Consider using a living Christmas tree this year
This is something that I think about each year when we take down our tree and then pull it outside to be taken away. It seems like a waste for that tree to have grown for so many years, only to be cut, decorated, and then thrown away a few weeks later. This is why I am considering a living Christmas tree this year.
A recent study shows that the Carbon Footprint of a real tree is very much lower than that of an imitation tree, even when the real tree is shredded for mulch at the end of the festive season.
