Shredding Christmas trees Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:32 pm  Shredding Christmas trees
 

Well,

It seems this refers to the fact that every year millions of Christmas trees are bought and after the Christmas season they have to be recycled. That’s why governments urge their consumers to have their Christmas trees shreded instead of just adding it to the landfill by throwing it out after Christmas.
