		<description><![CDATA[OrganicGardening.com shares the facts about which is the truly greener option: a live Christmas tree or a fake one.<br /><br />&quot;The allure of an artificial Christmas tree is obvious: reusable, dependably lush and symmetrical, and best of all, mess-and maintenance-free.
