SO I went out for coffee with my polluting sister the other night and we had a heated discussion on real trees or fake trees. Since she is a fake tree person, I thought I would try to change her mind and try to make her consider buying a real tree. So in the hope that she reads this (PAULETTE), I have decided to list some pros and cons:
Real:
Real Christmas trees absorb carbon dioxide and other gases; giving off fresh oxygen. Which helps to prevent the greenhouse effect.
They improve the land and bring value to portions of land which could not be used to grow other crops. They improve the soil.
They are naturally biodegradable and Regina has a Christmas Tree Mulch program.
They are a renewable resource.
Fake:
They are manufactured from PVC, plastic and metal which is highly environmentally damaging and non-renewable resource.
Artificial Christmas trees pollute our landfill sites for centuries cause they are not biodegradable. Plus the life span is anywhere from 5-8 years.
So Please enjoy a REAL tree this Christmas, you will be making the right environmental choice!
Plus it smells soooo pretty.!!
