"You will never love art well until you love what she mirrors better." -- And from that, was born the idea to embody a Carbon Neutral Travelling Illustrator. -- Protect what my illustrations mirror; the very natural world we humans inhabit. -- The first of the carbon offset original illustrations is the Banana Plant (Musa Acuminata), the godparent of all banana species. -- With the purchase of this original illustration you also receive a native Australian tree planted in your name. This is part of @cncfaus and their forestation projects that sequesters carbon while helping to restore degraded land and conserve the natural biodiversity of Australia. -- Your tree will absorb an average of 0.15 of a tonne of carbon dioxide. That's 150 kilograms of CO2; the equivalent of offsetting 7,000 km of average driving time in your car. For some, that is a year of commuting.
