Environmental impact is a critical aspect of the Christmas tree debate, as the carbon footprint of an artificial tree is approximately 11 times higher than that of a natural tree.
Most artificial trees have an average life of seven to 10 years, and during this time, harmful phthalates can accumulate, posing health risks to consumers.
Artificial trees are produced under poor working conditions and often shipped thousands of miles, increasing their environmental footprint due to fossil fuel consumption.
Artificial trees cannot be recycled and contribute to environmental issues when incinerated or sent to landfills, where materials can take decades to decompose.
