Real or fake: the Christmas tree dilemma

It’s time to have that great December debate once more: real or fake – Christmas trees, that is.

It’s no longer a simple choice. More and more “experts” seem to be telling us that buying a cut tree is bad for the environment.

It’s true that cutting down trees of any kind minimizes the level of oxygen that circulates in the air while increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (they release greenhouse gasses when they decompose).  Christmas trees also take several years to grow, are almost immediately discarded and usually find their way to landfills.
