In the festive season, aside from the obvious Bag for Life, you may want to invest in a living, breathing Christmas tree, delivered to your living room.

The Independent has reported that as many as six million Christmas trees will find new homes in landfill sites in Britain once the festive season is over. Christmas Tree Man comes to the rescue! Delivering a potted Christmas tree which you can label and reorder the next year means that your tree will grow each year with your family. When the tree finally outgrows your home, it will be donated to the a charitable cause.

Aside from the great environmental implication of renting then returning a tree to the ground, there is increased safety in owning a living christmas tree. For example, the rooted base is heavier thus safer around children and pets and they are also less likely to dry out and cause a fire hazard with hot fairy lights draped all over them. 

So start cutting your waste in the season of excess, starting with your Christmas tree!
