The most universally loved symbol of Christmas is the Christmas tree. This makes us happy at Good Earth Plant Company, as trees are so important to our ecosystem and represent shelter, food, and diversity in Nature.
Some people love a fresh-cut tree, and others are happiest with an artificial tree. There are good arguments for both being eco-friendly. The trees here fall in a completely different category. They are all made of unusual recycled materials, everything from tires to shopping carts to books. It’s the ultimate in eco-cleverness and we love them all!
We know on Christmas Eve you are busy getting your Christmas celebration together, so we won’t make you read a long blog post, even one of our incredibly informative ones. Instead we’re sharing our favorite repurposed Christmas tree projects from around the world. Maybe one of them will get you thinking about ways you might recycle and repurpose materials around your own home or office. You are limited only by your imaginations.
From all of us at Good Earth Plant Company, we wish you a naturally wonderful holiday!
