Sustainable Holiday

Why buy a Real Christmas Tree?

 

There are many environmental benefits to buying a live Christmas Tree:

• Farm-grown Christmas trees stabilize soil, protect water, and provide habitat for wildlife.
  
• Christmas tree farms often utilize soils that can't support other crops effectively.
• For every Christmas tree harvested, 2-3 seedlings are planted, making live Christmas trees a sustainable, renewable resource.
• Live trees also absorb carbon dioxide and release fresh oxygen, which helps fight climate change.
• 100% biodegradable! Artificial manufactured trees are made from man-made plastics and metals that will never decompose and add to our landfills.
• Pruned Christmas tree branches are used in wreaths and other evergreen holiday decor allowing most or all of the tree to be utilized. 
• There is nothing like the scent of a live tree infusing the household atmosphere to contribute to the holiday spirit.
