Save Your Energy

Deck the halls, and your tree, sustainably!

If you prefer a live tree, consider one that’s locally sourced or comes with a "replanting" option. For artificial trees, invest in a high-quality one you’ll use for years to minimize environmental impact. Decorate with natural elements like dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and pinecones for a festive, eco-friendly touch.
