Green Tip of the Week:
Recycle Your Tree, it is so easy!

There are about 30-35 million Holiday Trees sold every year in North America. For every tree harvested, up to 3 seedlings are planted in its place. Plastic trees are shipped all the way from China and use a lot of energy during transportation. Plus real trees do not have to end up in a landfill like plastic trees and can be recycled for these uses:

· Chipping (used for various things, from mulch to hiking trails)
· Beachfront erosion prevention and river delta sedimentation management
· Lake and river shoreline stabilization including fish habitat
