Trees provide clean air, paper, shelter for many different species, and an overall beauty to our planet. Trees have been around before any of us were and they’ve continued to benefit us in our everyday lives.
Aside from the clean air part, trees have been the inspiration for many different innovations within the eco-movement (which you probably guessed), design, home decor and of course, that wonderful holiday called Christmas!
Implications - In this collection of many diverse and notable tree innovations, it is important to note how often trees are the basis of new forms of environmentally friendly living that companies are attempting to use now, when eco-friendly campaigns are one of the most effective ways companies utilize advertising and products to engender goodwill for their brand. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
