Goodbye, trees



Isn't it so sad and bittersweet to see all the Xmas trees in the garbage, in the gutter, with bags on their heads, etc., these days? Picture courtesy of Last Night's Garbage.

What a perfect answer it would be, then, don't you think, if the city were overrun by small hungry elephants to perform the clean up? Yes, the NYC sanitation department has a whole tree-recycling program already in place, and that's great, but come on...little elephants.

Note that New York City is now collecting trees for mulching.

Definitely not as cool as the elephant program, but better than nothing.

No wonder recycling became really successful in Germany. We've been using these baby elephants all along!
