set to launch as a non-profit organization in Australia in 2024.

“Our mission…. is not to pressure the fossil fuel industry or drive political campaigns against our government to create the climate solutions the world needs. We acknowledge that large corporations are deeply integrated into our economy, but we can find alternatives to replace their services“
Gayan Koshala Wijewardhane. Co Founder Code Blue.The Myth.
Many climate activists blame large fossil fuel corporations, manufacturing industries, and aviation for climate change. But are they truly at fault, or are they simply meeting the supply and demand needs of households? Similarly, in deforestation, large tracts of land are owned by households and agricultural farmers, not by large corporations. Climate mitigation efforts must recognize the true sources of the issue and where to begin. If the goal is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, we must address these fundamental aspects.
Make it stand out.
Believe it.
We believe in individuals: empowering every household in Sri Lanka can make a difference. That is why the Code Blue Project was initiated. Our goal is to mitigate climate issues by starting at the household level, providing solutions and strategic plans to tackle these challenges.
By introducing a well-developed strategic plan to reduce carbon footprints and fossil fuel needs at the domestic level, we can achieve our aim faster than we think.
It is simple to raise awareness about alternative energy sources that can replace fossil fuels. However, we must acknowledge that we cannot entirely replace fossil fuels and other resources, as most advanced technologies, such as those in the automobile, transport, and aviation industries, are based on fossil fuels. Nonetheless, we can significantly reduce consumption at the household level. such as replace LPG with biomass to hydrogen gas, Green energy with bio mass, bio char , carbon forming.
"Simply, we extract energy from biomass and return biochar to the ground."
Imagine if every household captures one ton of carbon every year. We could save 21 million tons of carbon annually, just from Sri Lanka.
Build it.
To introduce a cost-effective and eco-friendly energy system from the grassroots level, we propose the following four steps:
Training and Development: Educate and empower communities on sustainable practices. By providing training programs, we can equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to adopt and maintain eco-friendly practices.
Identify Native Trees and Start a Seed Bank: Select appropriate native tree species for planting and establish 25 nurseries with small-scale seed banks. in every district. This initiative will help preserve biodiversity and provide a sustainable source of trees for reforestation efforts.
Planting Man-Made Green Belts: Establish green belts around domestic areas to enhance sustainability. This will reduce deforestation caused by agricultural farming and promote self-sufficient homesteads, contributing to a more sustainable environment. We monitor each step with location monitoring App.
Introduce Eco-Friendly Biomass-to-Hydrogen Kits: Provide participants with basic biomass-to-hydrogen kits to generate clean energy from biomass. This will offer a sustainable and clean energy source for households. The kit is in final production stage.
Grow it.
Additionally, we plan to:
Awareness Program about the Carbon Credit Concept: Develop an infrastructure for a carbon credit registering and trading platform. Sri Lanka lags behind other countries in this area and lacks an independent non-profit organization to manage carbon registration. Therefore, we have decided to establish a farmers owned non-profit organization for carbon credit registry and trading.
Introduce Vermicomposting: Promote vermicomposting to reduce household waste and landfills. This initiative will help stop landfilling and prevent the creation of greenhouse gases from household waste.
Implement a Self-Sustainable Rice Agricultural Program: Develop a program to minimize the use of unhealthy fertilizers in rice agriculture. This will promote sustainable farming practices and improve the health of the soil and crops.
By focusing on these initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable future and address climate challenges at the household level.
Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status?
Each of these steps will gradually bring us closer to achieving the NetZero aim before 2050. If the ATO allows us to register as a non-profit organization with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, we can engage the Sri Lankan community in Australia to demonstrate how we can achieve this goal together.

“Yes, it is true. Some governments play a dodgy game by buying carbon credits from their own markets, especially when they aim to balance their economies' inflation. They often buy carbon credits from local farmers or domestic industries that need financial aid. ”
