How To Work For An Eco-Friendly Christmas
It has been a while since the Christmas tree turned into a world-wide custom of the holiday season. Preparing the tree with pretty lights and several other ornaments is more than a mere act of embellishment: it is a moment of collaboration and reciprocal aid between the members of the family who are in the happening.The only thing we generally do is merely celebrate the instant, with no regard to outer polemics; nevertheless, the holiday season is seen by many environmentalists under a completely different lens. The interrogation motivating the polemic is the following: after all, which kind of tree is the better to the environment, the real or the fake ?
Not many years ago, the artifical choice was the most sustained opinion; The arguments, by the way, seemed absolutely decisive: The fact that having a natural Christmas tree implied cutting it down was taken a strong and unmistakeble reason to use a fake tree the the season.
However, time started defending new opinions, and today the defence of plastic trees isn't peaceful anymore. Therefore, it'll be pertinent to understand the reasons of this new account.
- The Problems of Factory Made Christmas Trees -
The main trouble of factory made Christmas trees is in the fact that they have polyvinyl chloride, a CO2 producing petroleum-derivative material which isn't reusable. Then, everytime we get rid of an artificial tree, we are helping to fill even more a garbage dump, where it'll remain for a long time.
Additionally, several toxins liberated to the atmosphere by the factories are substantially harmful to public health. Several additives used during the production process represent a serious source of several health consequences.
- Nevertheless, Natural Trees Have Problems As Well... -
Though this frightening scenario, a large amount of people still defend that the compulsive plantation of natural trees has some as well problematic consequences to public health. It isn't merely the destruction of our green spaces that is problematic, but also the constant use of chemical pesticides in the commercial cultivation of Christmas trees.
- Organic or Artificial? -
There's one alternative which has been suggested, and various people are now taking advantage of it: a) adopt biological agriculture and b) promote a different way to commercialize the trees.
By buying a tree with its roots (tilled with respect for the rules of an ecological husbandry) you can (possibly) avoid several referred ecological and health troubles.
Harmonizing this with less damaging agriculture procedures we may have a 'greener' Christmas. This appears to be the right way to guarantee, year after year, an ecofriendly Christmas. It is all in our hands! For more interesting views: presentes originais.
