Americans purchase 25-30 million live Christmas Trees every year? This holiday tradition makes for great family memories however, once Christmas has passed these trees most often end up in local landfills. Unfortunately, this is the most harmful way to dispose of live trees. Once in the landfill, they spend long periods of time decomposing and releasing methane, a harmful greenhouse gas, into the environment. Atlas Organics is committed to empowering and educating communities around the country on the importance of finding sustainable ways to recycle your Christmas tree this year!
