Aldi is set to have a green Christmas, by sourcing 100% of the Christmas trees it sells in its Irish stores this year from Ireland.
According to the retail giant, this will significantly reduce its carbon footprint by reducing travel costs, with trees brought directly from forest to shop floor within 36 hours.
The trees are all non-shed Nordmann Firs and grown by Forest Fresh Ireland in Wexford, Wicklow and Tipperary.
