| Re: Green Cost Of Christmas And how many people using those items have never been to church, don't believe in God, or have any idea what the holiday symbolizes on any level other than a commercial one?  Quote:

| Re: Green Cost Of Christmas BUY A FAKE TREE!!!! It's not the answer..but it's a start. And people need to buy more things like Christmas cards made from recylced paper (I do this kind of stuff, yes I take the time to read the package) Christmas is a waste..and Flutter's right, a lot of people don't believe in it. But I think Christmas is good for people to get together with family, whether they believe in it or not. But we can do it in such a better way economically.   |

| Re: Green Cost Of Christmas We didnt do a tree this year...who knew we were being so "activist?"  I always check to see if what Im buying is recycled too; must be the "granola" in me... ringing it back to another thread, one acre of hemp (pot) can produce 4x the amount of paper of an acre of trees, you know?  |
