I was just watching a discussion on the local news about the virtues of recycling, and I totally agree. It's an excellent habit to get into. I started to seriously recycle with the big bin and everything a couple of years ago and I've been amazed at how much stuff can be recycled. My recycle bin fills up much faster than my garbage bin. I also know that real Christmas trees can be recycled (ground up and used for mulch) but one man being interviewed said he has friends who keep their Christmas tree, and when the ice melts on their lake, put a weight on the tree and throw it in the lake where it becomes habitat for fish. Who knew?
Of course I practice the ultimate recycling. On New Year's Day I will take apart my not-so-natural Christmas tree and pack it away until next December. No fuss, no bother, and I don't have to haul it away anywhere so I guess I'm saving gas too. Wow, it just gets better and better.
