After a trip out to the Beaverton Holiday U Cut Family Tree Farm ( http://www.holidayucut.com/ ) yesterday the Cyan is now ready for the Holidays! So come down to our community Living Room, grab a cup of hot coco, and watch the lights of our Holiday tree twinkle.
Holiday Trees Improve the Environment
- Each acre of Holiday Trees provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people, converting CO2 to Oxygen.
- For each Holiday Tree that is cut, we replant a new tree each year.
- 93% of real trees are recycled into mulch and used in landscaping and gardening or chipped and used for playground material, hiking trails, paths and walkways. They can be used for beachfront erosion prevention, lake and river shoreline stabilization and fish and wildlife habitat.
- Artificial Trees are manufactured with PVC, a non-biodegradable, petroleum-derived plastic. These put toxins into the air during production and are non-biodegradeable and non-recycleable, meaning they will end up in a landfill after their lifecylce is finished.
- A single farmed tree absorbs more than 1 ton of CO2 throughout its lifetime.
- The lightest environmental impact provides for families cutting trees from a local tree farm that focuses on safe and conscientious practice.
