I posed the same question on Facebook that I asked here yesterday- Which do you prefer-a real Christmas tree or an artificial one?
The responses were more than 2-to-1 in favor of real trees.
There were also some terrific “green” hints that I really appreciated. Here they are:
- “I think we are going to do a fresh cut tree this year and then chip it and use it in the flower beds after for mulch and will smell good and keep fleas away.”
- “I live in a small apartment and just found the perfect tree….. a potted rosemary, shaped just like a pine. It smells terrific and takes up very little space….+ I can plant it in my friend’s yard after Christmas!”
- “real…then we chop it up and add it to our mulch pile!”
What great ideas! If you do have a real tree, keep an eye out for businesses or local agencies that will chip it up for you after Christmas. Thank you all for your earth-loving suggestions!
