for about 100 dollars, evergrow christmas trees and carbonsync christmas will drop off a potted(盆栽的) tree at your home or business and pick it up three weeks later after all the presents have been opened and santa has parked his sleigh(雪橇).

carbonsync plans to donate its trees to habitat(产地,栖息地) restoration groups for replanting after christmas, while evergrow says it will return them to a nursery to be cared for until next christmas when they may be rented out again.

trees normally cost four times less on average, but are usually turned into mulch(覆盖物,护根) or sent to garbage dumps after the holidays in most north american cities.

"what (folks) are doing now is they're growing these 3 of(成群的) trees everywhere in the fraser valley to ship to vancouver," brad major of carbonsync christmas told public broadcaster cbc.

"these trees grow anywhere from six to 12 years to be used for one christmas, and all these trees go to the landfill, and it's this huge pile of trees," he said. "it's like the biggest waste of a resource."

the firms' trees will also continue to draw co2 from the atmosphere, doing their bit to help 4 global warming instead of ending up as waste.

and if a family wishes, they may even rent the same tree year after year from evergrow, as long as it has not grown too large to fit in their living room.
