"The most environmentally sound answer would be to dispense with a tree completely I suppose. We normally save a suitable branch from a tree pruning, paint it white and decorate that. Looks good and attracts compliments."
This could go down in history as the most sensible thing that you've ever said, CG. I shall give you a thumbs up for that.
It was shortly after we'd bought our plastic/metal artificial tree about 30 years ago that I started fretting about the over-use of plastic. OK, so much of the green plastic has now fallen off and the 'Which' report's verdict that it it looked like a bog-brush becomes more apt every year. My wife says that it's time to sling it and has introduced something along the lines of CG's idea which, to be honest, I think looks rather good.
