December – Look for an Evergreen Month
- This is not an official holiday. I really just made it up.
- We cut down thousands and thousands of evergreens each year to decorate our homes. Then they get discarded.
- Yes, some are used to curb erosion, but it isn’t a significant amount.
- Instead of buying or cutting down a tree that you will discard, how about buying a tree you can replant or give to someone who will replant it.
- Every time I see the huge Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center I think, how awful that a tree that lived that long and grew that beautifully is killed for no good purpose other than to be adorned with lights and then discarded at the end of a holiday.
- Instead of being revered for its age and beauty, the tree was killed. It doesn’t make sense. An artificial tree could do the same job and be just as beautiful. Think about an artificial tree this season or a tree that can be replanted.
