Stumble it!
Tired of the artificial tree vs. real tree debate? This year brings a new type of Christmas tree to pick from: The Cardboard Christmas Tree!
This tree’s a crafty environmentalist’s holiday dream come true. Made of recycled corrugated cardboard, the Cardboard Christmas Tree’s shipped in an eco-friendly flat package. Once assembled, the tree stands 3 feet tall — and can be painted and decorated either with the assortment of cardboard ornaments that arrive with the tree, or with your own decorations.
To get your creative juices flowing, check out some of the examples of decorated trees. Then make a fun crafty day of it! You may even want to put those old conventional bulbs you no longer need to good use by turning them into tree ornaments!
Keep your tree and holidays all-eco by opting for LED lights and giving green gifts. After the holidays, you won’t have to deal with sweeping up needles or dragging a dead tree to a mulching center. Just put the cardboard tree into the paper recycling bin!
The Cardboard Christmas Tree is yours for $19.95. If you’re afraid you’re not up to the challenge of decorating a Cardboard Christmas Tree, do try to pick a real tree! Here’s how to pick out the most environmentally-friendly real tree for your holidays.
