If the Christmas tree comes from woodland that is sustainably managed or replanted, it will have a much smaller carbon footprint than an artificial tree made from plastics and undoubtedly imported with all the carbon produced during its journey.
This is a great article – on average, a plastic artificial tree needs to be used for 12 Christmases in order to have a lower carbon footprint than having a natural tree and disposing of it every year.
Of course a natural tree absorbs carbon whilst being grown.
