When Christmas comes around, many people, especially the environmentally conscious, have a hard time deciding on whether to buy an artificial tree or choose a real tree to use in their living rooms over the festive season. However, there are many benefits to choosing real Christmas trees that are actually extremely beneficial to the environment, such as:
Absorption of carbon dioxide
Most trees take about 8 to 12 years to grow before they are ready for harvesting and during this time, help to get rid of the carbon dioxide that is spewed out by modern industry.
Tough and useful
Real trees are grown on farms in areas that are considered to be unusable and since they are so hardy, can also be grown on barren hillsides and in fields where almost no other plants would survive. They also help to beautify the areas under power lines that would otherwise be left open.
Growing population
When ready for harvesting, real trees that are cut down are immediately replaced. To make sure that there is a constant supply of trees, most farms will plant about three new trees to replace the one that has been cut down. Rather than reducing the population of trees, farms supplying real Christmas trees are in fact, protecting, maintaining, and increasing the number of trees. In other words, when you buy a real tree at Christmas time, you are really helping the environment and not damaging it at all.
Recyclable
At the end of the festive season, your real tree can be recycled. It can be ground up and used for mulch to protect the roots of plants, while at the same time preventing the growth of weeds. Decomposed mulch also provides much-needed nutrients for plants. The Boy Scouts in most areas will help you by picking up your dead Christmas tree on the pavement and taking it to a recycling centre for you.
