Natural or Artificial Flavor

For anyone that's ever wondered whether it's better to have a Natural vs. Artificial Christmas Tree - here's your answer:

Christmas Tree Environmental Impact Assessment

If you don't want to wade through eight pages of detail, here's what you need to know:

Unless you keep the artificial tree for 20 years and continue to use it afterward, a natural tree has a smaller impact on climate change.

When compared on an annual basis, the artificial tree has three times the negative impact on climate change and human health. However, the artificial tree is four times better in terms of ecosystem quality.

My conclusion? I think we're all better off using a tree like the one we have in our North Dakota apartment. Made of recycled materials, minimal decorations, and the best part is, your pets won't try to eat it:



Merry Christmas!!
