Plastic Rant.

Plastic Rant.

Do one more thing. I have this little thing about plastic – one may call it an obsession. I hate the stuff ! Plastic ain’t so fantastic. This toxic material is suffocating the planet, and nowhere more insidiously than in our oceans. Between 60 and 80% of ocean pollution is plastic. It is wrapped around […]

Late last year I attempted a crowd funding project on Pozible, really just to see if I could get some alternative  funding for some trees that I was keen to plant in Kinglake.

An Urbanite’s Quest.

After meeting Neil Faragher at the Sustainable Living Festival in February, and then meeting up at a very cool Coburg cafe (two monks) I found out more about Neil’s “quest to plant 1000 trees in a year“. I loved the idea and am happy for Fifteen Trees to support Neil in his quest (gotta love […]

One Hundred Cars offset by Ballarat City.

Justin Krousoratis at the Ballarat City Honda and European dealership has just carbon offset his 100th car with Fifteen Trees. Since April 2010 the team at Honda and Peugeot have help to plant 15 trees for each car they sell. The trees have gone mostly to local  Landcare groups, although some of the trees have gone to the reserve at West Gate Park (look down to the […]

At this stage, I can accommodate all requests and are happy to use a variety of well […]

Over the year, Fifteen Trees was approached by a number of  organisations asking to donate a green prize for their fundraisers.  Fifteen Trees is more than happy to provide a carbon offsetting prize to a worthwhile cause and as a result in 2010, sixty trees were planted in rural Victoria. Two cars were carbon offset (ie 30 trees planted) as part […]
