In
this
age of environmental awareness, it’s appropriate to know a favorite family
holiday tradition of choosing a real Christmas tree over an artificial tree is
still the environmentally sound choice.
A benefit to the atmosphere, real Christmas
trees absorb carbon dioxide and other gases; emitting fresh oxygen. This helps
prevent the earth warming greenhouse effect.
Real Christmas trees are an all-American, recyclable resource. Artificial trees,
most of which are manufactured in Korea, Taiwan, or Hong Kong, consist of
plastics and metals that aren’t biodegradable. When disposed of, the artificial
trees will never deteriorate. Their effects on our environment are evident and
will remain for countless generations.
Christmas tree farms stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge
for wildlife, while creating scenic green belts. Often Christmas trees are grown
on soils that could not support other crops.
By enjoying a REAL tree this Christmas, you will be making the right
environmental choice!
