Here’s a little video tidbit that many of you probably had no idea about. I know I didn’t. When you think about Christmas Trees, many of you probably think that the act of cutting down a living tree only to put it up inside your home for a few weeks is the furthest thing from being “Green” as you can get. Turns out, anyone thinking that would be wrong.
That’s right, buying and cutting a REAL tree each year to serve as your Christmas tree is a great way to go green and actually give back to the environment when you’re done with it. The trees you buy at a tree farm are insect free, smell amazing, and when finished, can be reground up to use as fertilizer for soil, helping to grow even more trees next year. The moment one is cut, one is planted to replace it. Perfect.
Don’t believe me, check out this awesome video I just found that shows just how great buying a REAL tree, instead of a plastic or artificial tree, really is. Have a great weekend, stay warm and finish up that holiday shopping!
Hello and here’s hoping that you’re belly is ready to be stuffed, your pillow is ready to support your head, and your friends and family are ready to laze around, probably watch football, basketball or some early Christmas special on television. That’s right, it’s the time of year once again to give thanks, and so from all of us at Northern Tool, we’re thankful for all of YOU!

Tomorrow, as you well know, is Thanksgiving! The day for eating, laughing, sleeping, watching sports or early Christmas shows, eating more, and then sleeping again. We all know the holiday, we love it and we love the food that always accompanies it. I for one, look forward to the holiday MONTHS in advance. Now, I want to find a way to “Green” our Thanksgiving a bit, and I found a perfect way to do so.
That’s right, I found a perfect way, and it’s a bit unconventional and actually only will work if you live in an area that is somewhat conducive to the idea. Nevertheless, the idea is cool and it actually is pretty simple: Forage for your Feast! That’s right, there are a great deal of wild, organic fruits and vegetables out there that are completely forageable. The article I just read mentioned that the following foods can be found, snatched up and later feasted upon:
Birds
Berries
Nuts
Mushrooms
Flowers
Fruit
Not in an area that really would allow you to forage like the olden days? How about doing the very same foraging at a Farmer’s Market or Organic Market? The same quality foods can be gobbled up from there without the dirt, plane ticket and bug spray to actually trek into the wild. Nevertheless, it brings up a perfect point: Thanksgiving this year can be so much more organic, healthy and environmentally friendly if we just all take some steps to “Green” it up a little. This is a DIY project I can fully get behind!
