[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4827245, member: 41321"] I think from what we've heard from MonkeyDragon that the tops wouldn't grow back. This would probably be as bad as using farmed trees, possibly worse because it's not sustainable. Eventually you will run out of pretty tree tops and will be left with just stumps. And if you're concerned about what happens after Christmas then it doesn't matter whether you have a top or a whole tree. There's the same amount of "waste tree" afterward. IMO Christmas tree farming is best. It's sustainable - the farmers are consciously planting the trees and harvesting them. If people just buy the trees from farms that's the best we can do aside from making everyone get fake trees. And actually, fake trees are probably not that great, either. They don't last forever, and while they get thrown out less often than real trees they DO eventually get thrown out. And the type of stuff they're made out of doesn't biodegrade, unlike a real tree.
