So. Real trees can be the most sustainable choice if you dispose of them by recycling or composting - even better if you plant them cos they’ll continue to absorb carbon. 2/4
Team fake tree? You need to reuse it. Our researchers calculated that a fake Christmas tree must be reused more than five times to lower its carbon emissions to less than those of a real tree. 3/4
Either more sustainable than archaeology. Why bother being ‘sustainable’ for the future, when you deny northerners the opportunity to study the global past. Your name is mud.
