Christmas Trees

[wrexview]

Anyone know if the Scouts on Dean Road are selling real Christmas trees this year?

[Mike Davies]

Not this year.

[JP]

Pity, rather give my money to the Scouts than some of the other usual suspects.
They were good trees as well.

What a shame, have had a lovely tree from them for the past few years.

Wrexview buy an artificial tree and save the carbon footprint.

[Ioan y Ffin]

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.

Wrexview After reading the posts of Ioan y Ffin and Matt I have had second thoughts and maybe suggest you go without a tree this xmas.
