Flexicar at Westgate Reserve.
TREES PLANTED
On World Environment Day (June 5th), staff from Flexicar joined in with Friends of Westgate Reserve to plant out 300 trees.
“The future is really exciting in Westgate,” says Tony Flude, who helped manage and coordinate the event. “We expect a lot more visitors coming here over the next few years.”
Every year, Fifteen Trees organises trees to be planted to on Flexicar’s behalf. The trees will help reduce the carbon footprint of the cars in the fleet. This company was switched on from our first meeting and were also very keen to be involved in the actual planting of the trees.
Thank you to Simon Bracken from Flexicar for being such so approachable and all the best with your entry in The Melbourne Awards . These awards celebrate the inspirational Melburnians who dedicate their time and energy for the benefit of 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.
