Some of us participate in the holiday tradition of going out to a christmas tree farm with the family, finding the perfect tree, and cutting it down to bring it home to decorate. Although this is one of my personal favorite holiday traditions, times are changing and we need to make smarter decisions and learn to preserve our trees. Some companies are jumping in and offering new ways to have a “green” Christmas. A few companies are now offering to 'rent out' Christmas Trees for the holidays. For an affordable one hundred dollars, you can go online and pick out the perfect looking tree for your home. These companies will then deliver a Christmas tree to your home, set it up and then come pick it up after the holidays. This tree is then taken back to the farm and replanted. I heard about this on the radio while I was driving to work and it seemed like a brilliant idea! Although it may seem to late to look into renting a tree this Christmas, I urge people to consider this for Christmas's in the future. Happy Holidays!
