    Its definitely more eco friendly, the alternative is plastic trees which are worse for the environment.

    Christmas trees capture CO2 while they mature and are biodegradable/renewable

      We have compost programs in my area, and they usually offer free christmas tree disposal. Some programs mulch them, and I think the Parks&Rec department uses the mulch to maintain parks.

      I don’t really see a big downside.

        Absolutely no downside, we should be advocating for natural trees vs the fake ones.

        Though, i must admit I’m guilty of temptation – the thought of not having to wrangle lights with a prelit tree does entice me (i haven’t given in though ✊)
