Season's Greetings

We've escaped the ice and snow.

And just in the neck of time, it seems.






















Glass for ice; paper stars for snow. I like the trade-off.


Last year, we bought an artificial tree.

I miss the real kind, but it seems more responsible to have the other.

,,,,,,,,,Bought plastic--resulting in encouragement for the manufacture of more plastic.

.........Effect on reduction of live trees cut each year? Probably none, excess trees are cut each year. Would take years to make impact, if at all.

.........So possible reduction of one live tree into landfill for each year of plastic one used ? Iffy.

.........But since we didn't buy a live tree, possible excess of 6/8 live trees added to mulch or organic recycle?


.........Results in a chance of a plus to the environment BUT excess trees must be mulched using machine that either runs on electricity or fuel.

.........Landfill: Addition of one plastic tree in about 6/8 years.)

.........Balance of impact on affecting environment: ??


Message to brain: STOP THINKING!................

We hung a real evergreen wreath on the wall though, just to have the smell in the house.


.........Are we even on the environment thing?

.........Message to brain: SHUT UP!




Anyway, Best Wishes for the Holidays and Good Cheer for the New Year!
