Carbon offsetting at Glenburn, Victoria.

TREES PLANTED

When you carbon offset your car or flight with Fifteen Trees,  you get to see exactly where your trees have been planted and you directly support our rural environment and communities.

Huge group of committed tree planters.
Hi Colleen,

Your trees (390) were planted at the Break O’Day Reserve in Glenburn and will help with the re-vegetation of this fire affected reserve along the Yea River. Thank you for encouraging companies to support our efforts. Regards, Chris Cobern (Fire Recovery Coordinator)

Melbourne group APlus Apprentice +Trainee Services have once again taken the ‘green pathway’ and carbon offset their fleet of cars (26) with Fifteen Trees.  Janette Etherington (CEO) wanted her trees planted in the 2009 bushfire affected area of Murrindindi in Victoria.  Many Landcare groups and land owners in this region are ‘flat out’ replanting  to restore this beautiful environment. With the support of Apprenticeships Plus almost 400 extra  trees were planted this year.

Thank you Janette for your green vision and let’s hope other CEO’s take your lead!

Cheers – Colleen

The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Trees supporters – 5685.

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.
