Peter King from Kings Cars, has been a great supporter of local Ballarat community groups since 2010. During this time, they have chipped to help plant over 5,000 trees. These trees have gone to school groups, environmental networks and Landcare groups across the Central Highlands of Victoria for tree planting project. For every new Mitsubishi ASX sold at the Ballarat dealership, Fifteen Trees plants 15 trees.
Late last term, Sarah Page and her environmental teams at Villa Maria PS, planted 345 trees on the school grounds.

The tree planting was done with students from all years during their Environmental Education sessions. Many thanks for your continued partnership with our school and for the great deal of work that goes into organising such a wonderfully enriching ecological experience for our students and the wider community.

Huge thank you to Peter King and the team at Kings Cars. Your trees are being planted across the district by the most amazing teachers and their amazing students.

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!
