Interesting..🧐

⭐️🎄Did you know? 🎄⭐️

Artificial Christmas Trees have a hefty carbon footprint— to the tune of up to 88lbs of CO2 per tree, which is over 10X higher than that of a sustainably grown, properly recycled real Christmas tree.
And that isn’t considering the environmental damage artificial trees cause as they slowly break down in a landfill.

Yes, real Christmas trees are more eco-friendly and a better choice for the environment. It may feel counter-intuitive, but it's much more sustainable to cut down a real tree each year. That’s because most small-scale Christmas tree farms are inherently sustainable, leaving certain sections open for harvesting every year, while keeping other areas roped off to give younger trees a chance to grow.

It takes around 7 years to grow an average-sized Christmas tree, and as trees grow, they absorb carbon and use 10x fewer resources than artificial tree factories. According to the Association of Christmas Tree Growers, for every tree that is cut down each year, 1 to 3 new seedling trees are planted.

September is here, so that means we can start having roast dinners on a Sunday again, right?!🍽️

If you hate the pile of dishes after as much as we do though, just put them straight in the dishwasher if you’ve got one.

It uses less water than filling a few bowls and washing by hand, and there’s no need to rinse them first either!💧
