Imagine 8,400 tonnes of CO2-e – it’s the amount of carbon 365 average people will produce in Australia each year. Or the amount of carbon emitted annually by over 2,000 average sized cars. It’s also the amount of carbon that has now been offset with our 12 month offset, CarbonCover 365.

Taking climate action is generally our top priority when it comes to revegetating land in Australia and New Zealand. That is no different at this forest growing not far from Byron Bay where we're also hoping to see the return of wildlife and increase the overall productivity of the land.

From Victoria’s Great Ocean Road to Far North Queensland, Greenfleet forests stretch far and wide. While we work to take critical climate action through native reforestation, another benefit of our work is economically supporting regional communities through our forestry operations.

Kowanyama Shire is a remote community located on the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland. Meaning “place of many waters” in the Yir Yoront language, Kowanyama is also a special place for Greenfleet. On World Environment Day in 2018, Greenfleet partnered with Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council and Telstra to plant more than 1,000 native and fruit trees.

‘Anxious’ is a word that often comes up in relation to the way we feel about our climate. Many of us are anxious that we are not doing enough and that our carbon footprint is negatively impacting the world around us.

Trees are remarkable at sequestering carbon from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, but they also play a vital role in the water cycle and improving water quality.
