My article is called, "Real Christmas Trees Easier on Environment, Experts Say" by Pamela Tsai.
IT is about how buying a real CHristmas tree is actually better for the environment than buying a fake one. This quote from the article sums up what it is about- “Research has shown that trees slow the rate of greenhouse gas accumulation in our atmosphere,” Springer says. “Christmas tree farms provide a haven for birds to take cover from predators and harsh weather, and they can feed on insects found on trees. The farms also help maintain open, undeveloped space. This type of green space is important because it can serve as a bridge between larger tracts of contiguous forest land for animals, plants, and insects. According to National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA), there are about 350,000 acres in production for growing Christmas trees in the United States, of which much preserves green space; growers plant one to three seedlings for each tree harvested."
