Fake or Real Christmas Tree? Year Wha GET THINKING ...

 

Which is more sustainable - a fake or real Christmas tree?

Year Wha GOT THINKING ...

Only two out of 22 tamariki thought a real Christmas tree is more sustainable.  Here's why...

PRO FAKE:

You can use the plastic one for a longer amount of time but the real one you have to compost - Emily

The plastic tree can reuse more but if you buy new Christmas decorations each year then you have to have a lot of room on the tree - Frida

A real one can only be used once- Zoha

If you got a real tree the pine needles come off and whither and die and a bunch of people cutting down trees - that's a lot of trees - Elizabeth

PRO REAL:

The plastic ones even if you reuse them will go into landfill, but a real tree you can compost it
