Go Green Get Real
- Real trees are a renewable recyclable resource. Artificial trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and possible metal toxins such as lead.
- An acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen for 18 people and takes 4 tons of carbon out of the atmosphere each year. For every real Christmas tree that is harvested up to 3 seedlings are planted.
- The farms that grow Christmas trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic greenbelts.
- North American real Christmas trees are grown in 50 states and Canada. 80% of artificial trees worldwide are manufactured in China, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
