Hello, Go Greeners!
Let's Hear It For The Snow!
How lucky are we: two dustings in a week. And if all this winter-ness is making you hanker for those holiday good-times, well it's a good thing you're here! This week, learn all about
NYC's Christmas Tree industry as we investigate our local tree stand. Plus, there's all sorts of
holiday events to be found in our calendar. So get out there and make merry!
And for those of you anxiously weighing your Christmas Tree options, flitting between real and artificial, and wondering which is better for our environment, know this:
the jury is divided. Many folks feel artificial trees, by amortizing their obvious drawbacks (Chinese manufacture, PVC materials, etc.) over 10 or more years,
may actually edge out real trees for energy efficiency. Meanwhile, tree enthusiasts cite data
favoring real trees, in part for their carbon-sequestering abilities.
We here at Go Green don't really have a dog in this fight. But if you do get a real tree, than we hope you know about
Mulchfest!
Go Green! |
