Ban the sale of cut-down Christmas trees

What the petition asks
We believe the government should ban the sale of cut Christmas trees, with potted ones being sold instead.
This could mean families buy a live, potted tree and grow it in a place such as their apartments, communal gardens, or front door entrance. We think that the current sale and disposal of Christmas trees is wasteful.
We believe that this would help nurture a greener, healthier future for our kids, as well as being a better use of the planet's resources.
