Am i the only one who finds it odd....?

Question

I find it strange that every one is worried about the environment and "saving the trees" yet no one says a thing about pointlessly chopping down trees for Chirstmas.

Am I the only one?

Answer 1

most christmas trees come from a rotating tree farm that cycles christmas trees in a 3 year growth cycle.

trees used for christmas trees are not in the same category as the trees in the "save the environment" rants. cutting christmas trees is no different than farming vegetables such as corn or brocolli.

Answer 2

Well, I understand your point of view, but Christmas trees are grown for the specific purpose of cutting them down for Christmas. I like to think that every year when the vendors sell Christmas trees, they plant just as many more so that they may continue to provide them for the people. Since they are not taking away from the environment, as in cutting down forests to make room for subdivisions, etc, I don't think it affects the environment. Hope this eases your mind a little bit.

Answer 3

Over 90% of Christmas trees are grown on farms that plant trees for this purpose. The trees most threaten by environmental issues are rainforest trees, twhich provide a large amiunt of oxygen for our planet.

Answer 4

Well, Christmas Trees (Pine trees) are regrown each year, at tree farms. So we're not really losing them. Saving trees are more like the mighty Oak and Redwoods, etc.

Answer 5

There is always the option of a living tree. It is potted and can be brought into the house for Christmas. It can live in the pot for several years and when it gets to be too big for the house you can plant it in your yard.

Answer 6

Most Christmas trees are specially grown just to be cut down...and then are replaced, then the replacements are used next year...
