The Nature Conservancy says hands down, the real tree is the right choice.
Real trees
Christmas tree farms keep land open instead of being developed.
Production and delivery of fake trees increase carbon emissions. Most fake trees are not recyclable, and often end up in our landfills.
If you need an artificial tree, try buying one from a neighbor or check area thrift shops.
