So which is better: wood or plastic?
bauble - 'bɔːbl
побрякушка, безделушка
a piece of jewellery that is cheap and has little artistic value
Example: Christmas trees are certainly green under all those baubles, lights and tinsel.
tinsel - 'tɪn(t)s(ə)l
блёстки, мишура
strips of shiny material like metal, used as decorations, especially at Christmas
Example: Christmas trees are certainly green under all those baubles, lights and tinsel.
mulch - mʌlʧ
мульча (перегной, солома, защищающие почву от испарения, замерзания)
material, for example, decaying leaves, that you put around a plant to protect its base and its roots, to improve the quality of the soil or to stop weeds growing
Example: Real trees can be turned to mulch and when continuously grown and harvested sequester even more CO2 than a single tree living its full natural life in the wild.
dry out
высушить
to become or to allow sth to become dry, in a way that is not wanted
Example: They won't dry out in your living room and rather than spending an eternity in the local landfill, they can happily absorb planet-warming CO2 in your backyard.
