I’m not trying to make lots of headlines about this pattern, but I don’t want to revise past posts. I’m not looking for these killed trees. On the contrary, that I can’t avoid them suggests how many we kill, ostensibly to celebrate life and the birth of someone who promoted loving your neighbor as yourself. Hours after posting The last Christmas Pagan Trees of the Season?, which wasn’t my last[…] Keep reading →

I’ve already written a few posts this year wondering if I’ve seen the last discarded trees, but we cut down so many, it takes this long to discard them all. We could have left them standing. It’s almost April and people pay to chop down so many trees, I’ve seen them thrown out this month. I think I’ve seen the last for the season so I’ll post the last images[…] Keep reading →

I just posted The first warm day of the year means overflowing doof garbage, of course, which showed how Americans celebrate spring: polluting and depleting, funding the production of garbage, and driving themselves to obesity. We also celebrate winter by killing trees. I hope the picture below is the last Christmas Pagan tree of the season. It goes to show you how many trees we kill in our pagan rituals[…] Keep reading →

It’s March and people pay to chop down so many trees, I’ve seen them thrown out this month. I think I’ve seen the last for the season so I’ll post the last images of them. I’ll copy text from previous posts so people see I’m defending, not attacking, tradition. It’s sad how garbage-y they look. This long after Christmas, I think people have lost interest in connecting the trees with[…] Keep reading →

Here is a video showing a bunch of trees people bought to celebrate the birth of their lord and savior, in a tradition unrelated to that birth, borrowed from paganism. Instead of celebrating birth, they are actual death. Apparently people believe we have too many trees and forests. I love tradition. We don’t keep alive every tradition ever. People used to practice infanticide. Should we keep practicing it for tradition?[…] Keep reading →

Folks, I’m not looking for them. People are throwing so many trees before Christmas, what am I supposed to do, act like they aren’t there? Am I supposed to accept that we chop down trees just to put them in our homes for a few days, not even connected to the holiday they aren’t connected to? Doesn’t this one look beautiful, wrapped in disgusting plastic? What a way to honor[…] Keep reading →

I guess people think we have too many trees, or maybe they have too much money. I’m not looking for trees people throw away before Christmas, but I can’t miss them. I figure they’re like roaches: if you see one, there are probably ten others you don’t see. I saw these four last night: Sorry for the blur in the second one below. It was dark and cold.

I can’t believe how little value people place on trees. Each year I ask myself if I want to bother taking all those pictures of trees people throw away. Am I going to change culture this way? I doubt it. Then again, I’m not hurting anyone and I’m going to post daily anyway. Then I see another Christmas Pagan tree being thrown out well before Christmas. This one appears denuded.[…] Keep reading →

Readers who have followed my blog over a year know that for the past few years I’ve taken pictures of the trees people throw out on the street. Since history shows that the tradition that Americans associate with Christmas came from paganism, and I’m concerned people who complain about “wars” on Christmas or Christians, I call them Christmas Pagan trees. That way if someone quotes me about how we can[…] Keep reading →
