My blogging friend Heather from I grew This made an excellent point about my previous post about the Rockefeller Christmas tree .  She wrote,"Please don't hate me, but I don't think it's that bad... "After being taken down, the tree was used to furnish lumber for Habitat for Humanity house construction."..pines grow really fast on the tree spectrum, it's not like they are cutting down a red wood. I would gander that the environmental impact of fabricating a fake tree that size would be more detrimental than cutting down a new one every year."

Thanks for the feedback-that's exactly what I was looking for! 

It's midnight and I really need to get some sleep now.
