“The more sustainable decorating option is using a real Christmas tree and planting it in a biodegradable pot, which eliminates the environmental impacts of disposal, allows the tree to continue sequestering carbon and prevents methane emissions from trees decomposing in landfills. It also reduces the need for annual tree harvesting. This approach combines the advantages of real trees with a low-impact, long-term lifecycle,” says #UBCForestry's Dr. Guangyu Wang.
