Fresh Michigan Christmas Trees: The Environmental Choice |
| By selecting a fresh, farm-grown Christmas Tree as the centerpiece of their
holiday celebrations, consumers can honor a favorite Christmas tradition while
helping the environment. Not only is a fresh Christmas tree a favorite among consumers, it’s an excellent
environmental choice as well. “Unlike
artificial trees which are made of plastic, real Christmas trees are renewable
and recyclable,” says Jill O’Donnell, a Christmas tree specialist with the MSU
Extension Service. “However, many people
still perceive cutting trees down as bad for the environment and that’s not the
case. Natural Christmas trees no longer
come from the forest. They are grown on
farms throughout North America.” |
