The Big Apple Christmas Spectacle: Rockefeller Tree

We couldn't get through the holidays without a holiday blog post-the demands of the age of technology .  But, hopefully this one gets you thinking.  We don't have any ideas for compostable or reusable gifts...but the "greening" of Christmas is an interesting trend to follow.  The Rockefeller tree has undergone the transformation, the green transformation that is.  But how green is it?  The "Huff Post Green" recently questioned the success of this transformation.  This questioning brings to light a thought process that is important always and especially this season, "green" is marketable-do your research.

On the flip side, for the past 4 years the Rockefeller tree trunk has been donated as lumber to "Habitat for Humanity", check out this video on the recent recipients of their "Rockefeller Tree" house.
