24. New plantings with Greenfleet

Thursday, November 12, 2009

In the wake of last year's devastating Australian bush fire season, Able are now focusing on reforestation for their CO2 offsets. To this end Able will be working with Greenfleet to offset CO2 through tree planting. Greenfleet is an approved Abatement Provider under the Australian Government's Greenhouse Friendly Initiative. In addition to the CO2  offset, there are other benefits;
  • Reduced soil erosion
  • Enhanced micro-climates in the surrounding areas
  • Improved water quality
  • Reduced ground and water salinity
  • Wind protection of arable crops
  • Shelter belts for livestock
  • Wildlife corridor
The trees planted by Greenfleet will be protected for a minimum of 100 years.
Follow this link to the Greenfleet site if you'd like to review their planting methodology;  http://www.greenfleet.com.au/Global/Landowners/index.aspx
Able will also continue to work with offset provider Climate Positive.       http://www.climatepositive.org/
