Recycling your Christmas tree is a simple way to do more than just buy a tree and throw it away without any sustainably conscious consideration. Obviously I'd prefer people to find other ways to celebrate the holiday without having to cut a tree down, but I don't want to be a grinch. The NYC sanitation department picks up trees curbside. Maybe next year you can come up with another way.
sort of a sad looking Urban Pine Tree forest, but it sure smells lovely
