Christmas Trees - The Truth About Artificial Trees

Contrary to popular belief, artificial Christmas trees are very harmful to the environment. In fact, they are worse for the environment than real Christmas trees harvested from a farm every year.

Artificial Christmas trees are made from PVC, making them a petroleum based product. They also contain lead that can be harmful to humans and pets, especially if needles tend to fall off or flake. Also, the average artificial tree lasts 5-7 years, at which it will be found in your local landfill, leaking toxins into the ground.

Real Christmas trees on the other hand don't contain lead, PVC, or any other harmful toxins. They are also biodegradable and can be recycled by mulching them for landscaping purposes. Also, Christmas tree farmers on average plant 4 trees for every one that is harvested, making real Christmas trees sustainable and renewable.

These are just some of the reasons to buy a real Christmas tree than an artificial tree.
