Another problem with nursery trees is that they've been sprayed and fertilized with synthetic petrochemicals which we might rather not expose our families and pets to by bringing them into our homes. My green tree solution is to decorate a tree that grows in the yard outside our windows - it's beautiful and easy and it grows taller each year. It's not a fir, but it brings plenty of holiday cheer our way. Thanks! Trish Riley, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Green Living.
