Real Trees Are Better (Bumperstickers should be issued.)

Each holiday season renews the age-old debate: Should we buy a real tree or a fake tree, and which is better for the environment? The fake tree you use for years and years, or the real one that gets used once?

Treehugger, a leading sustainability information source, Healthy Child Healthy World, a nonprofit children’s health advocacy group and many other organizations agree that plastic trees are to be avoided.

Most are made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC, a plastic that contains hazardous lead as a stabilizer. As the trees age, they release lead dust that collects on the branches and the floor. Most come from China and exceed U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations for lead levels.Lead, as many of you know, is a toxic heavy metal that is known to cause brain damage, behavioral problems, anemia and a host of other health issues.

Furthermore, fake trees are not recycled when thrown away, but are simply landfilled.

Real trees, by contrast, are grown on farms in the U.S. and Canada like any other crop, and new trees are planted for those that are harvested.

Real trees are also 100 percent biodegradable. They are typically picked up for recycling and ground up for mulch, or composted to return their nutrients back to the earth.

So make the healthy, eco-friendly choice and buy a real tree.

Corner-Copia will be open November 26 through Christmas Eve, selling fresh, fragrant, superior-quality trees and all your other holiday decorating needs -- wreaths, roping, fireplace mantel greens, lights and more.

See you at the Corner!

Corner-Copia Featured in Star-Ledger Corn Maze Article

Corner-Copia's Family Fun Maze was recently featured in The Star-Ledger with a great article and video that talks about how corn mazes have gone from "a simple, discombobulating romp through the corn" to  huge, complex, computer-designed spectacles.
