Eco-award winning company Earth Bottles and Fifteen Trees are in cahoots! Together we are ridding the earth of plastic bottles (one of the BIGGEST pollutants of our waterways and oceans) and planting trees! Treading lightly on the Earth, CEO Danni Carr and partner Ash Grunwald 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 amazing Briody Scholes (Torquay, Vic).
Danni Carr – CEO – Earth Bottles
Fifteen Trees has been contributing to revegetation projects in the Murrinbindi Shire of Victoria since 2010 and this year the relationship has continued. The 90 trees recently donated by Earth Bottles were planted at Flowerdale by Stephen Joblin and his Landcare team.

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 support Clean 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. (Feature image from Mt Worth Landcare).
Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
