Live Christmas Tree Grows Up




In an earlier post gifts keep coming in from eco footprint, I brought up my article about using live Christmas trees to heal the scars from a fire in Tilden Park.

Here is the article, colored from age but still a fresh idea, I think.

And the tree--imagine it once in a smallish pot in our living room. See it now as it triumphantly stands over a North Berkeley backyard.

Dad says it's a Mexican Pine. If we were to get live Christmas trees and use them to plant in much needed areas, we would need to choose wisely and plan ahead.

Just think, we could be healing the planet by carbon off-setting, and still enjoy our holidays!

Tell me how you are being Green.
