Artificial trees are usually made from non-renewable plastic material (& many contain PVC.) Yes, you can use these trees for a few years. But, they’re most likely not recyclable.
Getting a real tree may be more work but there’s some major advantages:
The truth is some people are Christmas tree folks, and some not so much. The bottom line is a real tree beats a fake.
Perhaps you only have lukewarm feelings about the tree tradition: Consider taking a year off! This year I’ve decided to forego the tree thing, instead adding holiday touches of my childhood Christmas decorations (they’ve been around for years and have managed to get me in the holiday spirit!)
