Food writer claims the best thing for the environment is to simply not have a Christmas tree at all, but for those who 'cannot give up the habit,' she suggests they use it 'as much as possible'
Christmas trees are seen at a collection point for recycling in New York City in 2019.According to the National Christmas Tree Association, 25-30 million real Christmas trees are sold in the United States every year.
"You can pretty much eat the whole thing," Julia Georgallis, author of How to Eat Your Christmas Tree told The Guardian."You can use the needles as you would use rosemary or bay leaves, for flavour." Georgallis, a London-based baker and food writer, who has been working with Christmas trees for years, said her ideas have only recently gained traction, The Guardian reported. She points to the climate crisis as the main driving force behind the increased interest. She said it is best for the environment to simply not have a Christmas trees in your home at all, but for"those who cannot give up the habit, the tree should be used as much as possible," she told The Guardian.
"I don’t know why in a climate crisis, when trees are our best armoury, we’re cutting down thousands a year to keep hostage in our houses," Georgallis concluded. Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
