Wich are better for the natural environment ?

Natural Christmas Tree

The advantage of a natural Christmas tree is that its fragrance will waft throughout the house. It does, however, require a certain amount of maintenance; daily watering, cutting the trunk and picking up the needles.

Some ecologists claim that it is better to buy cultivated firs that will biodegrade as opposed to the artificial firs that won’t. Moreover, cultivated trees provide a habitat for several animals, stabilise the earth and transform carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Artificial Christmas Tree

Taste, budget and available space will influence the decision of whether to buy an artificial Christmas tree. The artificial tree will cost more at the outset but will last for an average of four years. The artificial tree will often be denser and almost too perfect! It’s available in any size and no maintenance is required!

Dr. Patrick Moore, a co-founder and former president of Greenpeace, writes:

«Whether you choose a cut or growing tree to enjoy this holiday season, I believe that a sensible environmentalist would opt for renewable over non-renewable every time.»
