The holiday season is upon us, and many shops are now stocking Christmas trees. Around the world, some countries like the US, UK, France, and Canada prefer to have real trees. North America consumes 40 million trees each year, and to meet that demand 73 million are planted annually, as not all will survive to maturity (which takes 6-10 years). Other countries, especially those in South America, tend to opt for artificial trees. The debate has always been fierce as to whether natural trees or artificial trees are more environmentally friendly. Some research has suggested artificial trees need to be used for 20 years to surpass the environmental effects of a natural tree.
