Politically Correct Christmas Trees
Here's some good news. Provided it doesn't have a star on top, even a Christmas tree can be politically correct:
Christmas tree growers have been pushing the environmental benefits of fresh trees over artificial trees for a number of years. Now a handful of Oregon growers have created a system to help consumers identify trees grown under certain environmental standards. […]
To pass muster, a farm must be inspected to ensure that it meets certain standards for managing wetlands, nutrients and pests. Water and soil conservation measures are reviewed, and biodiversity and worker safety are also considered.
The trees are not organically grown, but the coalition says the measures help mitigate some of the environmental dangers of Christmas tree farming, such as excessive use of pesticides and contribution to erosion.
There's not much you can't greenwash, with a little imagination — which explains why industries have shortsightedly played along with the global warming hoax, despite the threat it poses to their long-term interests.
On a tip from Bill.

prepare thyselves for the saddest instance of Moonbattery in human history, ever, period.
And when I say "sad" I don't mean "funny sad" or "ironic sad". I mean "sad".

Considering most of those trees are grown in the Carolinas, I really doubt that anyone is going to the farmers and asking for freakin' soil samples.
Just more eco-hucksters lying about their so-called seals of approval.
