Tonight they lit the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. The press is making a big deal about the fact that this year it's a "green" tree that is less environmentally wasteful. It uses less electricity to light, and its powered by solar panels, and the tree's wood won't be wasted. As the AP reports:
Organizers are planning to recycle the tree by using it as lumber for Habitat For Humanity projects in New York, the Gulf Coast, India and Brazil.No word on the amount of fossil fuel required to ship lumber from a giant Christmas tree from New York to India and Brazil.
