Conscious Christmas: Real vs. Fake Trees
Get on the planet’s nice list — go green
It’s an age-old holiday decision: whether to use a real Christmas tree or a fake Christmas tree as your home’s holiday centerpiece. For many, this choice is backed by years of yuletide tradition. But which is actually better for the planet?

How so?
Fake trees are often made with plastic and metal. Most fake trees are produced in China and then shipped globally; resulting in an increase in carbon emissions.
