How interesting:
Watching the television might not be the most environmentally-friendly activity but Dixons is aiming to make it greener with its new range of wooden TVs.
The Tree-V range of televisions, made by Swedish manufacturer Swedx, are built with natural ash, sapele or beech wood from sustainable forest sources.
They cost £350 including VAT and will be in Currys stores before Christmas and you can reserve them online now on the Dixons site.
“We’re delighted to be the exclusive stockist of the Tree-Vs from Swedx. They are high specification televisions, with the added advantage of being constructed within frames from all-natural, renewable, sustainable, recyclable resources,” said DeVere Forster of Dixons.co.uk.
The LCD screen of the TV is 19in and they’re High Definition ready. They also have built in Freeview tuners so are ready for the digital switchover and HDMI, Component, SCART, PC and AV inputs.
“Owning a Tree-V is a great way of making a small contribution to planet Earth while watching it on the telly at the same time,” Forster said.
PC World, which is part of the Dixons Stores Group, is aiming to have carbon neutral PCs in stock before Christmas. The PCs feature wooden monitors, keyboards and mice, with the central unit made from recyclable materials as far as possible.
…….lol.
Don’t they look stylish…
