Marlie Grant is one of those supporters that Fifteen Trees has come to treasure. She touches base every now and then, buying trees for herself and her friends. This time round Marie has bought 30 trees of which 15 were purchased as a gift for her friend Kellie Hansen.

Marlie and Kellie, 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 Marlie for your continued 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!
