Go Green
with NO Chemicals at Chengerians!
There are real benefits to
purchasing a farm-raised fresh tree for your holiday
celebration. According to the
Children's Health Environmental Coalition,
"Artificial Christmas trees are also made of PVC and
could contain lead as well. Trees may shed lead-laced dust,
which may cover branches or shower gifts and the floor below
the tree. If you cannot ensure that your tree is lead-free
and you have children in your home, we suggest that you
dispose of the artificial tree and purchase a new tree. The
most environmentally friendly choices are potted trees that
can be planted in the spring or live trees raised on
sustainably managed farms, or organic Christmas trees."
Why go with an
artificial tree made from non-renewable plastics and
petrochemicals, maybe containing lead? A real tree is 100%
renewable, recyclable, supports the local economy and
reduces greenhouse gases in the environment. Best of all,
our Fraser Firs have excellent needle retention, fragrance
and color. Chengerian's trees are grown without chemical
fertilizers or insecticides. Find your perfect tree this
year at Chengerian’s. For more information about
real versus artificial trees, visit the
National Christmas Tree Association web site.
