TREES PLANTED

Libby and Jacqui are 2 amazing women who have established a funeral business in the beautiful district of Woodend (Vic). But this is no ordinary funeral parlor. Natural Grace provides eco-friendly funerals to families. In practice this means; the deceased ones are cared for with essential oils and organic hair and skin products, the coffins, urns and shrouds are sourced from certified suppliers and for every funeral service, one tree is planted. These trees are planted as a community kindness and there is no charge to the families. What a wonderful caring business Libby and Jacqui have established. Vaughan trees 028 Last month, I organised 50 trees on the behalf of Natural Grace. The trees were planted by Noel Muller (Ranger Northern Goldfields) and his team at the historic Vaughan Springs in the Castlemaine Diggings National Park.

‘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’.

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.
