PLASTIC X-MAS TREE OR NATURAL X-MAS TREE???
As we usher in the x-mas celebrative mood, environmentally conscious people realize that it comes with both chimings of carols as much as destruction of the lovely trees.
Christmas trees.
Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or fir or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas.
In the face of constrained supply of real Christmas trees, it is important to note that increased use of fake, plastic Christmas trees may only exacerbate the environmental damage. Even if used for six years, a plastic, chemically-laden Christmas tree still has a 60 percent larger environmental footprint than a real tree.
On the hand, it is worth remembering that despite their short lives after having taken 8-12 years to grow to the requisite size, Christmas trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which plastic trees obviously do not do...
The Big Question
And here comes the question: should fake plastic xmas trees be chosen over natural tree?
