Real trees vs fake trees

Fake Tree Pro's:
Reusable
Easy to use
Allergy safe

Fake Tree Con's:
Made of PVC. The production of PVC creates a lot of pollution.
Lead is commonly found in the PVC, witch is a health hazard.
Not bio degradable.
85% comes from China.
Have to store for most of the year.

Real Tree Pro's:
Renewable

Real Tree Con's:
Not easy to recycle
Watering during raising
Pesticides

So STWFer's, real tree or fake tree?
