are real christmas trees better for the environment

Yes, real Christmas trees are better for the environment because they are biodegradable and can be reused or recycled. Artificial Christmas trees, on the other hand, are made of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials that can take up to 400 years to decompose. This means they are more likely to end up in landfills and contribute to plastic pollution. By choosing a real Christmas tree, you are helping to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable practices.
