Taylor Moving and Storage and Allied Van Lines are please to announce their sponsorship renewal in Tree Canada.
Since 2009, our mutual organizations have worked together to plant over 20,000 trees. It is documented that one tree absorbs 13lbs. of carbon per year. As such, we are able to absorb 260,000 lbs. of CO2 per year while reclaiming many acres of land back to their original state.
We believe that there is nothing more important than our natural enviroment and are excited about our involvement with Tree Canada.
For more information on Tree Canada, we would welcome you to review their web site www.treecanada.ca.
