula, mavazi n.k hivyo ni muhimu sana kwa wakulima. Sehemu ya faida ni muhimu kwa Shirika la Anga Safi Hewa kwa sababu inasaidia programu kupanua kwa wakulima zaidi. 10. Swali: Ikiwa mkulima akivuna, bado wanaweza kupokea Ugawanaji wa Faida? Ikiwa sivyo, kwa nini? Hapana, kwani faida hufanywa na uuzaji wa tani za kaboni, kwa hivyo miti ya kuvuna hakuna kuuza kwenye toni za kaboni, kwa hivyo hakuna faida. Uvunaji huwaumiza wakulima ambao wanabaki katika mpango. 11. Swali: Je! Wakulima watapokea malipo yao wakati huu wa Covid-19? Ndio. Tutaanza kulipa wakulima haraka iwezekanavyo. 12. Swali: Ni nani anayepata asilimia 30% ya faida? CAAC, hii inavutia watu kuwekeza katika TIST, husaidia kulipia gharama katika kukuza TIST, husaidia kulipia gharama ya ufungaji wa kaboni, upanuzi, gharama za ofisi, mishahara na malipo ya wafanyikazi, na gharama zingine nyingi. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 13. Swali: Je! Kila SG inapokea kiasi sawa cha kushiriki faida? Hapana. Kiasi cha hisa ya faida inategemea jinsi kiwango cha tani za kaboni zilizopangwa kutoka kwa miti ya Kikundi Kidogo. 14. Swali: Je! Hisa ya faida hufanyika mara ngapi? Sehemu ya faida itapokelewa kila mwaka 15. Swali: Ikiwa sehemu ya shamba iliyoharibiwa inaondolewa kwa sababu za asili, je! Wengine wanastahili? Ndio 16. Swali: Wakati gongo ipo lakini haijasasishwa inaweza kuathiri kushiriki faida? Inaposasishwa ni tani zilizopotea wakati huu? Ndio. SG ambazo hazijasasishwa katika miezi 12 iliyopita hazitapokea sehemu ya faida. Wakati shamba inakamilika tani zote zilizokopwa zimekamatwa na zinastahili kulipwa. 17. Swali: Je! Tunaweza kupeana habari ya kung’aa kwa kuinua badala ya kikundi? HAPANA.TIST inafanya kazi na Vikundi Vidogo na sio watu binafsi kwa kutumia visima. 18. Swali: Je! Kushiriki kaboni / faida itaendelea kwa miaka 30? Ndio. Kadiri miti inavyowekwa hai na TIST ina faida ya kushiriki. 19. Swali: Je! 

Kabichi ya mti inaweza kuzunguka kiasi gani? Je! Hii ni thamani gani? Mti unaweza kuzunguka zaidi ya tani 1 ya kaboni. Miti inapaswa kuwekwa hai kwa miaka 30 ili kuongeza kaboni hii. Bei za kaboni hutegemea masoko ya kaboni ya ulimwengu. TIST imeuza tani kutoka kati ya $ 3-10 US, kabla ya gharama. 20. Swali: Jinsi ya kupata tani zilizopotea hufanya kazi? Tani zilizopotea zitatengenezwa na kikundi kidogo kwa kupanda miti mingi zaidi. Wengine hufanya tani kwa kudumisha miti iliyopo na kuruhusu ukuaji wao uzidi tani zilizopotea. Kwa wengine hii itatokea kwa kawaida kwa sababu Tani zilizopotea ni sehemu ndogo na miti yao ina afya 21. Swali: Je! Vikundi visivyolipwa na akiba atalipwa? Lini? Ndio. Haraka iwezekanavyo 22. Swali: Je! Unaweza kuelezea kuthibitishwa dhidi ya kaboni iliyopangwa? Carbon iliyokatwa ni kaboni ambayo mti unayo au unashikilia shina na matawi.
