Real trees vs artificial treesGive your family the gift of a gorgeous fresh Christmas tree this festive season. There is nothing like the scent and beauty of a live Christmas tree to get your entire family in the spirit of the season. Real trees are a renewable resource; the production of artificial trees uses large quantities of liquid fossil fuel – which is a non renewable resource. A large majority of artificial Christmas trees are made in countries where there are currently very few environmental controls on emissions of noxious gases.
Real trees are a safe, natural product. If burnt an artificial tree will produce noxious gases. Artificial trees will last you a number of years, but will also last the planet Earth an eternity in landfill sites.
