Go green

During the month of June, it’s even easier being green. The Resene Paint it Green promotion sees $1 from every green 60ml testpot sold in Resene ColorShops donated to environmental charity Trees that Count. To date, the trees planted from the Resene Paint it Green programme have removed more than 1900 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Resene Eco.Decorator programme has separately reduced a further 1000 tonnes of carbon.
