It may not sound like "tree-hugging," but cutting down a real tree for Christmas is actually greener than going with the artificial kind, one scientist says.

"It is a little counterintuitive to people," said Clint Springer, a biologist at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.

Funny, we're pretty much always know this in agriculture, but nice to see the mainstream media get on the trolley.

I agree with the caption under the picture of the CHRISTMAS TREE. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannuka and Joyous Kwanza to everyone. Good luck to everyone in the next farming season too.
