One of the main rules of sustainability says that &#8220;the greenest energy is the energy we don&#8217;t consume and the most sustainable materials are the ones we don&#8217;t use.&#8221; What does that mean? It means that if we already own a tree in good condition, the best thing we can do is to use it again instead of buying a new one. In this way, we will avoid the consumption of energy and materials-necessary to produce and transport any product-and the associated environmental impact.<\/p><p>But what if we really don&#8217;t have a Christmas tree to reuse and want to buy one for the first time. What is the best choice?<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3><strong>Which Christmas tree is best?<\/strong><\/h3><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Several studies, such as the one by Carbon Trust, have compared the environmental impacts of real Christmas trees with fake ones.
