Eco-Friendly Live Holiday Trees

As information surrounding climate change push more consumers to live sustainably, the Living Christmas Company is helping consumers celebrate the holidays in an eco-friendly way.

The brand "loans" living Christmas trees to consumers in Southern California, only to replant them in the soil after the holidays. The Christmas-tree-rental service means consumers can enjoy the fresh and festive scent of pine in their homes while reducing their carbon footprint.

Since these trees typically end up being turned into mulch–or worse, being sent to landfill–replanting the tree offers a variety of eco-friendly benefits. For example, more trees ensure there is more oxygen and less carbon, provides a habitat for wildlife, reduce erosions, and reduce the effects of flooding.
