If you’re looking for a fact-based, pro/con treatment of these kinds of issues, check out The Green Lantern department at Slate.com. Its columnists have tackled several topics near and dear to the green industry, like whether it’s better to buy a fake or real Christmas tree and which shade trees soak up the most carbon."
