I’d actually argue that if you’re going to decorate, pumpkins and trees are some of the more responsible decorations
They’re renewable, easily biodegradable, and (especially if you grow your own pumpkins in a suitable climate) have a pretty minimal if not helpful environmental impact
we are using the same artificial trees we’ve been using for the last, uh we got the last big one about 15 years ago and the last tabletop one 10 years ago. got a big bag in the garage for each tree to take it apart and not have to put all the decorations on each year (two decades of running a christmas tree festival takes all the magic out of decorating)

I’d rather grow and cut down fifty trees than have one plastic tree, personally. Forever trash is a big deal for me.
