Jenny.
Thank you kindly to the following individuals who all ‘found’ Fifteen Trees on the internet and then took the next step to carbon offset their cars. Celie Burton, Felix Junker, Tristan Stanley (from Lime Ratings) and Andrew Wyatt have all carbon offset their cars for the next 12 months. Through their support, 60 trees were planted at Ross Creek in the Central Highlands District of Victoria. Here is a photo of the trees that have been beautifully planted with protection from rabbits and weeds (and playful dogs).
Cheers – Colleen.
The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Trees supporters – 6880[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
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.
For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.
There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
