Australia is founded on land that was stolen from Indigenous people. All people who live here today or have lived here in the past, have not benefited equally from the continuing dispossession of Indigenous people. Pay the Rent is a step towards acknowledging these facts.

Greenfleet’s mission is to sequester carbon in all its practical and economically viable forms, but primarily by planting biodiverse native forests in Australia and New Zealand. These carbon sequestration activities aim to reduce the detrimental impact our environment has endured and to create a sustainable environmental future, including providing habitat for native fauna.
Greenfleet plants native forests that drawdown on carbon dioxide in the atmosphere while restoring habitat and biodiversity. These forests are protected for up to 100 years to make sustainable and long-term climate action for decades to come.
