Effective Electrical A Grade Citizens

Effective Electrical are bright sparks. Not only because they are experts in commercial, industrial, and domestic wiring, as well as with solar installations, but they are bright sparks because also they deeply care for our environment.

TREES PLANTED

600

The Ballarat based business have long demonstrated this commitment via tree planting – 5 trees per every installation they do, and have supported Fifteen Trees since 2018. Over that time a whopping 2,650 trees have been planted on their behalf. This year alone they have planted 600!

Narmbool on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people

Recently the following trees have been planted on behalf of Effective Electrical at Narmbool, which are the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people: Stringybark, Peppermint, Snow Gum, Candlebark, Manna Gum,Blackwood, Sheoaks (Black/Drooping), Golden Wattle, Silver Banksia, Silver/Black Wattle and Yarra Gum.

Narmbool is owned and operated by Sovereign Hill, and this land exemplifies sustainable farming within a diverse and fragile ecosystem. Famed for its fine quality merino wool, Narmbool also protects bushland and Williamsons Creek as habitat for native wildlife and flora.

A Subscription for the Planet. Winter Update.

June 10, 2026

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.

Hotels for Trees. VIC

May 17, 2026

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.

Collective Action. Individuals for the Planet.

April 29, 2026

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.
