The Ecology Foundation has announced the results of the "Dress Up the Eco-Christmas Tree" competition.
December 22, 2025
We recently counted how many Christmas trees have been prepared in Russia for the New Year. It turned out to be half a million. They're alive, beautiful, and fragrant with pine needles…
However, there's still a lot of debate about which tree is more environmentally friendly—an artificial one or a real one. If you have an artificial one, it's a good idea to use it year after year. If you buy a real one, be sure to dispose of it properly after the holidays by taking it to a specialized collection point.
Another option is to make your own Christmas tree from scrap materials. It's environmentally friendly, and old items get a second life. For the second year running, the Ecology Foundation has been holding a themed competition for Rosselkhozbank employees called "Decorate the Eco-Christmas Tree."
The instructions are simple: you need to make a Christmas tree from scrap materials. Anything that catches your eye will do—corks, matches, paper…
This year, many interesting entries were received, including a record number of participants – 121. Colleagues submitted photos of their completed Christmas trees via the "Office in Digital" mobile app. The jury reviewed and selected the best from numerous worthy submissions. They were guided by three criteria: environmental friendliness (recycled materials); aesthetics and artistic value; and the number of likes from employees.
Colleagues will receive merchandise from the Ecology Foundation for their creative work.
Congratulations and thanks to every participant. Upcycling is trendy!
