Caring Christmas Trees

Don't you just love trees? We do! If you buy a real tree from Caring Christmas Trees this year, you'll actually be performing a conscience-placating double whammy: an environmentally friendly manoeuvre, and a donation to a local charity. Real Christmas trees are 100% recyclable and for every tree that is uprooted another is planted, making the whole process neatly sustainable; discarded plastic trees, on the other hand, can only look forward to lying around in trash heaps for the next few thousand years or so. Christmas is a very waste-heavy time of year already, with all the wrapping, food packaging and general consumption producing an estimated three million tonnes of waste over the seasonal months, so using real trees is one way of significantly reducing the impact. Consider the carbon footprint aspect too - Caring Christmas Trees are home-grown in Scotland whereas fake trees have to be flown (aircraft = bad carbon, remember) across the world.
Plus, all profits are split between four charities- Bethany Christian Trust (Edinburgh and Fife), Kibble, (Paisley), Impact Arts (Glasgow) and Gowrie Care (Dundee) - so your money goes straight back into the local community. If you feel inspired to help out further, you can also volunteer to help flyer or distribute - check out the website for details on where your free time can best be put to use: www.caringchristmastrees.com.
