Cool solutions for a hot planet

Planting 15 trees for every car in the fleet each year since 2019, we are so pleased to partner with Waldron Heating, Cooling, & Hot Water to ensure our great country thrives.

TREES PLANTED

150

Planting fifteen trees per vehicle is a simple and effective way to increase corporate environmental awareness and responsibility, which is why Waldron Heating, Cooling, & Hot Water  opted in.

Revegetation projects tend to rely on a number of sponsors to get trees in the ground. The more individual businesses that pledge to plant, the more likely the project is to grow into a resilient self-sustaining eco-system.

Onsite at Narmbool: tree plantings to offset the carbon emissions from every car in the Waldron fleet annually since 2019

 

This year their 150 trees (one for every car in the Waldron fleet) were planted as part of an ongoing commitment we have with Narmbool, in Elaine on on Wadawurrung Country to help vegetate the area.

Many species at Narmbool benefit from the tree plantings – all creatures great and small!

 

Karl and his qualified team have been servicing heating and cooling services (plus solar solutions)  in both businesses and in the home for Ballarat and Western District for over thirty years. Waldron Heating, Cooling & Hot Water also offers a clean, green and sustainable option when it comes to powering the home – solar power. And given their customers are spread over a wide area, they travel a tonne of kilometres annually, so it’s a brilliant move opting to plant trees to offset that carbon emission which all of vehicles inevitably produce.

We commend the ongoing commitment Karl and his team have pledged to Mother Earth. And thank them for reducing their carbon footprint in such an easy and practical way.

‘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’.

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.
