And it's been 500 years since we used this beauty in our homes during the holidays. However, candles were replaced by piece candles, and grease pots on their heads - by glass or plastic bags.
Almost no one asks questions about whether to put a fireplace in the room or not, but from the choice between piece and the living is not so unambiguous.
So below we will tell you how to turn the tree, so that the least possible damage to the dovkillu.
When choosing a yalinka, take into account these factors first of all:
Jelenka contains potential allergens;
Do not think that a piece of organic berry is more environmentally friendly;
Consider the enchanting smell of real yelinka.
Let's take into account the fact that many people believe that harvested barnyard has less negative impact on the dwelling than a cut live one. Carbon Trust has calculated that a two-meter piece of logs has twice as much of a carbon footprint as a live log of the same type on the ground. But if you burn a live pit - carbon footprint is 10 times greater than that of a piece. So, if you do not plan to use a piece tree for 10 years - it is better not to buy it.
Apart from the deceptive idea of less influence on the dowry, people also see the advantage of one-piece trees in that:
Її can be used repeatedly;
Living fruit trees can cause allergies, which is also called "Christmas Tree Syndrome";
Litter in the piece is much less;
It is easy to choose one that you like.
Why then do some people choose wooden logs? Consider the benefits of a living tree.
This is a good family tradition, which is maintained for generations;
Selecting a tree every year - a wonderful family fun;
The biggest plus - extraordinary smell;
They are biodecomposable and recyclable;
Live cheap for a piece.
Which one is better to turn to, considering that both piece and live ones have their own advantages and the piece is not "more environmentally friendly" than a cut down live one? NECU will give you their advice.
For many years the Ukrainian coniferous forests suffered the most during the old growth period, that is why the Ukrainians formed the opinion that logging has less impact on population growth because the trees do not need to be cut down.
But, in fact, piecemeal trees have three times more impact on climate change and depletion of resources than living ones. They are made of plastic and steel, more energy is needed for production, they are transported from China and later stacked on the smithy dumps. According to WAP Sustainability Consulting's comparative assessment of the life cycle impact on livestock, "one real tree produces a lower impact on livestock than a piecemeal tree. However, one piece can have less negative impact on the dockchildren if the customer keeps them for ten years or longer, because, as we mentioned above, the carbon footprint after processing of one piece of greenhouse is equal to the carbon footprint after the disposal of 10 live ones. However, even after a piece of dried barn is out of the litter, it cannot be naturally used or recycled.
So, if you plan to put a jacket for at least 10 years (or preferably more) - you can buy a piece, but if you want to turn live - it is worth to take into account the following:
A live jalinka must necessarily be labeled, which means that they were specially grown for harvesting for the Christmas holidays. In order to be sure that the jalinka is harvested legally, enter the number on the label or the tag on the website: https://open.ukrforest.com/ or in the addendum yalynka.info. Live yalynka has a significantly lower carbon footprint, especially if properly disposed of.
After the holidays necessarily give the tree to the special points of recycling, where your tree will be converted into wood chips for the burning of solid fuel boilers, as heaters or wood additive for plantings, or will go on the mulchuvannya. Also, according to Ulyana Suprun, last year volunteers collected unsold or discarded tree berries and brought them to the zoo "Mezhygir'ya" to be fed to the animals.
Also, a good option is to choose potted oil plants, which must be planted in the ground afterwards, since they are not suitable for indoors and it is very important for them to "get accustomed" to living in apartments.
Choose a cooking dish that will not only please your family, but will also not disturb your daughters. We wish you happy New Year and Christmas holidays!
