From BicyTaxi to lunar power, there were some pretty good green things happening in New York City in 2006; now Big Apple residents can help the city looking green. MulchFest (we mentioned it last year) provides New Yorkers an opportunity to bring their Christmas trees to designated sites where they can be mulched and spread. The event takes place next weekend, January 6 - 7 from 10:00am to 2:00pm, and participants are encouraged to bring bags to take advantage of the free mulch created from the spent trees. Locations are spread throughout all five boroughs; those marked as a "chipping" location on the NYC parks & recreation site will have mulch for the taking. All the info here. ::MulchFest via ::Apartment Therapy
