Being environmentally conscious shouldn’t mean doing without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Giving this crucial part of the festive season a green makeover is Berlin-based Wundertree, a website that will deliver you a living, potted Nordmann Fir to your doorstep. Better still, after Christmas your tree is picked up and then planted in a forest 35km south of Berlin. Andrew Green and Milan Hänsel founded the service in a bid to stop the felling of over 30 million Christmas trees every year in Germany. And since conventional festive trees are typically burnt in the new year, Wundertree is already 100 percent better in terms of CO2 emissions at the time of purchase – and this will only improve as the tree grows with time. Moreover, through the planting of additional native trees and electric vehicle delivery, the team have increased the environmental benefits even more. You can order trees of different sizes by 06.12.2020 (while stocks last!) making this Christmas as sustainable as it is traditional. (Text: Bui Luu Quynh Nguyen/ Photos: Wundertree)
