Trees and Dogs
The most environmentally friendly tree available today for the Christmas Holidays is the LED Artificial Christmas Tree.
Not only are you saving trees for future generations but you are also saving energy and your pocketbook in savings. Real trees take years to grow and serve a higher purpose by providing oxygen to the planet as well as removing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
When you buy a live Christmas tree, you are removing a wildlife habitant for animals as well as decreasing soil and water retention for the land. The live Christmas tree although it has a pine scent, usually poses an allergy problem for most people. As they are cut down in October and November for the Christmas season around the country, they acquire molds, dust and pollen.
Live Christmas Trees only grow in certain parts of the country such as the state of Michigan, so they have to be transported to the southwest or southeastern states, which uses up fossil fuels and pollutes the environment.
Every year 6 million live trees are cut down for Christmas, that is 6 million trees per year every year.
An artificial LED Christmas tree will save over 20 years, 120 million trees in a time when we need shade, and habitats for animals whom have lost a lot of their territory.
When you bring the real Christmas tree into your house, you are bringing in these health hazards and all the needles that fall off along with it.
After hours and hours driving around town, trying to pick the right tree why not chose a tree that arrives at your doorstep, fully decorated, lit and ready to be set up in your living room.
While using an artificial Christmas tree you are saving 20 trees in 20 years and just think what vast amounts of forests we could save if we all pitched in and bought Artificial LED Christmas trees.
LED Artificial Christmas trees save hundreds of dollars on your electric bill over the holiday season and burn brighter than incandescent lights. When one light is broken, the rest of the lights stay on unlike the regular lights you can find on the market.
LED Artificial Christmas trees come already pre-lit so there is no fuss or muss to string the tree year after year with great frustration.
You do not have to water an LED Artificial Christmas Tree so that saves another natural resource which usually ends up all over your carpeting when the trees fall over each year.
Yes real and live Christmas trees are beautiful and they belong exactly where they grow, and that is in the ground. That way everyone can admire and enjoy them year round and for years to come.
What happens to that live tree after you throw it out with the garbage is it becomes sawdust and mulch which is such a waste of 10 years of growing a real and live tree.
If you need the pine scent, just buy a pine scented candle or you can try essential oil burners and enjoy your Christmas Holidays.

Allowing jobs to go to China, allowing uninspected foods to come into Canada and the USA are literally killing people, children and pets.
Al Gore can change it in a big hurry, and I wish he would run for President.
Come on Al....
