Let's see, a tower with no environmental impact...

For us hams, a "tower" is something that gets your antenna up higher, as far 
away from the ground as is practical; usually restricted by financial impact 
on your budget,  federal regulations relative to air travel, and basic 
mechanical/physical engineering (with the exception of a certain Nextel cell 
phone 
commercial).

For environmentalist, something having "no environmental impact" is the 
natural fauna, soil, rocks, lakes, rivers, blue sky, etc.

So, what is a naturally-occurring item that you can use to get your antennas 
off the ground? (drum roll, please...)

A TREE!
