A study conducted by the University of Kentucky found that the dominant contributor to the carbon footprint and variable costs of field-grown trees is equipment use, or, more specifically, the combustion of fossil fuels which occurs at harvest time. Organic waste in landfills generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
