Make This Christmas Greener: Sustainable Gift Ideas with Evertreen’s Tree Planting Initiative

The holiday season is finally here—a time to celebrate, share joy, and create those priceless memories. But here’s something you might not know: this festive time also leads to a 25% jump in waste and takes a serious toll on the environment. That’s why at Evertreen, we’re all about turning holiday cheer into something that truly makes a difference. How? By promoting sustainable gift options. This Christmas, consider giving the gift of a tree through our tree-planting initiative. It’s a thoughtful way to spread joy to your loved ones and do something amazing for the planet!

The Problem with Traditional Christmas Gifts

Every year, billions of dollars go toward gifts that often end up unused or thrown away. In fact, during the holiday season, Americans create an extra 1 million tons of waste each week. Yep, you read that right—one million tons! This waste comes from things like packaging, plastic items, and other unsustainable products that hurt the planet.

And let’s talk about Christmas trees for a moment. Every year, 50-60 million of them are cut down, only to be tossed out after the holidays. These trees take years to grow, but their short-lived use adds to deforestation and waste.

The good news? We have the power to change this. By making more thoughtful, eco-friendly gift choices, we can help reduce the environmental impact and make a big difference—for both people and the planet.

Why Gifting a Tree Is the Perfect Solution

A tree isn’t just a gift—it’s a powerful symbol of hope and action. At Evertreen, we’ve made it easy for you to give the gift of trees that support global reforestation projects. Here’s what every tree you plant does:

• Absorbs up to 22 kg of CO2 every year, helping fight climate change.
• Creates safe habitats for endangered wildlife.
• Prevents soil erosion and keeps ecosystems healthy.

But that’s not all. Your gift also makes a difference in people’s lives. By supporting tree-planting efforts, you’re helping create jobs and provide education for local communities in the areas where these trees grow. It’s a gift that doesn’t just help the planet—it uplifts people too. Now that’s a meaningful way to spread holiday cheer!

Sustainable Gift Ideas to Pair with Your Tree

Looking to make your tree gift even more memorable? Here are a few creative ideas to add a special touch:

• Eco-Friendly Decorations: Include handmade, biodegradable ornaments that your recipient can cherish without harming the environment.
• A Message for the Future: Write a heartfelt letter about the long-term impact of planting a tree—it’s a beautiful way to make the gift even more meaningful.
• A Gift That Grows: Pair your tree gift with a small potted plant or a packet of seeds, giving your loved one something they can nurture and watch grow.

These little extras can make your thoughtful gift even more personal and unforgettable!
