This morning I saw a Ford commercial that advertised one of it's vehicles that has off road capability. It showed a nice family in a festive holiday mood, in an SUV driving up a gravel road into the forest. Nice huh? Then the guy gets out and proceeds to chop down a Christmas tree and strap it on the top of the vehicle. During all this the announcer is extolling the virtues of doing this rather than going to local Christmas tree lot and picking out a tree which BTW, was grown for this purpose.
A couple of things wrong here. That probably isn't his property or his tree! Number two, we don't need to be encouraging people to go out in the woods and just start randomly chopping down trees!
I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but we can't afford lose our trees. They provide heat, shelter, food, building materials, paper (all kinds, if you get my drift), and most importantly, Oxygen.
Just sayin........Bob
