Real Christmas trees provide a plethora of benefits
to the environment, and our farmers go the extra mile to ensure
natural resources are preserved for future generations. Check out
these facts on the environmental impact of real Christmas
trees:
While growing, real
trees produce significant amounts of oxygen that is released into
the environment, protect soil from erosion and provide refuge for
wildlife.- Real Christmas trees are the best environmental option
for consumers, according to former Greenpeace President Patrick
Moore, Ph.D.
- Pacific Northwest Christmas trees are grown on
sustainable farms in the U.S., just like produce, nuts and other
crops, so they do not threaten natural forests.
- Real Christmas trees reduce carbon emissions by absorbing
carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, which people, plants and the
environment need to survive.
- Real Christmas trees are renewable, and growers plant one
or more trees to replace every tree they harvest.
- Many times, Christmas trees are grown in soil that won't
support other crops.
