My post is about the environmental impact of Christmas trees; I don't really care if people put up trees or not and I'm not attacking Christmas. When the tradition of Christmas trees started, there was little to no environmental impact because people went out to the woods, used an axe to chop down a tree, lugged it home either on foot or horse drawn wagon, and then when they were down, took it outside and chopped it up with an axe. Virtually no environmental impact using that method. Today's method of acquiring and disposing of trees has a huge environmental impact.
