Ich nehme mal an, bei den screens handelt es sich um Schutzabdeckungen, nicht etwa um Bildschirme.

Why are pine needles called pine tags?
Unfortunately, I don\'t have sufficient background in botany to even make much of a conjecture about pine tags. Nor have I ever heard the term, and I can find no information on it. I suspect that it is a regional term. It is difficult to tell from the context of your note, but if pine tags are pine needles which have fallen from their mother tree onto something else, then this might explain the term, as the clinging needles might look like `tags\' on the cedar.
