What if I told you I bought it from a place that takes money out of the proceeds of the purchase to plant a replacement?

Of course they plant new ones. They need more to sell next year.

Drama and controversy in the Christmas tree thread! It's what all the best POTDs need!

Stop it spin. There are tree farms that replant every year and dead trees feed the earth.

As long as the dead trees are converted into compost/mulch, then it's not too bad for the environment. But, if you burn it, or bury it in a landfill, it's a significant source of greenhouse gas production, which is obviously harmful to the environment.

Mine either goes in my dad’s backyard to decompose and build up the land or gets recycled by the city and turned into mulch so get your self righteous real Christmas tree shit out of here. You don’t see me attacking your fake Christmas tree.

Artificial Christmas tree can be harmful because it is made of toxic materials. It is usually made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used synthetic plastic and it contains dangerous chemical additives including phthalates, lead, cadmium, and/or organotins.

Spin not only am I going to dump my tree in your backyard to decompose I'm going g to drop a deuce as well to decompose

My struggling grass would appreciate the fertilizer, so thanks!

Human shit is a terrible fertilizer.

We use real (per Nicole’s choice) but I really don’t have a preference. Real are cool and smell good but they are more effort.

Christian @ 7/12/2019 11:30 farlig @ 7/12/2019 12:28 Lamps @ 7/12/2019 11:26 Yeah fake... Just set mine up. No Christmas trees in my car plz. In the car? :crazy: do you mean instead of on top? Yes. Never seen anyone actually put a real one IN the car.

Ours isn’t that big (6 feet tall) so we put it in our car.

My grandma had a cabin on the lake, and she would drop her old trees off her boat dock. It was crappie fishing heaven.

I grew up with real, but I think we eventually transititioned to fake because it was more practical.

I don't like to clean up a mess so fake.

#savethetreeslol

Used to get real ones until we got a Norwegian one once.
When I was bringing it in it began to thaw and with it all the bugs on it.

Never again.
