Everyone is probably familiar with the mountains of Christmas trees that lie on the streets of Munich in January. If you think about it for a while, the idea of putting a real tree in your living room for such a short period of time just because it looks nice seems rather silly.

In total, around 30 million trees end up in the bin in Germany every year. We can all do something to reduce this number again this year: rent Christmas trees instead of buying them.

We should keep sustainability in mind, especially during the most consumer-rich time of the year: Christmas. This starts with the choice of presents and ends with the Christmas tree. Because it doesn't have to end up as a dried-up heap of misery on the side of the road. To be sustainable, you can rent a fir tree. Tree nurseries and Christmas tree rental companies are committed to ensuring that they can live on after Christmas. With sufficient care at home, the trees can survive the time indoors and be used again next year.
