While they're growing, Real Christmas Trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting
fresh oxygen.
The farms that grow Christmas Trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while
creating scenic green belts. Often, Christmas Trees are grown on soil that doesn't support other crops.
Real Christmas Trees Are Renewable.
Real Christmas Trees are grown on farms just like any other crop. To ensure a constant supply, Christmas Tree growers
plant one to three new seedlings for every tree they harvest.
On the other hand, artificial trees are a petroleum-based product manufactured primarily in Chinese factories. The
average family uses an artificial tree for only six to nine years before throwing it away, where it will remain in a landfill
for centuries after disposal.
