am i the only one who feels nothing but saddness when the glorious, tallest tree of all is trucked in, tied on like some sacrificial lamb to the slaughter and then hoisted up for the city of New York to discard after a few weeks? i live in a part of the country that doesn’t seem to value trees that much and what it takes to get them to that size. i have absolutely NO problem with a fake tree if it will save a beautiful oxygen-giving live one.

See – I would think chopping down Christmas trees as being eco-friendly. Most Christmas trees are grown specifically for Christmas – to be cut down. If we didn’t chop them down, no one would grow them.

I have read this story a few days ago, while I think it surely a better choice compared to cut tree or fake one, best one I like (for us) that is to have a live plant on our garden. Plants go through shocking when it goes from outdoor to indoor weather, or so I have heard from gardeners.

What do you think?

I love this idea! We have an artificial tree now, but I think this is great for people who get a real tree every year. I want to cry when I see those poor trees sitting on the curb awaiting garbage pick up.

We live in Portland (we miss Vermont, though!) and have friends doing this…it IS a great idea!
