Going green to get the Christmas tree

With the weather as nice as its been the last few days, some families are dumping their cars to get their Christmas tree.

“Eric Seibel of Ballard went negative in his carbon footprint of getting his Christmas tree this year,” Tom Roush emailed us. Seibel and his two boys Asher and Clayton rode their bikes to and from the Boy Scout Christmas tree lot at St. Alphonsus School. “I got a call from him about 20 minutes after I took this picture,” Roush says, “He was elated to say that not only did he and the boys make it home safely, but the tree was alive and well, and was still standing straight up. Must be something to this whole knot tying thing and scouts.” The scouts just received another 400 freshly cut trees in time for another sunny weekend. “Our scouts will tie your tree to your car – or clearly, whatever vehicle you happen to show up in,” Roush concludes.
