I just came across an interesting discussion: Is cutting down Christmas trees bad for the environment?
I always thought nowadays the trees were specifically grown for the purpose to be cut down for Christmas - and if they wouldn't be needed, they wouldn't be grown full stop. And plastic trees can't be good for the environment.
But the discussion took me a little unaware. What's your view?

i don't have much idea about christmas trees being grown just to be cut during christmas.but otherwise cutting down trees harm the environment immensely.with the drastic climatic changes happening in recent years , we should try and propagate afforestation.

Maybe in some countries they cut down trees for the purpose of having a Christmas tree of their own but in some other countris the trees are cut due to illegal logging which causes the floods & climate change. But if people are responsible to practice reforestation maybe the world we have not is not as worst as what happened to us now.
