recycled cardboard Christmas trees

by MissMalaprop on December 15, 2008

What a neat idea: a Christmas tree made in the USA from recycled cardboard:

This is a cool alternative for people who like something a little different than the traditional tree.  In addition to being recyclable when you’re done using it, for every cardboard tree sold a contribution is made to the Arbor Day Foundation’s reforestation program, Trees for America.

These trees would also be great for crafty types.  There are examples on their website of different ways you could paint and decorate these 3 foot tall trees.  It would be a great project to get kids involved with.  Let your imagination run wild!

You can get your own from TheCardboardTree.com for $22.95.

What a great idea!!! I like the green aspect to it. Also, it seems like it would be really fun to decorate. I don’t think it can quite replace your average artificial tree, but it’s still pretty creative!

Wow – I like these in spite of myself. Especially the silvery one on their website!

I know, they seem cheesy and amazing at the same time! Probably why I like them!
