Transport to and from Point Lonsdale Health and Wellness has the largest environmental impact of any other component of the business with on average 177,000km travelled by both clients and staff each year.
Riding a bike, walking or getting an electric vehicle isn’t an option for everyone, especially if you are in pain. Therefore, we are beginning a tree planting project on the Bellarine where we are working towards planting 6,000 trees in an attempt to offset our emissions associated with transport.
Some initiatives exist whereby you can send funds to a program offshore to plant trees. This seems a great idea, however we have ambitiously chosen to do this ourselves. We believe there is more to be gained by collaborating with our local community, raising awareness and diversifying our skills! As a clinic we will source trees indigenous to the area and be involved in the preparation, the planting and caring of these.
