ABC is to be commended for taking the all-in/lifecycle view of the choices.

Imagine if they did that across ALL environmental topics.

As we said growing up, “Fake trees are for communists.”

What a stupid inquiry.

The Delusional Lying Left looks for anything to dampen your joy and would like to ban Christmas and the Bible altogether.

Soon, but not yet.

Real versus fake NEWS Christmas trees: Which is more environmentally friendly? The answer isn't as transparent as you might think.

Fake news is far more destructive to society as a whole, not to mention it needlessly creates deadly green house gasses by them speaking and exhaling after spewing their propaganda....

This year’s Christmas tree is a Virginia White Cedar. Unable to bear the weight of lights, we went with tinsel. The tree was growing on a friend’s property and they wanted it gone. We call it our Hoover tree, a Depression era Appalachian throwback.

Watch out for that word “sustainability” and the Left’s lying application.

“Sustainability” is being use as a lying concept based on the faithless fear that somehow the earth cannot “sustain” the use of its population.

Faithless because God made the earth ABUNDANT for a full population and an eternity of use. The earth is RICH.

No matter. The Left works by fear, not reason and faith. We are in the age of fear. “Sustainability” like everything else is and will be used by the Delusional Lying left as an excuse for worldwide totalitarian government.

Don’t need the hives or the annual expense. Tree from a crate works best for me.

Dear ABC:
I’ll buy whatever I damn well please and you can STFU.

Been using a fake tree for 20 years. Actually on our second one. Wrestle the big tree box downstairs, pull out the three main parts, slip the male end into the female end, plug in the cord for the pre-installed lights...and presto. The days of live trees with dirt balls is long gone, or even live trees without the dirt ball.

Only brain dead liberals would think the choice is not transparent.

It is blindingly obvious which one is more environmentally friendly.

Who cares.

Have what ever makes you and your family happy.

The rest of the world can just go shove off.

In the tradition of FR, I didn’t read the article. Did the author take into account all the petroleum necessary to transport a tree from wherever to the lot to your home and then to wherever it gets disposed of? And that used by the chainsaw to cut it down?

And artificial trees can be reused for decades. They can even be passed on to children.

My tree is a 3 foot dollar store special my mom bought for me years ago as a joke. I kept it for some unknown reason. In 2020, there was a shortage of real trees, and the ones you could get were astronomically priced. So, I dug out the old dollar store tree, put it up on a stool and decorated it. We all liked it so much we’ve been using it since!

Who cares? The only thing I know is that artificial these days is the only way to go for me! So simple with the plug in segments. My latest tree takes me 3 minutes to put up and take down. The lights look great and can be all white, or multi color. Have a special bag for storage.

Yes, I always check with ABC before making a purchase.
