‘Tis the season… it’s time to get your Christmas tree. This weekend is the perfect time to choose your tree. But before you do, read on to make sure your Christmas tree isn’t only the color green, but that it’s environmentally green, too.

1. Chop down a tree at your local Christmas tree farm. Tree farms are sustainable. When you cut down your tree, it’s soon replaced by another one that will be for sale in the future. Until then, it’s there to filter carbon dioxide out of the air and provide habitats for animals. Keeping it local saves fuel that’s wasted importing trees. Call around to see if there are any organic tree farms in your area.

2. Get a living Christmas tree (with roots) from a nursery (or from a tree farm) and plant it in your backyard (or out in the woods) when Christmas is over. Only plan on having it indoors for a week, though, or it might not make it. If you live in Portland, OR, you could also rent a living Christmas tree that will be planted after Christmas.
