When RMIT film student Georgia Sampson approached me to ask permission to make her final assignment about Fifteen Trees I jumped at the chance. I knew that she would get some beautiful images and find out some great stories from some of the people I’ve had the privilege to meet and work with over the past 4 years. Over the course of a month or so, Georgia made a fabulous 7 minute film and she managed to get my ramblings into something cohesive (no mean feet).

Georgia also wanted to have 15 trees planted on her behalf. So, she went off to Avalon Nursery, choose 15 native trees and promptly got her family to help plant them. One dynamic film-maker!
Thank you Georgia for the lovely film you made about my company, and also thank you to Andrew who always looked so happy to drive you all over the countryside, hold your microphone in place and even plant a few trees.
Georgia’s film can be found here.

We cannot do without trees nor bees. Ana and Sven from Amber Drop Honey, recognise that we are all interconnected, and that there is no future in taking without giving back.
According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
