Real Vs. Fake

Anya Smith

Everyone has a Christmas tree whether it is a real one or a fake one, we asked 38 people the same question about whether they preferred a real or fake Christmas tree and the answer shocked us. 14 people voted for a real tree because it smell good and remind them of Christmas. They are also a tradition and you also don't have to store a Real tree cause you get a new one every year.  24 people voted for a fake Christmas tree some people prefer a fake tree because they are scared of animals or it's cheaper and you don't have to buy one every year. Also, you don't have to store the tree and worry about the lights not working on the tree the next year.



Real and Fake trees both have their pros and cons. Real tree pros include 

-the smell they have 

-picking out a tree can be a fun family outing 

-friendly and recyclable 

-1 acre of Christmas trees provides enough oxygen for 18 people every day

-Supports small tree farms in the USA


The cons of a real tree are 

-Needles can cause a mess

-Trees can carry allergens

-Use of pesticides at farms that are not organic


Fake tree pros include 

-Can save you money over time

-Last an average of 7-9 years

-Watering is not necessary and there is no needle mess

- easy to set up


The cons of a fake tree are 

-the majority of the trees are made in China 

-Transporting these trees overseas consumes oil and fuel and releases carbon emissions

-Fake Christmas tree and fill up the landfills 


What do you prefer a real or fake tree and why would you choose one over the other?
