Christmas is just around the corner, and every year, people are arguing about which is the best choice for the environment: natural felled trees or artificial trees?

It is worth mentioning that under the enthusiasm of Christmas, it is normal for people to fall into waste and produce garbage, but every year there are new options to prevent this from happening, that is, to reduce the number.

Garbage from gift packaging or food waste are examples of problems worldwide. Nevertheless, for those who are willing to care for the environment, the biggest challenge is undoubtedly the choice of the Christmas tree.

This is why we ask ourselves...what is the best choice for the environment? Artificial tree or natural tree?

It is conceivable that neither of them is free from harm to the environment, but here I will mention some of the advantages and disadvantages of these two options, while not giving up the good idea of ​​having one of these icons at home.

For many years, people have always thought that the option of having an artificial Christmas tree is the best, because it will not affect the flora of any ecosystem, no matter what material it is made of.

However, artificial trees are usually made of steel and PVC, which are the worst types of non-renewable petroleum-derived plastics.

In other words, the good news for obtaining one of these trees is that in theory it will last for many years; but the bad news is that the materials used to make it will not disappear from the environment, so it is obviously not the most sustainable choice.

But in addition, we must add that most of them are made in China, so moving them to wherever you are will cost the atmosphere a few tons of carbon dioxide.

Although experts believe that in the long run, artificial Christmas trees may be less harmful to the environment, but to make this happen and become sustainable, we will talk about that person or family instead of buying another tree (artificial or natural). ) In more than two decades.

If you buy a tree for life, maybe an artificial tree is the best choice, but refurbishing Christmas decorations is also a factor.

Maybe it’s not the most exciting to buy PVC with Christmas icons for our corner, but obviously natural trees also have their shortcomings.

The biggest problem is that Christmas pine farms use pesticides to prevent pests. This is why insects are destroyed and the environment is polluted in the process of protecting these trees. This is something we usually don't consider.

However, this can be solved by finding a sustainable and responsible place that uses organic and harmless products that are good for the environment, which is not easy.

Now, the most painful thing for the environment is that day in January, when we went to work in the morning, we saw that the streets were full of Christmas trees, garbage and garbage trucks were clearing them, (although not all cities are the same in the world). world).

The good news is that the practices of individual buyers can be changed and become sustainable, which will be reflected in the benefits to the environment.

There are hundreds of places in the world, whether it is a private project or a government project, which can properly dispose of Christmas trees for composting.

It should be mentioned that although the leaves of the tree have dried, it is still an organic material that can be used for environmental purposes.

But... what is the best Christmas tree choice for the environment?

As you know, artificial and natural Christmas trees as a sustainable choice for the environment have both advantages and disadvantages. All in all, the best option is to cut down natural trees with a pleasant final destination or artificial trees that last a lifetime.

However, there are better alternatives to the two, which have become popular in recent years.

Christmas trees can be rented in some places; they are installed in flower pots without cutting the roots, so they will not affect their growth and respect their lives.

Now, if you love and care for the environment, and you want to take care of your pockets, the best option is to plant a large pine tree at home so as not to wait for its evolution.

This can be placed in a flower pot for several years, and finally planted in a green area, in addition to purifying your house throughout the year, and at Christmas, it will only be decorated in the style of Santa Claus.

The challenge of this great alternative is to take care of the pine or Christmas tree, because it is not easy, because the land it lives on must be rich in minerals and other substances, in addition to the right location, fresh place, natural sunlight and natural airflow .
