Christmas Trees remove dust and pollen from the air as they grow. The younger trees are producing more oxygen then the older trees per volume. Contrary to some advocates of nature, we need to harvest marketable trees to ensure the replanting of young trees.
An artificial tree when burning becomes so toxic from its fumes, any amount inhaled would become dangerous and even fatal.
Real trees are a renewable recyclable resource. Artificial trees contain non-biodegradable plastics and metals.
For every real Christmas tree harvested, 2 to 3 seedlings are planted in its place. |

There are about 1 million acres in production for growing Christmas tree. Each acre provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people.
There are about 15,000 Christmas tree growers in the US and over 100,000 people employed full or part time in the industry.
When purchasing an artificial tree, you’re not going to own a safer product as advertised. Plastic trees are made of dangerous plastics and metals that are not biodegradable, thus polluting our environment when discarded.
Real Christmas trees are an all-American product, grown in all 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii.
