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.

The trees planted out at Haddon by Jacqui and his family were generously paid for by a number of individuals from Ballarat City Council. Ian Rossiter (Manager of Public Space & Environment) carbon offset 2 cars, while Councillor Samantha McIntosh and Councillor Ben Taylor both offset their own cars. As a result, 60 trees were planted and 4 cars were offset. These trees would not have got ‘into the ground’ without Fifteen Trees supporters – they are a beautiful breed.

The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Trees supporters – 5745.
This year, we planted Simon’s trees at Westgate Park in Port Melbourne with the team from Westgate Biodiversity, a not-for-profit organisation located at the base of one of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks and busiest gateways to the city.
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.
‘We’re incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors for supporting this year’s planting.
