Peter King and team from King’s Cars Ballarat has been generous supporters of Fifteen Trees since 2010. During that time Kings Cars has purchased over 8,000 trees for community groups in the Ballarat district.
Fifteen Trees plants 15 trees for every Mitsubishis ASX sold at the Ballarat dealership. Corporate social responsibility at its best!
Recently, on the behalf of Kings Cars, we organised the planting of 650 trees at one of our favourite places – Narmbool at Elaine, Victoria.
Narmbool is a 2,000-hectare property, carrying approximately 12,000 adult sheep. The property is also home to koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and platypuses. Since 1980, the management team have made major contributions to the development of the farm and the protection of the environment. These have included a strong program of tree planting to reduce erosion and provide protection for sheep.

Helping out with the planting were the students from Ballarat High School. They worked tireless under the winter skies with the help from Mathew Dowler and the Education Team at Narmbool.

Thank you Peter for your continued support of our re-vegetation projects in the Ballarat District. Another 43 of your ASX’s are driving out of the dealership with a reduced carbon footprint.
If you would like to discuss how you too can reduce the carbon of your fleet, contact Colleen on 0400 040 659 or [email protected]. In the meantime, you can find out more here.
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!
