Why use a real Christmas Tree?

Farmers Stimulate The Economy
Real Christmas Trees are grown just like any other crop on family owned and operated farms. All of the money from the production of this crop stays in local economies, and supports working families in the community they are in. Because they are a crop, Christmas Tree farming is a year-round job.

Americans enjoy about 35 million real Christmas Trees annually. Christmas Tree farmers add $1.5 billion dollars to the American economy each and every year! Don’t forget that money is returned to the American economy, and not China’s. (via CTFANY)

Real Christmas Trees Are Safe
In recent years real Christmas Trees have come under attack as not being safe. But, is there really any truth to that statement? Let’s take a look at the facts. Each year, approximately 35 million real Christmas Trees are purchased in the United States. According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) data, fewer than one-one thousandth of a percent (0.001%) of Christmas Trees are involved in a residential fires! Of course a real Christmas Tree doesn’t spontaneously combust. Those trees involved had an outside source as the cause of the fire. Plus that statistic includes both real and artificial trees. The NFPA states the cause of these fires were mostly caused by lamps and lighting, with the rest being from open flames or embers and even cigarettes. Never has a real Christmas Tree caused or started a fire. (via CTFANY)

Environmentally Responsible
What stabilizes the earth’s soil, protects our water supply, and acts as a natural animal habitat? A real Christmas Tree of course! Christmas Trees can grow and stabilize soil that would not normally support other crops. Chipped or mulched Christmas Trees can be burned for fuel and used as a renewable source of energy. The mulch helps to stabilize soil, prevents erosion and as it breaks down literally helps to produce new earth!

Did you know that Real Christmas Trees can be recycled? The obvious way is through mulch, but they can also be used as a shelter for song birds, bunnies, foxes and fish.

Real Christmas Trees help clean the air! Studies have shown that one acre of 8 to 12 year old Christmas trees produces a half ton of new biomass each and every year. Younger trees will produce even more. This removes more than 500 pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere and refreshes the air with 1,000 pounds of life-giving oxygen. Real Christmas Trees also help to remove dust and pollen from the air. So help feed the trees…EXHALE!

Real Christmas Tree farms produce scenic green belts that create wildlife habitats, clean the air, and produces oxygen, making for a healthier planet. If you see a Christmas tree farmer, thank them for a better world!
