What is the best for the environment? What is better in the long run?Well, there is plenty of information out there. It all seems to confirm the best way to go is REAL!
REAL is best.
What is making a move to even more environmentally friendly is the rent a tree movement. Some bigger centers are starting to offer rent a tree. It is a live potted tree that can be rented.
Even better is the large potted tree that would be planted after christmas.
At the office we have a real tree in a big pot. It is more of a bonsai Japanese black pine, but with decorations it looks like a great christmas tree.
The City of Timmins takes the real tree one step further. Trees are collected and mulched, which makes them useful again!
Plan ahead for next year. Find a source for a real potted tree and reserve it now.
I have a spruce tree on my front lawn, now 20 years old, that spent about 6 years in a pot before being planted. It gets the lights every year outside, but for one year it was a great tree for Santa to put presents under.
