The farms that grow Christmas trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts.

Real Christmas trees are renewable.

Real Christmas trees are grown on farms just like any other crop. To ensure a constant supply, Christmas tree growers plant one to three new seedlings for every tree they harvest.

In contrast, artificial trees are a petroleum-based product manufactured primarily in Chinese factories.  The average family uses an artificial tree for only six to nine years before discarding it, where it will remain in a landfill centuries after disposal.
