Go Green This Christmas

October 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Tips

Going green is one of the challenges which more and more people have chosen to follow. We all want to make the world a better place for our children. This means that w have to start today to think at tomorrow and even at after tomorrow. Christmas is not excemption to this rule: instead of buying a natural tree, cut from the forest, we’d better buy an artificial Christmas tree and let the real pine trees on the mountains, where they belong to. There are other advantages of artificial Christmas trees such as getting rid of the needles which remain in the carpets for maybe 3-4 months after the Christmas holidays are over, or avoiding cats to swallow the needles and get intestinal troubles.

Christmas Trees by Width

There are several types of Christmas trees, according to their width: normal trees, with an width of about 60-90 inches, slim trees, with widths between 40 and 60 inches and pencil trees, which are so narrow that they fit well in really small rooms. A flocked Christmas tree can make you feel like in the middle of the nature, thanks to the great snow-covered look; another cool option is a white Christmas tree, which ressembles like the ones in the woods, making you feel like you are spending your winter holidays in the middle of the nature. Very innovative are the half-tressm, which are exactly what their name shows: halves of trees, so you can put them by the wall, thus making more space for gifts and guests. These trees are suitable for very small rooms or lobbies.

Christmas Trees by Color and Feel

Artificial Christmas trees can come in multiple colors, the most popular ones being green, black, red, pink or white. There are also purple trees and silver ones. Artificial Christmas trees can come prelit, meaning that they include light bulb strings.

Artificial Christmas tres can have unconventional shapes which may seem strange, but surely will drawn attention.
