We've just made our 4th donation to JUST ONE Tree this year! 🌲🌳 It means we have added 60 trees to increase the size of the forests in countries, such as Brazil, Madagascar and Kenya. It means more kelp can be regenerated to balance our oceans off Australia and the Philippines. It means rural employment and a greener future for the communities.   Our 60 additional trees this quarter will remove approximately 18.48 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over the next 25 years. 🙌
