Real Vs.Fake 

Real Plantation Tree	Artificial Tree
A real tree isn't always perfectly shaped, but each one is unique, just like people.	An artificial tree has a perfect shape (but it still looks fake).
The real tree you pick will look different each year taller, wider, or even have a different type of needle.	The artificial tree you buy is exactly like the thousands of others and will look pretty much the same each year.  (Ho Hum)
Real trees are fragrant and smell like the forest.	Fake trees smell like….?
A real tree spends 8-10 years growing on a farm, all the while producing oxygen and providing shelter for wildlife before it makes it to your living room.	An artificial tree spends eleven months wasting space in your closet before you set it up.
A real tree is biodegradable and will eventually decompose to provide essential organic matter.	An artificial tree is non-bio-degradable and will last for thousands of years in the landfill after you throw it out.
After Christmas, a real tree can be mulched for garden compost, used for a fragrant bonfire or even sunk into lakes and ponds to provide a habit for fish.	After Christmas, an artificial tree goes back in the closet to collect dust.
You and your family can spend an afternoon in the fresh outdoors of a tree farming picking from thousands of trees.  Perhaps even enjoying a sleighride and a cup of hot chocolate around a bonfire.	Your family can spend a few stressful hours in a crowded shopping mall looking for an artificial tree.
A real tree provides a job for the grower and his hired help during its life on the farm and is then replaced by another tree to start the cycle over.	An artificial tree creates a job in a factory during its manufacture until that job is replaced by a machine.
Real trees use carbon dioxide, a gas emitted by automobiles and factories, and turn it into clean oxygen to breathe.	Fake trees use non-renewable resources and energy and create pollution during their disposal.
