I think it is great that several US and Australian companies are offering beautiful and unique alternatives to the PVC laden artificial Christmas trees shipping in from China.

I just did a quick internet search and learned that in 2006, more than 9 million artificial trees where shipped to the US from China. In 2004, the government estimated that more than 50 million household owned Christmas trees made out of PVC. BTW - there are plenty of these PVC trees in the $500 price range - have you checked them out lately?

So, I applaud the companies who are creating job in the US and offering beautiful, high quality Christmas tree alternatives.

I think that those of us who are SUPER green will never be happy with any sort of Christmas tree alternative. Those folks should continue to forgo a Christmas tree, or buy a living tree and plant it at the end of the season. For those people who want a tree but can't get a real tree because they aren't available in the area where they live, or because members of their family are allergic to the tree, well then, I am glad that they have some creative options available to them.

Bravo Jubiltree!
