Real Christmas trees are the green choice

Contrary to popular belief, real Christmas trees are better for the environment than artificial ones. Encourage your eco-minded customers to buy a real tree because:

  • Christmas trees are a crop, so using them does not contribute to deforestation; real trees are planted and harvested just like corn or wheat
  • Real trees absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen
  • Buying a real tree often helps support local farmers who grow them
  • Artificial trees often contain petroleum products and/or toxic chemicals
