Google Opinion - December 2024 "A great idea for a responsible Christmas gift! We can't wait to see our tree :)" ### We can answer your questions! Still wondering how it works when you give a **tree as a Christmas present** through EcoTree? Below you will find answers to some common questions. #### What makes trees a sustainable Christmas gift? **Trees** make a great Christmas gift because they keep growing long after the holidays are over. As trees grow in our forests, they absorb and store harmful CO2 from the atmosphere, one of the major contributors to global warming. The trees also play an important role when it comes to protecting and enriching the forest’s local [biodiversity](https://ecotree.green/en/biodiversity). When the trees that EcoTree plants eventually and naturally reach the end of their life cycle, we harvest the wood and use it to produce timber. That means not only does your gift last for many years, nothing goes to waste. A tree can also be the perfect gift for many other occasions, whether that’s a [wedding](https://ecotree.green/en/unique-wedding-gifts), [a birth](https://ecotree.green/en/new-baby-gift), [Valentine's Day](https://ecotree.green/en/sustainable-valentines-day-gift), [Father's Day](https://ecotree.green/en/fathers-day-gifts) or [Mother’s Day](https://ecotree.green/en/unique-mothers-day-gift). #### Where do EcoTree trees grow? EcoTree is a forestry company, which means we own and manage real forests that you and your gift recipient can visit in person – whenever you want! Each tree comes with GPS coordinates that show where in [one of our forests](https://ecotree.green/en/forest-ecosystems) the tree grows. We have **forests in Denmark and France** and they are managed by our team of local foresters. We plant trees of [different species in the same forest](https://ecotree.green/en/sustainable-forestry-manifesto), which improves biodiversity. #### Where can I find the tree I have been sent? When you get a **tree as a Christmas present**, you can find all sorts of information about it in your EcoTree account, including: – its age and species – when we expect it to be felled – which forest it grows in – how much CO2 it has absorbed #### Why is it important to plant trees? To make sure that the forests continue to grow and thrive many years into the future, it is necessary to plant new trees. By **planting trees and caring** for them as they grow, we help renew the world's forests and support climate and biodiversity. #### How do trees symbolise Christmas? Trees are living organisms that represent life. The Christmas tree is a relatively modern tradition, but there are many stories that demonstrate the significance of trees going all the way back to Roman and Celtic times. It is no coincidence that Christmas falls around the winter solstice – the shortest day of the year, when our thoughts begin to turn towards spring again. Symbolic of growth and one of our best-known markers of the changing seasons, trees remind us that the days are about to get longer once more and the forest is waking up. #### Why are trees a meaningful gift? "Who doesn't love trees?" That’s what Erwan Le Méné, CEO and co-founder of EcoTree, says when asked why he founded the company. Trees are majestic and beautiful, but they are also vital to the environment and our planet in a number of ways. Without them, life would not be possible. They absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and help make our soil fertile so that we can grow crops. They are the foundation of natural habitats all over the world, home to much animal life and a source of vital resources. ### Why give a long-lasting Christmas gift? More and more people realise how important it is to switch to long-lasting alternative gifts when it comes to **Christmas presents!** But a long-lasting, plastic-free Christmas gift can still be just as beautiful and meaningful when you choose to give a tree...Trees are the ideal alternative Christmas gift. They can live for decades and symbolise life, growth, strength and permanence. From the [Douglas fir](/en/species/2) to the [Sessile Oak](/en/species/4), every tree species is unique and when you give and own trees in our forests, you help them become more resilient, with vibrant, thriving ecosystems. Forests are natural carbon stores, which makes them one of the best ways to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and help combat climate change. A **long-lasting Christmas gift**, grown close at home. Trees from EcoTree are truly a long-lasting Christmas gift, and not just because they create zero waste. They also contribute to a better use of natural resources, because wood is a renewable material that can replace more polluting alternatives, including single-use plastics. These are the principles on which we base our forestry model. The timber from trees is a valuable and strong material that will play an important role as a renewable resource. As the world becomes more reliant on renewable materials, forests are an essential part of that future. **A long-lasting Christmas gift with many benefits.**A tree is a gift with a beautiful message. It absorbs CO2 as it grows and makes a tangible difference to local biodiversity. A tree absorbs approximately 25 kg of CO2 every year, which adds up as your tree grows year after year. By giving a tree through EcoTree this Christmas, you also help to spread awareness about the importance of forests, carbon capture, climate change, biodiversity and many other topics. You never know – maybe the person you give **a tree as a Christmas present** this year will choose to give a tree to their loved ones next Christmas. Giving a **long-lasting Christmas gift** always makes the recipient happy! And what's more, it's a great way to spread the word. It is a gift that is as pleasant to give as to receive. So who knows, maybe one day you'll leave a note on our Google page to tell us how happy you are to have received a tree as a gift and to have given one as a present! And alongside the comments here, yours will find a place. So, what do you think about adding a tree to your list of gifts to Father Christmas, to be discovered on 25 December under the tree? It's a simple and inexpensive Christmas gift that your loved ones won't be able to refuse. In addition to lasting for years, it's a smart gift, in short! When it comes down to it, trees are a long-lasting Christmas gift that grows for decades. Trees in EcoTree forests make a real difference, and can be given as a gift for many occasions.
