Personally, I love our 'Charlie Brown' tree. We are Charlie Brown kind of people.
I shake my head at the people who are supposedly living a 'green' lifestyle, recycling their eyeballs out, but support an industry which cuts down a perfectly good, oxygen producing, live tree, so they can stick it in their living room for 2 weeks after which they toss it out on the curb to be turned into landfill. |
I absolutely love that tree, Lucifer! It's dead, but it looks so cute, especially with the ornaments -- it fits the design of your living room, too.
We personally buy a tree, but don't toss it to the side of the road after Christmas. We use the tree for firewood, to prevent it from going to waste. By the time we take it down, it's turning brown anyway, and it's frigid outside, so it's a win-win situation.
