Question

let's have a debate on trees

Answer 1

hey


Cutting down trees is good for the environment. Yes, you read that right! It may be counterintuitive but when it comes to the great real vs. artificial debate, real Christmas trees are proving to be the more sustainable choice. Down on the farm In North America most Christmas trees are grown on tree farms, practically in every state and province. The trees are then shipped to nearby cities or towns, or are cut on location by energetic families. These trees are grown specifically for the purpose of decorating a family's living room and are usually about 10 to 15 years old when cut, depending on the species. It's estimated that one acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people daily. In the U.S., according to the National Christmas Tree Association, there are approximately 500,000 acres of Christmas trees supplying nine million people a day with oxygen. Green all year round Trees are an ideal way to trap any extra carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carla Grant, executive director of the Ontario Forestry Association, says that a tree's growth rate is linked to the amount of carbon dioxide it can scrub from the atmosphere.
