- Which Christmas Tree Is "greener"--ask Lassie
Being "green" means more than just being "green". The debate over a real Christmas tree and an artificial Christmas tree continues. "Should I Buy a Fake Fir? Or is it better for the environment to cut down a real Christmas tree?" by Brendan I. Koerner...
