When choosing the Christmas tree, many consumers sensitive to climate change seek to choose the one that is least harmful to the environment.
CNN consulted some experts and, according to them, the environmental impact of an artificial tree is less if it is used for at least five years.
While those who defend the use of a natural tree point out that while the plant grows it helps to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In addition to that each time one is cut it is replaced by another.
