Christmas Tree Footprint Calculator
Compare carbon emissions of real versus artificial Christmas trees
Ecology Formula: Real trees have a low footprint (~3.5 kg $\text{CO}_2\text{e}$ if recycled) vs. Artificial trees (~40 kg $\text{CO}_2\text{e}$ manufacturing, requiring multiple years of reuse). Select your configuration below.
