Is this a good way to recycle Christmas trees?

Not at all, you should maybe give them water

I say, mulch the trees for landscaping.

fish hatchery

It's also a good place for liberal politicians.

Not just no, but HELL NO! This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Trout don't eat moss or algae. Trout and Bass eat the bugs that are in moss and algae. They also eat each other. Lake Powell would fine the crap out of anyone dumping Christmas trees, or anything else in their lake. The fish in these lakes are doing just fine without garbage being dumped there by idiot environmentalists!

as good as any, I'd say.

Certainly more healthy than plastic water bottles!

Wow, what has been known and used by fishermen, hunters and people living by the sea and oceans for hundreds of years has not been officially validated.
What took them so long?
Oh, right, they are a branch of the government.
Think of how much money they could have saved if they would have spoken to one hunter, one fisherman and someone who lives on a sandy beach where erosion is a problem?

Sounds like a pretty good way to recycle them to me.

As long as no other unseen or unknown environmental damage is being created.

I'm not a fisherman but if they help restore the ecosystem man destroyed then I'm all for it.

Been doing in texas for years.

This is great to see.

Very

The whole killing of trees for a month of enjoyment and celebrating a creator, is sickening .

as long as the trees are free of any decor

For years Christmas trees have been used along the gulf coast to help restore sand dunes. Trees placed in lakes and in other water ways provide erosion protection and habitat for aquatic life like fish.

This has always been a very good way to foster fish population growth.

It seems very efficient. It should be adopted worldwide.

NO mainly because its not an XMAS tree its a CHRISTmas tree tied to the celebration of JESUS CHRISTS Birth. If You don't like Christian celebrations move somewhere that does not practice them. A fool saith in his Heart there is no God.

I am quite positive that Jesus didn't say "hey, go grow a tree, and then cut it down, and put it on display in your living room at the wrong time of the year, to celebrate my existence".

I feel safe in calling Xmas when it has nothing to do with Christ at all.

"Xmas" Means "Christmas"

"X" from the letter for "Christ" in Greek

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Besides, this is hardly the point of the topic.

@Ronzo,
Sorry my friend, but you evidently haven't studied your Christian history very much. Xmas is NOT a derogatory term aimed to harm Christians. The letter that, in Greek, conforms most closely is written as an X. The first name of Christ begins with that Greek letter, so for 2,000+ years that X has stood for Christ.
The reason for this goes back to the Jewish faith (of which the most famous Jew of all time was Jesus) where the name of The Lord not only shouldn't be taken in vain, but shouldn't even be written down. Thus the X standing for Christ.
Christians at the time were persecuted not only by the Jews, but by the followers of all faiths in the Middle East. Talking with someone who might be a Christian was confirmed by one person drawing an arc in the dirt in front of him and the other drawing an arc in front of himself starting it the point from which the first person started. This arc crossed at what would be the tail and overlapped, making a crude outline of a fish (some historians believe this is in recognition of Jesus' feeding of the crowds with the fish). Where the tail crosses, an X is formed, signifying that both parties were Christian and cold speak freely of their religion.

Sure, why not? Re-purposing the used trees, whatever ways people have found, is better than just throwing them into the landfills! I would imagine it would make great cover for young fish to be raised in!

Seems better than burning them or leaving them to rot.

The fish can start their own restaurant and call it Fir and Fins.

I don't see how it can cause any harm.

Why not it's good recycling! (:

Anything that promotes fishing.

Maybe.
I recall that used x-mas trees create homes and food for fish?!

Great idea, we put our in the woods for critters, great coverage birds, rabbits, etc...

Ya see I've heard of that too.

awesome idea!

We use them down here to form sand dunes,,,

They do this at a lot of lakes. It makes for good bedding for them. There is no reason for anyone to vote no. Not one.

not only good for the ecosystem, but elephants love the tasty Christmas trees according to NBC news, the Berlin Zoo, Germany, feed the elephants only with unsold Christmas trees.

Of course it is! Nothing bad about this.

ANYTHING GOOD FOR THE ECOSYSTEM...
