Christmas trees continue to be sustainable in Northern Europe

Christmas trees are again set to be renewed as energy in Lithuania according to local news reports.

Residents across 12 major cities will have the opportunity to drop their trees in specially marked containers, after which the trees will be used for both biofuel and heat for housing projects.

This is the seventh year the campaign has run for a week in January.

‘The campaign gets more popular every year, so it shows that people's awareness is growing and fewer Christmas trees are simply thrown away,’ organiser of the campaign Saulius Budrevicius was quoted as saying.
