Fifteen Trees and Kings Cars have been in a business relationship for 7 years now and together we have planted almost 5,000 trees. For every Citroen and Mitsubishi ASX sold at the Ballarat dealership, Fifteen Trees plants 15 trees. These trees cover the carbon emissions of the new cars for one year.
Recently, Shelford Primary School were the beneficiaries of Peter King’s generosity … to the tune of 150 trees.
School teacher Louisa-Jane writes …
The staff, children and parents of Shelford Primary school wish to thank Peter King for the gift of trees (150). We had a fantastic day planting. It was amazing to watch how they jumped out of the vehicles and all grabbed something and got stuck in to planting the trees. The kids really enjoyed it. They all took turns at putting the trees into the ground and getting the stakes and tree guards. One of the girls was a tree whisperer encouraging each tree to ‘grow well because you’re awesome’.

Thank you Louisa-Jane for your beautiful work with the students out at Shelford, and thank you too Peter King for providing the trees for the school to plant.

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.
‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
