1/5/11: Waste Not

As I took the Christmas ornaments off of the tree this evening, I began wondering how many people cared whether or not their Christmas tree would be disposed of in an ecologically friendly manner. Fortunately, a fellow Entrepreneur and "greenie" Alma Nazario posted information on her Facebook page that I thought would be helpful for those who needed the information:
