I’ve always had a question about a true “green Christmas”: which tree would be “greener” the artificial Christmas trees or a real one? The artificial one may be environmental friendly due to the fact you’re saving a real tree every time you’re using it but the fabrication process is not as “green” as we’d want; on the other hand the real tree is completely safe to throw away as garbage after use since it’s completely recyclable in nature but the impressive forest cut down every year just for Christmas decoration purposes would continue to produce oxygen and retain carbon.
So, which is which?
