Please Support the Christmas Tree Campaign Recently I became aware that Bryant Gumbel,host of CBS" Early Show had made comments about sending to the chippers entire christmas trees complete with their lights,stand and decorations.
This will make it difficult or impossible to recycle this green waste.
Trees 4 Us asks visitors to email Bryant to make amends by supporting a forest action like the one I have included on this page.

Letter to Bryant Gumbel 
Bryant,
I have become aware that you made some careless comments about recycling Christmas Trees.
This disappoints me,perhaps you might like to improve your reputation
on this issue by pioneering a national adopt a tree project for the holidays that would see more trees planted and left in the ground.
The way I see the project working would be that trees would be adopted individually or as neighbourhood groups in a state forest,national forest and city parks,for decoration as a group activity.
On Christmas Day the adopters would bring their presents from their homes,to place under the tree for distribution to the recipients.
If weather does not permit an outdoor gathering,then a small permanent tree would be provided by the forest authority or city as a receipt for their sponsorship.
Alternatively a seedling could be purchased from the forests department to be planted on private properties and backyards.
There is greater joy in watching your own Christmas Tree growing with your family than killing a tree every year for Christmas.
