- Live Christmas Trees have a great scent - they smell like Christmas
- The experience of choosing a tree with your family or friends is fun and memorable. Get outdoors and feel the fresh air on your face.
- Live trees are environmentally friendly - Growing Christmas trees provides a habitat for wildlife. An acre of Christmas trees provides for the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people.
- Buying a Live Christmas tree supports the local economy.
- Christmas trees remove dust and pollen from the air.
- Artificial trees will last for a few years in your home, but for centuries in a landfill. A high percent of real Christmas trees harvested are recycled in community programs. Most trash companies now recycle or chip the trees to make compost. Recycled trees have been used to make sand and soil erosion barriers and been placed in ponds for fish shelter.
- A study concluded that an artificial Christmas tree must be used ...for at least 20 years in order to have less impact on the environment than a live Christmas tree. On average, artificial trees are only reused 6 years before they are replaced. In addition, contrary to popular belief, Christmas tree harvesting does not contribute to deforestation. These trees are cultivated in plantations designed specially for this purpose.
- Buy natural, support your local economy!
