Mistletoe, Yule log, stuffing stockings with treats and gifts and bringing an evergreen inside to decorate in midwinter are pagan rituals that go back millennia to the Romans, Druids and ancient Saxons. Most of these customs have been recycled in meaning and practice into todays Christmas holiday.

Charlie Brown, Environmentalist

12/12/2011 - 7:01pm GMT

Remember the scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas where he picks out the saddest little tree in the lot? Everyone else had passed it over - had Charlie not picked it out it would have ended up in the bonfire or trash heap. Then with love and caring of his community of friends, it became a beautiful little symbol of peace on earth and renewal. Charlie Brown became an environmental hero, utilizing a tree that would have gone to waste and likely sparing a living one in the woods!

Recycle a Pizza Box? Here's how!

11/03/2011 - 1:22am GMT

Do you ever run into this dilemma: What to do with a left-over pizza box? Do you recycle it, or do you throw it away?

Well recently, Melissa got a 2 for 1 deal at her local pizzeria because she used a hundred points to redeem a coupon from the http://Greenopolis.com rewards bank! And then Melissa was left with some pizza boxes to deal with. She went online and found out that bizza boxes are really not recyclable if they are soiled with any pizza left-overs (like cheese, toppings, and oil).
