Being an environmentalist really makes the Christmas Tree debate a personal one for me, especially living right in the middle of the forest and being as passionate about saving trees as I am. But I know what a HUGE carbon footprint those plastic jobbies leave when they are made and placed in your home. So where does that leave an environmental steward like me?
We looked high:
And we looked low:
And then we found the most perfect compromise ever! We took a tree that already needed to be cut down! This spectacular Colorado Blue Spruce was encroaching on the power lines at The Royal Roost, our "Nest in the Woods" getaway cabin for visitors.
It also was blocking some much needed sunshine from that very same cabin, so we knew it needed to go sooner or later, so I said why not use it for a Christmas Tree and firewood?
So this year, so far, my dreams are coming true. What is your opinion on the Christmas Tree debate? What are you doing this year to be green? Or maybe to save some "Green"?

Good that there is a lot of thought over cutting down the innumerous Christmas tress that are grown all over USA.There are artificial substitutes also but one good way is cutting down one for planting another.
