Dreaming Of A Green Holiday? : Green Your Christmas Tree:
Q: Why is this Christmas tree so happy?
Okay--it's probably already green, but here's a way to make that evergreen even greener: You can help the environment by recycling the brown-needled conifer after the holiday. Trees can be used to restore sand dunes, wetlands, and fish habitat. Turn your tree into wood chips or compost if you're landlocked. Earth 911 will help you find a recycling program in your area.
