O CHRISTMAS TREE–CERTIFIED GREEN!

by ECM | November 17, 2008 2:14 am

The
Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers™ is asking consumers to
purchase a real “certified green” Christmas tree this holiday season
for the following reasons:

• Artificial Christmas Trees were recently added to the Center for Health,
  Environment & Justice’s list of household products containing polyvinyl
  chloride, or PVC

• Real Christmas trees are natural products of the U.S., contributing to
  the nation’s economy

• Real Christmas trees decompose rather than accumulating in landfills for
  hundreds of years or emitting toxic chemicals when burned, like artificial
  ones

• Real Christmas trees take pollutants and carbon dioxide from the air to
  produce fresh, free oxygen for us to breathe
• Real Christmas trees are harvested like any other farm crop, and for every
  tree that is cut, one to two are planted in its place

• Real Christmas trees are the better choice for the economy and for the
  environment.

The Coalition of Environmentally Conscious Growers is a non-profit organization
whose mission is to heighten the public’s awareness of live cut trees,
as well as to certify that members’ trees are grown in a “green” responsible
way. The certification is audited by an independent party, which evaluates
growers on erosion control/soil conservation, integrated pest management and
tributary protection. For additional information visit please www.christmastreecoalition.org[1].
