Which is better for the environment?

The Nature Conservancy says hands down, the real tree is the right choice.

Why?

Real trees

• Pull carbon out of the air while they grow
• Are a renewable resource
• Are completely recyclable

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.
