Recycle Those Greens

If you can't forgo the live Christmas tree this season in favor of a plastic one, then make sure to at least recycle it after the big day is come and gone. If you live:
      • In a city, check your local government website as many park departments collect the trees, chip them and then offer free mulch to residents in the spring.
      • If you live in a coastal area, many preservation groups use the trees to help prevent further erosion on beaches.
      • Near a lake, some municipalities use trees to help rebuild fish habitat.
      • Finally, if you are highly motivated and have your own garden, chop single branches off your tree and cover your flower beds.
