Why choose a real tree?
Reduce your carbon footprint by purchasing British grown trees, locally. It can take a single tree up to 10 years (thats approximately 1 Christmas tree lifetime) to filter the amount of CO2 produced by a 90minute car journey, so the closer the better!
Recycling your tree will reduce your carbon footprint by up to 80%. Compost a natural tree after Christmas to use as mulch in your garden. Or alternatively, have your tree picked up by the council and turned into chipping. Visit www.recyclenow.com for more information.
Every tree harvested has another planted in it's place. 1 million Christmas trees; thats 350 acres of lungs, filtering up to 22 million kg of CO2 from the atmosphere every year.
