Being Green! Being Environmentally Friendly!
Our Green Kudos goes to The Living Christmas Company in Los Angeles, California, U.S. for being a green caring company that keeps Christmas trees alive and upholds the value of “Christmas without waste.” Scott Martin, the founder, merrily provides an environmentally friendly service to bring live trees to your home and/or business. Both delivery and pick-up services are free of charge. Here is an amazing array of The Living Christmas Company’s responsibilities to our environment:
- raising awareness of the general public to switch from artificial and cut trees to an environmentally friendly alternative: living trees
- living trees significantly improve indoor safety because they are less flammable than either cut trees or plastic trees
- living trees help produce a positive indoor air quality
- delivery trucks run on Bio Diesel fuel
- you can watch your tree grow (up to 6 annual rental times) until it’s too big
- overgrown Christmas trees eventually become part of an Urban Reforestation Project earning Carbon Tax Credits

Let’s be really green next Christmas! It would be so great if all Christmas trees, after the Christmas celebration is over, go back to the environment to grow and produce many benefits for everyone to enjoy.
