I've seen that statistic in other sources too, often used as evidence that buying farmed trees was the greenest Christmas tree alternative. And no, I don't know anything about Ecosia. In the little research I did, though, it seems to be legit. Happy New Year to you, too!

There is an interesting statistic in there on the "poster" - for every Christmas Tree dug up three are planted! It sounds great, more trees is good - right? Can it be true? ps Do you know anything good or bad about <a href="http://ecosia.org/" rel="nofollow">Ecosia.org</a>? It seems almost too good to be true. Hi, and happy new year!
