    Another alternative is to decorate the trees outside of your house with ornaments. You can use the same live tree year after year and just store your presents indoors! It may not have the same "Christmas" feel but it would still be nice to look at the tree from a window!

    I agree with making trees organic and local, but renting trees, and trying to keep live trees seems like it wouldn't be worth it. I was wondering if Christmas trees acted as a carbon sink, and this article says they do! http://www.focusonforests.ca/files/forest_facts/Christmas_Tree.pdf

    Growers here on the Baja Peninsula, the epicenter of Mexico's thriving new organic export sector, describe their toil amid the cactuses as "planting the beach." Del Cabo Cooperative, a supplier here for Trader Joe's and Fairway, is sending more than seven and a half tons of tomatoes and basil every day to the United States by truck and plane to sate the American demand for organic produce year-round.

    For decades, farm bills in the U.S. Congress have supported large-scale agriculture. But with the 2012 Farm Bill now up for debate, advocates say seismic shifts in the way the nation views food production may lead to new policies that tilt more toward local, sustainable agriculture.
