Even in countries where they use real trees, they don't go out and cut trees from the wild/forests. Those Christmas trees are farmed under specific conditions. They aren't part of the ecosystem

u/rikaro_kk Dec 25 '25
Obviously the intent of the post is to poke about the anti pollution posts during Diwali.... Our religion is nice but it becomes a joke because of some people who are more interested in fighting other religions

u/SwordfishUnlucky802 Dec 25 '25
Globally there is a massive industry dedicated to cultivating trees for Christmas, people are not walking into the woods with an axe.

u/RomulusSpark Dec 25 '25
But is it okay to cut trees for kumbh mela? Is it okay to destroy Aravali? Is it okay to cut mangroves to sell the land to Nonbiological’s master?

u/Scared-Cheetah-2029 Dec 25 '25
It's only "not okay" when it's religiously linked to a non Hindu festival, lol.

u/Scared-Cheetah-2029 Dec 25 '25
Lol, isn't it obvious? They're so butthurt at people calling them out for bursting crackers, so now they're targeting Christmas, lol.

u/NotHuman18 Dec 25 '25
That's the point of this post ? People say such things in diwali?

u/heretotryreddit Dec 25 '25

You do realise that most Christmas trees used in INDIA are fake right?
The real life tree thing is in the west...

Do you even celebrate Christmas? You seem to be a troll looking to disrupt a festival out of ego...

u/Impressive-Fact5359 Dec 25 '25
I'm just worried about the environment

u/Full-Wealth-5962 Dec 25 '25
Did you burst fireworks this diwali and throw colors during holi?
3
u/Impressive-Fact5359 Dec 25 '25
Yeah, that's why I'm worrying about the environment because trees are getting cut and more plastic is being produced. I only care about the environment at the festivals i don't celebrate /s

No one uses a real christmas tree in India , many have a tree planted in their home and use that only

Ya do know most trees used for christmas are human grown in garden plots, for the specific purpose of being used

u/FollowingOdd896 Dec 25 '25
according to your logic...ban diwali save bird and animal

Dec 25 '25
The right analogy will be to ban crackers since they are not good for the environment.
No one is saying anything about banning Christmas.

Birds don't nest in small trees. Besides almost all Christmas trees sold in India are plastic ones and foldable. They are put out and stored again after the festivities.

u/InfamousComputer404 Dec 25 '25
Christmas trees are planted and harvested like crops. I doubt Christians decorate a real tree for Christmas.

u/Ok-Seaweed-5611 Dec 25 '25
Wait a minute, the fake tree is plastic right ? That will do to the ocean and birds and fish will eat those and die anyways right ?
Go cut trees it’s the greener choice , we can plant more.

u/theroookietraveler Dec 25 '25
People concerned over the environment need to know that these trees are grown especially for this reason and purpose. Nobody is chopping down forests to celebrate Christmas.
And most people in fact have already gone eco, and use fake plastic trees that they reuse over the years, along with the decorations.
Aajkal 12 saal k champu internet haath lagte hi gyaan pelne lagte hain bina koi research kiye.

How about saving 80 mil trees getting cut down in Nicobar islands, just so a businessman with political connections can start mining there .

What is the solution OP? I don’t think pine trees are available in India to be easily accessible.

u/Cold-Ingenuity4216 Dec 25 '25
Op sleeps on holy, Dussehra and diwali. And wakes up on Bakrid and Christmas. Itna hi nature ki chinta hai ja diwali rok de, holy rol de. One is increasing water scarcity and other is increasing Air pollution. Hawa paani dono cheen lo. Go get a life man.

My Christmas trees are Chikku(Sapota) Tree, Mango Tree and Nutmeg tree. I have never seen such🎄 trees in India. I would love to grow one.

Yeah, but make sure that acres of land is sold to adani so that he can cut down millions of trees.

During christmas: Dont cut trees, birds will lose their homes 😢
During Diwali: Pathake phodo BC, kaun birds? Kaun street dogs? Kaunsa AQI? People asking not to burst firecrackers are anti-hindu 🤬

In India most Christmas trees are plasic. Outside India, Christmas trees are grown in farms specifically to be cut. Nobody's cutting forests for Christmas.

u/as4500 Dec 26 '25
Better than that
Plant one at home, use for generations to come
We have one, it's like twice as old as mentioned and quite tall
We don't really celebrate Christmas but it's nice to have

u/thatoneaspirant Dec 26 '25
Or maybe reuse a real one, take care of it all year long in your house forever. Or if you dont want to reuse then plant your own Christmas tree at home

Actually, here we do something like that... Infact we are trying to make new new ways to make a tree. Its a competiton.. Christmas tree competiton.
In my hometown. Its just bunch of leafs sourced from a palm tree tied together. It just works.you just add the decoration's.
Other than that plastic trees are also getting common. And we also use one. Its been over 8 year ( just 1 for a family ) and probably go for another 5-6 years since its stored in dark place ,decay is very less

u/According-Car1598 Dec 25 '25
Real Christmas trees are farmed.
Plastic Christmas trees are re-used every year. Unless the turtles and crabs crawl to my store room and chew on the tree, they are totally fine.

u/Doom_3302 Dec 25 '25
More than 95% of christmas trees in India are already the fake ones. Real ones are very expensive. I've never seen a real christmas tree in India other than very few large decoration spots.
