现在是十一月,圣诞节仅剩一个多月,到那时整个一个月都将充满节日气氛。每个人都喜欢圣诞节,这是与家人和朋友团聚、举行团圆饭、去商场购物、在家装饰圣诞树、交换圣诞礼物等等的好时机。
节日结束后,人们都应该收拾好圣诞树,也会退休。我想知道你是否曾经考虑过这个问题:圣诞节之后,那些圣诞树会去哪里?

大多数天然圣诞树由冷杉制成。过去,野生树木常被砍伐用作圣诞树,但如今,为了保护环境,通常使用栽培的经济林。小树长到合适的大小大约需要8到12年。有些企业会挖出树根,将其移植到花坛等地方,用于圣诞装饰。但挖掘带来的根部损失和环境变化可能对树木的健康非常不利;当气候变化时,如果没有充分保护,大树的存活率会很低。
另一种方式是直接砍倒树木,将其制成一次性用品。节日过后,处理圣诞树的方式更环保:例如在瑞典,政府有一个专门的网站告诉人们如何分类垃圾。圣诞树属于“园林垃圾”,放入收集区后,可以用木材粉碎机粉碎,制成园艺用木屑。
In the United States, there is also a Christmas tree recycling program where residents bring their Christmas trees to a designated site where wood shredders and wood chipping services are provided. These Christmas tree chips are used in parks, ball fields and communities, and people can take them home for free for gardening. The wood chips can be used to keep plant roots warm in the winter and sprinkled on the soil to retain water. This recycling method is effective and environmentally friendly and helps residents solve their annual Christmas tree problem.
