Why Your Fake Christmas Tree Could Be a Festive Mistake


Listen Later

Thought that fake Christmas tree was just another festive shortcut? It might be hiding more than you bargained for..

Beneath the sparkle and convenience lies a hidden story of hormone-disrupting chemicals, off-gassing toxins, and plastic needles coated with phthalates—all decorating your home while quietly impacting your health. For kids and pregnant women, the risks are even more alarming.

But it’s not just about what fake trees do to your family; it’s about what they’re doing to the planet. These PVC-laden giants are filling landfills, contributing to pollution, and adding to the staggering five billion tons of waste generated every year by consumer habits. Meanwhile, real Christmas trees, grown sustainably, could actually be cleaning the air and enriching the soil.

This holiday season, let’s cut through the noise and rethink how we celebrate. In this episode of SuperLife, I’ll break down the science, the risks, and the simple ways to make a better choice—for your health, your loved ones, and the Earth. Listen now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
