What is a holiday without a Christmas tree? Between its roots, for just one night, a delivery point for parcels from a beloved Lapland grandfather is set up, and on its branches, for several weeks, an exhibition of all the most brilliant things that can be found at home. And when the gifts reach their recipients, and emaciated needles begin to fall from under the glass balls, the festive tree will go, at best, to deer food or paper production.
Every year, more than 5 million Christmas trees are cut down in Ukraine alone for the New Year holidays. To grow them, you need 3-5 years and 5 square kilometers. In terms of area, this is a little more than the entire Trukhanov Island in Kyiv. At the same time, a third of all felled Christmas trees, without finding their buyers, go to a landfill.
One of the most effective ways to reduce deforestation is to purchase a live Christmas tree in a pot. With proper care for her, your grandchildren will also dance around her. Such homemade Christmas trees have already become an eco-trend of recent years all over the world. It varies depending on the size and variety – from 200 to 10 thousand UAH.
