There's a company in Los Angeles that sells really green Christmas trees and offers amazing service in the process. It delivers trees to the homes of customers and then picks them up once the holiday is over. And best yet, no trees are harmed in this process because The Living Christmas Company's trees are transplanted alive and delivered in pots, according to Springwise.
Each year, 20 million Christmas trees are chopped down and discarded in some fashion following the holidays. Scott Martin, AKA Scotty Claus and the owner of Living Christmas, said the company's mission is "to change the way California celebrates Christmas."
Customers can go for a greener Christmas by ordering from a selection of trees on the company's site. Sizes of trees range in the three to eight-foot area and prices are said to be comparable to trees that are cut down for the holidays. Five varieties of trees, including Aleppo Pine, Blue Cedar, Leylandi Cypress, Little Sequoia and Monterey Pine, are available for rental.
Living Christmas also offers other items, including gift wrap, stocking stuffers and ornaments, on its site.
Discussion Question: Will Living Christmas change the way California celebrates Christmas and is this a concept that will work elsewhere across the U.S.?
