Telecom to manage tree emissions
AIRSHED is pleased to be working with Telecom to help manage the greenhouse gas emissions associated with The Telecom Tree displays it is running in Auckland (Western Park, on the corner of Williamson and Ponsonby Roads) and Wellington (Frank Kitts Park, Jervois Quay).
Each tree is 26 metres tall and has 37,000 lights that create 16 million different colour combinations. Children can call Santa Claus from special phone boxes located at the base of the trees, to make their Christmas wishes.
At the Auckland location, Telecom is also running a mobile phone recycling appeal, where Starship, New Zealand’s national children’s hospital, will benefit. In Wellington, gifts can be left for Women’s Refuge.
AIRSHED will measure the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the electricity used to power the tree light displays and provide Telecom with Gold Standard carbon offset products to cover these.
