  1. Hello Colleen,
    Thank you for the opportunity to be involved with fifteen trees. We are really pleased to be a part of the program and feedback from families has been positive. Congratulations on such an innovative and practical program.

    Hi Colleen

    I wish to thank you for Carbon Offsetting my tours. Ecotourism is the cutting edge of Environmentally Sustainable tourism, and with your help i can achieve my goals of reducing my Carbon Footprint.
    Well done with your business
    Andrew Grant

  3. Ben says:

    I would be a tad cautious about offsetting claims here guys, because until those trees are mature (based on the calculations of number required) nothing has been offset. You may find the ACCC will not be so kind.

    Good luck but nothing new.

  4. You are correct Ben – the trees do need to ‘get up’ before they even start to collect the amounts of carbon that a car may emit. Fifteen Trees doesn’t claim to ‘offset your carbon’ but rather ‘reduce your carbon footprint’. I do tell this to my supporters but maybe I need to be clearer. Thank you for leaving a comment. (Hate to have the ACCC after me). Colleen
