Some level of advertising is surely okay, right?

If I open a bakery and put a sign out front that says "Baked good for sale!" I don't think anyone would complain but that IS advertising.

This begs the question: What level of advertising is okay?

I've been using Firefox for over a decade now and can count the number of times I've had an issue on one hand. And those were some completely obscure sites I had to use once for some very specific purpose. This really isn't an issue anymore.

Just went back through the episode and they some artificial trees may have less environmental impact if used for at least 5 years. However, some other things to consider, first where do you think the plastics in the artificial tree come from? That's right, PETROLEUM! Also, artificial trees will end up in a landfill once they reach their end of life while a real tree is 100% biodegradable. Lastly, most artificial trees come from oversees (mostly China) whereas getting a live tree is a great way of supporting local businesses. Of course now that you have an artificial tree you're better off using that as long as possible to minimize the environmental impact.
