They were going to throw it out and a buy a new one so I got it for free. I figured its one less tree in the landfill.

I have carried on that tradition with my own Norfolk pine in the corner of the living room. It looks great all year, and quite festive around the holidays.

1. as josh lucas does!
2. a real one together with all it’s roots and plant it after outside
3. branches cut from a tree

so no tree has to be cut for christmas because christmas is the symbol of christ’s birth and also people should stop to slaughter animals for christmas – this is as wrong and perverted as a fist on an eye!

About 5 years ago we got a fake tree, and frankly, I assumed I was doing the environment a favor. I actually love my little fake tree. I can have it be 7 feet tall if I have space, or if not, leave off a portion and it'll just be 5 feet. It's lasted great so far. Regarding the real trees, having an uncle that is a Christmas tree farmer, I know that this is also like a crop, and the trees are planted for this very purpose...and of course, new trees will be planted where old ones used to be. The sticky part for me is that living in Miami, these trees are coming from FAR FAR away. Something I don't hear talked about much. Emissions, gasoline/diesel, etc. And no, I don't want to decorate a palm tree instead. It's no where near the same! So I guess I'll keep going with the fakey until it dies...but I think she'll last a good while. Happy Holidays! I grew up with real trees and always loved them.

The birds love the extra places to hide and stay warm. It stays green for quite awhile and doesn't usually start getting dried out until Spring when we'll Mulch it up.

I like the idea of buying a real tree, roots and all and then planting it after you're finished with it, if that's an option for you. However, if all the millions of people who have perfectly good fake trees already did a wholesale dump into the landfills just so they could buy and organic fake tree that would be a problem. I guess my first question would be, can a fake tree be recycled? If so, how much energy would it take to recycle it? I say if you've got one use it until it's not good anymore then look into an eco friendly tree then next go around.

Maybe I won't feel so bad about getting a tree this year. Oh and hey Mars, you know what they say about ficus don't you? (Yeah, I don't either). Anyway, I don't know what company produces those trees and in fact Josh didn't seem to either. He just said that's what was labeled on the box. I even did a little google search action and couldn't seem to find anything. Anyone have Josh Lucas' number? We could call him up and find out. It sounds to me like a natural tree from an environmentally responsible farm is the way to go this holiday season...or of course my baby pineapple tree idea.

Another creative green solution to the tree disposal problem!
