Three Years Ago in TreeHugger: The Christmas Tree Debate Begins

Being TreeHugger's first Christmas, we dipped our toe into the real or fake tree debate for the first time, with ::How To: Pick a Green Christmas Tree. It is the subject that keeps on giving; read subsequent posts on how ::Christmas Trees Add to Global Warming because in the Southern United States, hardwoods and indigenous pine trees are being cut down to make Christmas tree farms. Others have suggested that the greenest trees are Living Christmas Trees. The debate rages on in our forums. More from ::Three Years ago in TreeHugger.

I haven't looked into this in any detail, but I would think where the tree comes from and go make a big difference. We get our tree from a tree farm in town, and when we are done, the county waste department will pick it up and either use it for compost at our community farm that produces 10% of the city's produce or use it for electricity generation at our wood chip power plant.
