Live VS artificial tree: what to choose for New Year's celebration

But what to choose in 2021 to celebrate New Year with child?

Deforestation

Surely you have repeatedly thought about the fact that huge tracts of forests are being destroyed by the New Year, and for what?

We hasten to calm you down at least a little!

If you buy a Christmas tree or pine with markings at the Christmas tree market, it is most likely will be grown on special plantations, in spring a new generation will be planted on such plantations trees.

This is reported by the State Agency for Forest Resources of our state.

How to choose a living tree?

Christmas bazaars in Ukraine have been working since December 10.

You can buy a Christmas tree or pine at fairs, nurseries and even via the Internet. If the tree was legally felled, grown on plantations, then it will be labeled with a barcode. Please do not encourage illegal tree felling and buy trees with labels. By the way, you can check the tree for:

• open.ukrforest.com and yalynka.info.

When choosing a living tree, pay attention to the smell so that the branches are flexible and do not break off.

Faux Christmas tree

An artificial tree in the production process emits about 40 kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is 10 times more than a living tree that is burned. To compensate for this damage, you must use your artificial tree for at least 10 years (if you use it carefully, this is a very realistic period).

Remember that the artificial tree must not be exposed to high temperatures (over 40 degrees).

It is also necessary to choose a tree carefully, let the seller show you the certificate, pay attention yourself if there is a characteristic smell of plastic, the needles should not deform. In addition, the tree should not burn, but immediately go out, the experiment can be carried out in the store by holding a match to the thorns.
