Rentable and Reusable Christmas Trees
The two entrepreneurs in this story found a creative way to run a familiar business in a far more environmentally friendly way. Every holiday season, the USDA estimates that around 25 to 30 million Christmas trees are sold each year. So you can only imagine the amount of plastic and pollution this industry produces.
But when people are done using their trees, they often just throw them away. This company gives people the opportunity to rent a real tree rather than buy one. Once the holiday season is over, the company will simply replant the tree to use again next year.
