Sue McIennan from David Reid Homes wanted some trees planted on the behalf of a client not only to help reduce their carbon footprint but also to give back to their local community and environment.

Sue your trees have been planted in your home state of Queensland, along the banks of the Johnstone River. Students from Innisfail State College planted your trees as part of a larger planting of 1000 trees on National Tree Day. The trees were selected and laid out in consultation with the Johnstone Region Landcare Group.
Thank you Sue for finding Fifteen Trees and for your support of our native environment.

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!
