Demand on eco-friendly products is burgeoning, as a form adaptation to climate change mitigation strategy. Hence, environmental issues are still considered as an emerging topic that concerns the tourism sector. Planned Behavior Theory (TPB) describes the formation of environmentally friendly behavior intentions in green purchase intentions of natural batik dyes. Data were obtained from 200 visitors who ever purchased natural dyed batik during their craft shopping tours to the city of Batik, Pekalongan Indonesia. The data were further analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The initial model's calculation results reveal that green subjective norm has no significant relationship on green purchase intention. Furthermore, green product knowledge and attitude positively impact green purse intention of batik products made from natural ingredients. The results showed that INELOC does not moderate the relationship between attitude (ATT) on green purchase intention. Craft shopping tour is becoming popular choice of sightseeing bundling offered by travel agents. Besides its positive value, increasing demand on the handicraft shopping also has a negative consequence on the environment. The destruction occurs as a result of rapid growth in consumption, hence, purchasing environmentally friendly products can be a way to minimize the climate change and balancing the ecosystems. Demand on eco-friendly products is burgeoning, as a form adaptation to climate change mitigation strategy. Realizing that the river pollution can endanger people's health, MSMEs have started producing batik with natural dyes. Although the number of MSMEs that produce natural dyed batik products is not high, the Pekalongan City Government is continually socialize the importance of reducing chemical waste and river pollution. These findings have important implications for marketers and policymakers of natural dye batik.

Worldwide agroforestry has been recognized as a potential greenhouse gases mitigation strategy under Kyoto protocol. And this is due to its potential in carbon sequestration. There are several agroforestry technologies with different rate in carbon sequestration. In that respect carbon sequestration can depend on type of technology, climate, time since land use change and previous land use. Our knowledge in this topic from the tropical countries such as Tanzania is how ever very limited. To address this challenge this study was undertaken in Kilombero District where the local community are practicing various agroforestry technologies. The objective of this study was to understand the carbon sequestration in different trees species in agroforestry technologies and also to understand which agroforestry technology provide the greatest benefit in term of carbon sequestration. Ecological survey was conducted and a total of 90 plot engaged in different agroforestry technologies were randomly selected from three villages of different altitudinal range. Pivot table was used in analysis and allometric equation was used for computing biomass and carbon. The result shows that Mangifera indica contributed highest carbon over all the tree species encountered during ecological survey with 189.88 Mg C ha−1. Home garden, Mixed intercropping, Parkland and Boundary with 19 514.19 MgCha−1, 648.44MgCha−1,144.79 MgCha−1 and 139.29 Mg C ha−1 respectively were the agroforestry technology practiced in Kilombero. From the results Home garden contributed more to carbon sequestration and this study results can be used to inform practitioners and policy makers on the most effective agroforestry technologies for carbon sequestration since agroforestry technologies are expected to play important role as climate change mitigation strategy.

Carbon fixed by vegetated coastal ecosystems (blue carbon) can mitigate anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, though its effectiveness differs with the spatial scale of interest. A literature review compiling carbon sequestration rates within key ecosystems confirms that blue carbon ecosystems are the most efficient natural carbon sinks at the plot scale, though some overlooked biogeochemical processes may lead to overestimation. Moreover, the limited spatial extent of coastal habitats minimizes their potential at the global scale, only buffering 0.42% of the global fossil fuel carbon emissions in 2014. Still, blue carbon plays a role for countries with moderate fossil fuel emissions and extensive coastlines. In 2014, mangroves mitigated greater than 1% of national fossil fuel emissions for countries such as Bangladesh, Colombia and Nigeria. Considering that the Paris Agreement is based on nationally determined contributions, we propose that mangrove blue carbon may contribute to climate change mitigation at this scale in some instances alongside other blue carbon ecosystems.
