According to Friends of the Earth, over 8 million Christmas trees are bought in the UK everyDecember. That's a lot of potential for those trees to have a sizeable carbon footprint if theyaren't sourced from somewhere near your home, or to be discarded in a way that causesunnecessary waste.
Sustainable alternatives include growing your own tree (holly, apple and Japanese Maple arerecommended), renting one or just making sure you burn it, plant it or give it to your localcouncil's green waste scheme when you're done.
People are also being encouraged to make the most out of their pine trees once the festiveseason is over - with suggestions including eating it - yes, really.
