_(This is my first "Reads" post. Testing it out with a short Christmas idea)_
Although this article may go out a little late for those pondering if this Christmas they should buy a tree, new or old, I realized an opportunity when I saw a meter high tree… potted.
It occurred to me that if I looked past the fact that this was not a large tree, that traditionally seem to fill in many northern countries’ living rooms, this meant so many things:
**-I’m not killing it** (water it and it lives on)
**-Easy to move** (I can carry it home (even on a bike!)
**-Less decor to buy** (and easier to manage to make instead)
-And the most important to me… **At the end of the season, you can plant it.**
Now what happens every year that I do this? What if we each bought a tree and had many in the house rather than just one big one? And then planted a new one each year? Maybe it’s not a pine tree every year, but a native one to the area.
We become yearly tree planters. Not everyone may have the place to plant them, but there could be a non-profit organization that could organize drive outs with you as one of the volunteers, maybe you help pick up the one at a grandma’s house… and you sit down with them for a bit and start to get to know your community.
A scalable healthy way to maintain a Christmas tradition, while bringing the community together and helping to clean the air again.
