TREES PLANTED

  “Thank you Colleen for running such a fantastic program and thank you to the businesses that have supported it.  We are so grateful for the trees that we received, as when we moved to our property 6 months ago, we only had one lonely old gum tree up in the back corner of our 5 acres.  We are looking forward to the animals and bird life that the new trees will bring as well as not having such a bare block any more!”  C & B M.   Ballarat City European carbon offset 4 of its new Peugeots last month. As a result the family at Springmount Property have been able to plant 60 native trees this winter. New Peugeot owners Creed, Mental Health Nursing and Isherwood all now have smaller carbon footprints thanks to the forward thinking of Justin Krousoratis at the Ballarat Peugeot dealership. Keep warm – Colleen

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.

‘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’. Ballarat Wildlife Park

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.
