In a significant development that bodes well for the environment, Estonians who have typically gone to the forest to down cut trees in the thousands to celebrate Christmas, can now do so with a smartphone app.

The state forestry company of Estonia, has launched a mobile application which allows people to search for their trees and pay for them.

“It is a nice feeling to bring your own tree from the forest,” said Katrin Sagur, who went with her husband and kids this week to pick out a Christmas tree using the app.
