In our new era of striving for sustainability, it feels pretty odd that we go to all the effort of washing out our chopped tomato tin cans for the recycling and exclusively buying milk alternatives only to decide, once a year, that we should all cut down a bunch of trees to have in our living room for less than a month, then get rid of.
Something there doesn’t quite compute. But where there’s a festive problem, there’s a festive (and sustainable) solution. For instance: Did you know that fir trees can be replanted? They’re pretty hardy trees, and they can go back in the ground to live another day if you just make sure not to have them inside for too long.
