Real Tree vs. Fake Tree

You've heard the argument: Fake trees are more environmental friendly and you aren't killing a tree.

But how many trees would not have been planted if they weren't destined to be Christmas trees? How many fewer trees will be planted as the Christmas tree business goes south? I know just down the road, a Christmas tree farm closed up shop five years ago. They aren't planting new trees anymore. How many more will go bankrupt thanks to this "green" philosophy?

Interesting Question. It is worth remembering that Fake Trees are made with plastic, which is a byproduct of oil. So would not Real Trees be more environmentally friendly?

By the way feel free to come and join the conversation about EP on my blog.

I didn't realize that plastic was a byproduct of oil...

As for feeling unwelcome, nope. Just not someone that wants to engage in unwinnable debates. To obsessive and stubborn for it.

But that doesn't mean I won't give my opinion. ;)
