Each post I have read is well written and to the point. I would also like to state, not only are the posts well written, but the design of your web-site is excellent. It was easy to navigate from article to article and find what I was looking for with ease. Keep up the great work you are doing, and I will return many times in the future.

My green take on Christmas Trees is that when the wife and I moved into our home we bought a live, balled fir for our first year. We dressed it with the typical glass and plastic ornaments that we have acquired through the years, and then we planted it outside when the season had passed. The tree now lives in our front yard, and it looks great. During this Christmas and future holiday seasons we decorate the tree with ornaments made of bird-seed. We have a red bow that we tie to the top of it. The bird-seed ornaments look great and they attract other colorful, lively ornaments (birds). This makes it so that we don’t have to bring a tree into the house, we don’t have to chop a new tree down each year, we don’t have to “settle” for a plastic tree… In general this cuts down on a lot of waste, and it is a more fulfilling experience. Plus birds make nests in the tree all year ’round.

I can’t imagine having a fake tree, I don’t plan on giving up a real tree or all the decorations but I’m not going to buy any new ornaments anymore. Really I have more then I need now and I don’t want to bring more plastic in just to decorate with for a couple weeks.
