The Middle Distance

*thoughtful* What would be good is if it were easy to first buy a live tree, and then be able to donate it to the local parks commission for planting. It would save the parks $$ and be good for the environment, too.

[I consume enough paper (just printing out lecture notes, fic drafts, etc. is a surprising amount over a year) that I don't figure one smallish tree every other year or so adds that much to my environmental guilt, and I really dislike fake trees.]
