Each holiday season, shoppers find themselves confronted with a difficult choice: to celebrate with a real tree or a plastic tree. What most people don't realize is that the best choice has always been the traditional and natural choice, a real Christmas tree. Real Christmas trees are a benefit to the environment from the time they are planted until after the holiday season when they can be recycled.

Here are five good reasons to "go real":

1. While trees are growing, real Christmas trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen. This transactions helps prevent the earth-warming greenhouse effect.
2. Every acre of growing Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirement for 18 people. In the United States, there are approximately 1 million acres of growing Christmas trees; meaning that 18 million people a day are supplied with oxygen thanks to Christmas trees.
3. Farms that grow Christmas trees stabilize soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts. Often, Christmas trees are grown on soil that doesn't support other crops.
4. Artificial trees are a petroleum-based product that consume vast resources during fabrication. A burden to the environment, artificial trees aren't biodegradable and will remain in land-fills for centuries after disposal. The average life span of an artificial tree is only six years.
5. Real Christmas trees are easily reused and recycled.
