ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREES
Artificial Christmas trees have several disadvantages that make them a very environmentally unfriendly choice: they are made of plastic, a material that is not very eco-friendly, is poorly recyclable and is not biodegradable.
What's more, in many cases, the artificial tree was assembled in China, so you have to add to the environmental note the path of the object.
Not to mention the products that would have escaped controls and in which traces of lead could be found, which is really not advisable for your health.
A study conducted in Canada on the environmental impact of artificial Christmas trees showed that if you opt for such a tree, you will have to keep it for more than 20 years to ensure that its impact on the environment is the same as if you had opted for a natural tree every year.
NATURAL CHRISTMAS TREES
On the other hand, natural Christmas trees have some advantages that are often ignored by consumers.
Firstly, Christmas trees do not contribute to the deforestation of our planet, as the brands of artificial trees try to make people believe: like all consumer agricultural products, they are grown for this purpose.
For example, our Natureline Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees are sourced from a sustainable farm in Denmark. Madz is our supplier and takes better care of the trees than anyone else.
In the United States alone, 350 million trees grow precisely for this trade and 30 million are cut down each year around Christmas. This means that several tens of millions of trees planted on these farms are used all year round to create a local microcosm: the trees are home to animals and provide a breeding ground for plants. In reality, we are almost the opposite of deforestation: the Christmas tree business finances and maintains fir forests.
IN SUMMARY
If you opt for an artificial Christmas tree, you need to get used to the idea that your plastic or polyurethane tree is 10 to 20 years old. Therefore you should invest in a high-cost tree to be sure of the quality.
If you opt for a natural Christmas tree, remember that natural Christmas trees grow specifically for this purpose and have several advantages for the environment. Nor can we deny the pleasure of the smell of our tree, which only serves to strengthen the Christmas spirit at home.
