I just got to do a story about a fun and green holiday topic. There's an organization in San Francisco that will rent families a living tree for the holidays. For $90, Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF) will deliver a living tree to your house and then pick it up after the holidays. You just have to water it and decorate it for about a month. Once it's back in the hands of FUF, they'll grow it a little bigger in their nursery and then plant it somewhere on the streets of an under served neighborhood in San Francisco.There's more info here:

The folks at FUF says it's a program that's unique to SF right now, but there's lots of room for other cities to tackle a program like this. And some could probably offer the more traditional looking Christmas trees in their program.
