The Impact of Trees
- Trees remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. This process, known as 'carbon sequestration’, involves absorbing CO2 and storing carbon, effectively cleansing our air and purging harmful elements from our environment.
Beyond their carbon-sequestering abilities, trees also act as oxygen generators, they provide shade and by releasing water vapours through their leaves, trees contribute to the Earth’s natural cooling mechanisms. Feel free to give a tree a little hug next time you step outdoors and thank it for it’s cooling effect on our planet.

Hot Tips for Reducing Your Impact
- You don’t need to be an environmental hero, there are small daily changes we can make which lead to meaningful impact. Small steps count:
-Remembering your reusable bags and reusable cups when going out.
-Try to avoid using a clothes drying machine in the home, get out that clothes horse.
-Switch over to LED light bulbs and smart appliances.
-If you need to use airconditioning, set your temperature to 26 degrees celsius during the day, 22 degrees when sleeping.
-Choosing local, organic foods that are in season.
-Turn your water heater down to 49 degrees celsius. This can save 250kg CO2 a year.
Why Trees?
- Tree planting has a significant impact beyond just carbon sequestration. They offer wildlife habitats and support ecosystems which provide additional food sources and income for local communities. The projects we work with employ people from their surrounding communities, extending our impact beyond environmentalism. These efforts form the foundation of enduring and sustainable restoration projects. There are various methods for carbon sequestration, but we feel our tree-planting initiatives have the most meaningful, holistic, and tangible impact.

What is a carbon footprint?
-
Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions.
-
-
Planting 20 trees today is the equivalent of 1 tonne of CO2 balance as the trees reach maturity over a 50 year period. Based on this calculation we work on the average of 20 trees per tonne of CO2 we want to balance for each category.

How do you work out the averages for each product?
Our Carbon Accountant did all the heavy lifting here to ensure we calucualted verified amounts for each bundle.
Step: 1: Research source data for each of the sub-category activities using Australian Bureau of Statistics (abs.gov.au) and/or other verifiable data sources, e.g., Government departments, industry bodies and published papers, ensuring data is appropriate for Australian populations
Step 2: Record all source data references and assumptions
Step 3: Validate the source data by checking alternative sources to ensure that the data used is credible and relevant to the sub-category activity being reported.
Step 4: Assess and select suitable emission factors for the sub-categories activities. Emission factors must be from Australian Government sources or known emission factor databases.
