TREES PLANTED

To help an event that I am attending to be a little greener, Fifteen Trees has planted out 100 native trees. The Pro-blogger Training Event is an annual conference for bloggers to come together to learn and network  – with the goal of building better blogs.

The trees have been planted in a wildlife corridor in Brown Hill (just west of Ballarat). They are all native species that will in years to come, provide habitat for our native birds, reptiles, insects and mammals. They will also capture carbon and help keep the water flowing to the local creek (Yarrawee) a little cleaner.

Not a bad effort for a small grove of trees.

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.
