Winter is fast approaching. Nights will be their longest. But hope beacons from the lights on our Christmas tree. The evergreen symbolizes eternity. But we do not want our old plastic tree to sit in a landfill forever either. For this reason, artificial trees are not environmentally friendly. In addition to this, syntheitc trees are made from petroleoum-based PVC.
To have a truly green Christmas, select a live, uncut tree that can be replanted. If this is not feasible, select a real tree cut from a tree farm. As they grow they release oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. When the season is over it can be turned into mulch. Do not put tinsel or artificail snow on it.
“In everything natural there is something marvelous.” Aristotle
