Reply to comment by tllnbks in Old Christmas trees could be saved from landfill to make renewable fuels.

Probably, but half of our recycling schemes area a net loss when it comes to CO2, and people still do it, because they get to feel good about themselves.

No-one wants to hear that controlled burning of paper/plastic may be better than shipping them across half the world to be treated with chemicals and then shipping it back...
