A new site has started, Worldchristmastree.com to promote and share Christmas trees worldwide (indoors and out) while pledging to save the forests by donating 80% of all proceeds to the World Land Trust.

The World Land Trust is an international conservation charity (Reg. No. 1001291), based in Halesworth, UK. Founded in 1989 as the World Land Trust (formerly World Wide Land Conservation Trust) has been working to preserve the world’s most biologically important and threatened lands, and has helped purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of habitats rich in wildlife, in Asia, Central and South America and the UK.

Click on their interactive google map and see the largest Christmas Tree in Europe (also featured top) to small tropical trees decorated in Vietnam. Upload your own tree and be a part of the movement to re-invest in preserving forests worldwide.

For what typically is not a very “green” holiday, here is a very easy way to contribute to something worthwhile by simply uploading an image of your tree online. The other neat aspect of this site is that promotes cross-cultural sharing of one communal aspect of the coming holiday season: the Christmas Tree.
