The Bite:
imageWanna be omnipotent - at least when it comes to your Christmas tree? Look over the 80 acres of Scotch pine, Douglas fir, and Colorado blue spruces at U-Cut Xmas Trees, and see all that is good. Don't worry about smiting your tree - if you cut it above the lowest branch (ask the staffers for help), it'll grow back into a full-size tree in about 7 years. (Also: Look for our upcoming tree recycling tip.) Plus, they're grown without pesticides, fertilizers, or extra water - just sun and rain - and unlike their fake PVC plastic counterparts, they don't release cancer-causing toxins during production. While you're there, rejoice over the great sledding - and hot chocolate in the gift shop. Heavenly.
Wanna Try: 
U-Cut Xmas Trees, 11200 S. Highway 83, Franktown (about 45 minutes from downtown). Map It (303-660-4770). Open 9 am-4:30 pm, Fri.-Sun., Nov. 28-Dec. 14.

Small Changes Add Up

Cutting trees mindfully helps keep the number of CO2-absorbing trees on our planet in abundance.
