Always better to have a real tree than a fake. Christmas trees are usually grown in specific "farms" for that purpose; during its living a Christmas tree consumed CO2 from the air, and can always be planted again after being used. Fake trees are made from non eco-friendly materials such as plastic, and they are estimated to have a carbon footprint at least ten times larger than a real tree. Not to mention the fact that they need to be disposed of afterwards.

Yes getting a real Christmas tree is really irresponsible. This is because to get a real Christmas tree we have to cut down many leaves from a tree. already our environment is in lack of trees. so cutting again many treas will affect our environment in many ways, that in fact will affect us only.

Having a Christmas tree in your home can be a winter comfort that has a minimal effect on the environment. When buying a Christmas tree, it is important to know where the tree came from and how it will be disposed of. Tree buyers should buy trees from sustainable tree farms that replant a tree for each one that is harvested. Look for tree farmers that are local and do not have to ship their trees by truck thousands of miles. This reduces the carbon footprint of your tree. When it is time to dispose of your tree, make sure it is free of tinsel and lights, and give it to a local organization that will make mulch or fish habitats with it. These programs are often provided by local governments, and often include curbside pickup.
