Have you read about the advantages to our atmosphere due to these forests? Please Google "Christmas tree Recycling". I think the farmers who grow Christmas trees as a crop, which is harvested, would disagree with you about your definition of what they grow.

OK. But at least consider the carbon foot print of millions of cars driving to the box store every year to buy another three, the chain saw that cut it down, the truck that brought it to the store, the truck that removes it from your home, the gas burning chipper just for a few. Now compare that to going into your storage room to get out your artificial tree for many many years.
