We all know what the problem with artificial Christmas Trees is for our environment- the plastic eventually ends up in a landfill and adding to our planet’s plastic pollution. Add to that the emissions released in producing an artificial Christmas Tree and transporting it (often half-way across the world) and we can see why they’re a highly unsustainable option.

 Celebrating the joy of Christmas shouldn’t cost our planet’s wellbeing and in fact, Christmas can be an ideal time to think about our local businesses and quality, sustainable goods and produce.

At G.I Rogers and Son we’re proud to be part of this movement. Each one of our trees is carbon neutral as they take in CO2  gas in their growth and this is released after the tree has been displayed and is either used for fuel or disposed of as garden waste.

Buying our trees locally also reduces transport costs: a huge part of the unsustainability of many Christmas decorations.
