Ungreening Christmas
Maybe I didn’t recycle all the wrapping paper we used this year. I know I didn’t compost the egg shells from the cookies I baked. I probably should have hunted down boxes that used recycled paper or used gift bags made from organically raised plants. At the very least I could have sent cards printed with environmentally-friendly soy-based ink.
But even as pathetically ungreen as I may be, I know better than to stick the fake Christmas tree (pre-lit!) in the special dumpster at the park for Christmas tree recycling. Not so for one of our neighbors. Sometimes you just have to wonder.
Well now that purple is a vaguely grape flavor, maybe the person got confused and thought green meant tree. And that metal stuff just meant that it was bionic or something.
