What are the advantages of a real tree over artificial?
Bringing a real Christmas tree into the home is a tradition that goes back centuries. The tree’s pleasant aroma gives an instant reminder that Christmas is in the air. Also, unlike artificial trees which are mostly manufactured overseas, U.S. Christmas tree farms provide jobs for over 100,000 people employed full or part time in the industry. Most importantly, a real tree is a renewable, recyclable resource. Artificial trees on the other hand, average a lifespan of only 6 years, then are tossed in a landfill where they lie in a composed state for centuries.
