Give Potted Christmas Trees A Go

Once the Christmas season arrives our carbon footprints usually tend to become a little bit deeper, although there's plenty of eco-friendly things people can very easily do to scale back our footprints.  Here are a few ideas: 

It is easy for those charged with responsibility for the Christmas meal to get somewhat fraught, we seek to accommodate each individual taste and all scenarios, the end result is we often shop for far too much food and finish up with tons of waste. Before you go to the shops try to make a comprehensive list of all the meals you will make for the festive season this should focus you upon the things you genuinely need to buy.

Next there is the trash produced by excess packaging and wrapping. It is a whole lot better and more thoughtful to make home made gifts and this will without any doubt reduce your impact. Why not consider creating your own greeting cards from scraps or your own gift wrap that you can dump in the compost when you've done with it? Decorate your house with evergreens, like holly and ivy instead of tinsel .

While we’re on the topic of decoration, the unnecessary cutting of fir trees at this time of year ought to be addressed. Perhaps you should give some thought to living Christmas trees. Taking care of living Christmas trees is really easy provided that you follow a few simple rules.

If you explore online you will find established garden suppliers who are willing to ship potted Christmas trees to your front door, and if you care for your tree the right way and keep it living, the following Christmas you will have to do no more than retrieve it from the back garden. For each year you manage to keep your potted christmas trees alive, means that you will not need to splash out for another one, which is excellent news as Christmas trees don't come cheap. This sounds a great deal easier than setting off for a Christmas tree and then asking yourself how you will ever squash it into the car! And you have a further bonus, your car will not wind up full of fir needles.



Potted Christmas trees have good rootballs that enable your tree to remain in good condition – a cut tree can never live for long – for this reason your tree will hold onto its needles. The constant sweeping up of needles is among those tasks you could do without during this chaotic time of year!
