Danni Carr and Ash Grunwald (Byron Bay, NSW) have established an Eco Award Winningcompany called Earth Bottles. Treading lightly on the Earth, Danni and Ash donate a percentage of their bottle sales to community groups for their tree planting projects. Fifteen Trees is delighted to be working in association with Danni, Ash and of course the wonderful Briody Scholes (Torquay, Vic).
Fifteen Trees has been contributing to revegetation projects in Upper Gouldburn District of Victoria since 2010 and this year the relationship has continued. The 90 trees recently donated by Earth Bottles were planted at the Webb Farm in Glenburn with volunteers from the ANZ.

The landowner has fenced off large areas of the farm and with the help of Landcare and supporters like Earth Bottles and Fifteen Trees, we are gradually revegetating the farm after many of the existing trees were destroyed in the 2009 bushfires. We had a nice sunny day this day as you can see in the attached photos.
Thanks again for your donation of the plants it’s very much appreciated.

Massive thank you to the team from Earth Bottles. Not only does Fifteen Trees benefit from their generosity, but through their company, they also generously supportClean Coast Collective, Beyond Blue and Breast Cancer Network Australia.Corporate social responsibility at its best.
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.
For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.
There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
