Following are the top ten awesomeness things about a delivered, potted and planted living Christmas Tree.
10- They are alive and breathing in your home! Full size live Christmas trees are greatest seasonal houseplant ever, (Beats the Easter Lilly and Poinsettia hands down)! If houseplants are good for the soul, what about one that´s huge and decorated and lighted and has presents underneath that you know birdies are going to be nesting in, huh, huh?
9- They are the most naturally shaped! Not sheared into a cone.
8- They are the freshest! What´s fresher than alive?
7- It is tough for the dogs and cats to knock them over. The rootballs are a heavy base which prevents any climbs by cats, (assuming fat cats don´t climb trees)!
6- Less of a fire hazard! They don't dry out like cut trees. It´s, eh-hem, the main reason local TV news cover our business.
5. TOLCTC helps define Oregon as a State with desirable innovations. Oregon is taking on many environmentally conscientious activities such as; excellent land use planning, the bottle bill, social service programs, the beach bill, best bicycle city, curbside recycling, mass transit, green buildings AND, for the 18th year in a row, thousands of living Christmas trees permanently planted.
4- This is unique concept in the world. All of our clients are helping to pioneer live tree celebrating and permanent planting. Part of your Christmas tree payment goes to lowering the price of your tree to it's buyer/planter, (we sell trees for less than half of what we buy them for). One day, we're going to be on Oprah or in Parade magazine. Then, all our clients, buyer/planters, and growers will feel a validated sense of JOY.
3. Your Christmas tree cleans the air you pollute. Assuming one believes in science, we're all contributing to 'air pollution/global warming/climate change'. Choosing a Living Christmas tree every year is a fabulous response to that issue. Our clients might feel something like, "I just choose a living Christmas tree each year so at least I cover my part of the issue." (We at TOLCTC aren't scientists but it's not unreasonable to bet that a tree respiring every day probably cleans the air one pollutes every day.)
2- TOLCTC donates. We've give trees and/or any cash we can share to groups like; the YMCA, MLC school, Outward Bound, KBOO radio.
And the Top #1 reason to get involved with TOLCTC (us) is... (Say ´Woohoo´, out loud, right now, it feels good, come on, say ´Woohoo´)... the #1 reason to be a part of The Original Living Christmas Tree Company (TOLCTC) is...
#1- Kids (of any age) learn that even very old ways of doing things can be 'evolved' into new ways that are good business and friendlier to the environment!
