Benefits of REAL Christmas Trees
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.
-
Each acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen
requirements for 18 people.
-
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.
