Stop Killing Christmas Trees: Buy Or Rent Live Ones Instead!

Share the Love!


Nature goes through a great deal of effort and expends an exorbitant amount of energy to give birth to a tree. Sunlight blesses the tree while the soil gathers nutrients and feeds it. To kill a beautiful pine tree to cater to contrived holiday impulses and obsessions is selfish, unconscious, and disrespectful. To honor nature with light and love, respect every tree! It’s near to that time of year again when everyone gets into the festive spirit. The shops are being decked with Christmas trees, carols will soon be played on every radio station, and advertisements for gifts, food, and drink are everywhere you look. But why does it feel as though this has become an over-commercialized holiday?

Many of us recoil from the onslaught of twinkling lights and fake fir trees, which have somehow become symbolic of this time of year. An artificial tree is much less hassle than cutting down a real one, but there’s something rather sad about owning a fake Christmas tree. Truth be told, once you get over the lack of smell (which you can fabricate with essential oils), owning an artificial tree is awesome. They provide a lovely alternative to Tree Auschwitz every year. You might also consider renting or buying a live tree. Some of these
services allow you to rent the tree for 7 years straight, after which it’s placed in a forest to grow beyond the height of your living room.

Here are six reasons not to buy a pre-cut Christmas tree again this year:

Trees Are living Beings Just Like You And Me!

While trees live in their own universe, it doesn’t mean they are not as alive as human Beings. In fact, trees communicate with each other and the soil, distributing nutrients to communities of trees throughout the forest. In some ways, not all, killing a beautiful tree is akin to disabling your grandmother. Alive, beautiful, present, and full of goodness, trees, just like grandmothers, should be loved, nourished, and protected. They’re a waste of money and resources
If you plan to buy a pre-cut Christmas tree, you’ll be spending a decent amount of money on something that will only last a few weeks.

Although pre-cut Christmas trees are often sold at discounted prices depending on the time of year, they can still add up to be quite a significant amount of money. When you factor in everything needed to maintain a real Christmas tree, it’s likely that the costs incurred may outweigh the costs of buying a fake one. You’ll need to factor in things like the cost of a stand, potting mix, fertilizer, decorations, and the cost of transporting it from the store to your house. Even though you can buy a real Christmas tree for less than $50, the total cost will be much more than that, once you factor in the maintenance costs.

Real Christmas trees need to be watered regularly, especially if you choose to buy one that’s been grown in a pot, to prevent it from drying out. They also need to be kept in a place where they get plenty of fresh air, as well as enough sunlight to prevent the needles from getting brown. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, so you can use them as fertilizer for your garden after the holiday season is over. If you buy an artificial tree, you won’t have to worry about watering or feeding it, or that it will lose its needles and die. However, it will also take a long time to break down, so you’ll be dealing with it in the trash for months after the holiday season is over.

They’re difficult to dispose of properly

Real Christmas trees make great decorations and are the perfect addition to any holiday party. However, it’s important to note that they must be disposed of properly. TheEnvironmental Protection Agency recommends that real Christmas trees be left outside for as long as possible to avoid polluting indoor air, especially for those living in urban areas. If you live in a rural area and have plenty of space, you can leave your tree outside year-round. If you live in an area where you’re not allowed to leave your tree outside after Christmas, you should leave it outside as long as possible before bringing it inside to dispose of it. You can bring it indoors if you’re worried about it being stolen, or if you’re worried about it catching on fire.

There Are Better Ways To Save Money

If you’re worried about having the cash to buy a real Christmas tree, then worry no more! Many people are renting out their live Christmas trees this year, which is a much better alternative to throwing them away after the holiday season is over. Save a life and enjoy a living tree! Real Christmas tree rental services are becoming increasingly popular, and there are even some services that let you rent a tree for free!

Moreover, many of these services will deliver the trees to you free of charge. There are many reasons why renting a real Christmas tree is a better alternative to buying one. In addition to the fact that you don’t have to worry about disposing of it later, you can also choose a tree that is the right size for your home, as well as one that has been grown sustainably. Meanwhile, you preserve life rather than killing it.

There are even some services that will let you choose the tree you want, including the type of tree, the color of the needles, and the fragrance. Renting a live Christmas tree is also a great way to support local businesses and honor all of Creation, God, and a variety of fragile environmental ecosystems.

Dead Trees Are Not Great For The Environment

Real Living Christmas trees have a number of benefits, but they aren’t without their downsides. As mentioned above, real Christmas trees are biodegradable, but the process can take years. Choosing to buy a real tree is the equivalent of planting one for every one you take home.

If you want to cut down your own Christmas tree, you need to ensure that you’re doing so in a sustainable way. If you want to buy a real pre-cut Christmas tree, you need to ensure that the tree has been ethically sourced.
Many dead, pre-cut Christmas trees are imported from countries such as China, where the forests have been devastated by deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Real, genuine, live Christmas trees grown sustainably and ethically have a smaller carbon footprint and are kinder to the environment.

Conclusion

Real Christmas trees are living Beings who should be preserved, cherished – and kept alive! When kept alive, they are great for you, your family, and the environment. If you’re worried about finding the cash to buy one, or don’t have the space to keep it after the holidays are over, then renting a real live Christmas tree is the best option for you. Living Christmas tree rental services are becoming increasingly popular, and most will deliver the tree to you, free of charge. There are many reasons why renting a real Christmas tree is a better alternative to buying one, including the fact that you can choose the type of
tree you want, like its size, colour, and fragrance. Real living Christmas trees grown sustainably and ethically have a smaller carbon footprint, are better for the environment, and kinder to wildlife. In the process of renting a living tree, you honor yourself, your family, The Divine, and all of Creation.
