If you are wondering if buying a real tree is still a good idea or will you end up depleting precious natural resources, consider these facts.

The majority of the trees being sold as Christmas trees are grown on farms just for this purpose and for each of these trees chopped down for your home, another 2 to 3 are planted. Farms for Christmas trees are actually ecologically beneficial as every acre of trees provides enough fresh oxygen for 18 people and they actively cleanse the air. Also, these farms help preserve open space and provide habitat for wildlife. On the other hand artificial trees, when discarded will last for centuries in the landfill.

So you may be better off getting a  real tree rather than a fake one for all the same reasons you have been refraining from using materials that are not biodegradable.
