And why all year you need to keep a twig or a handful of needles at home.
Have you already taken your Christmas tree to the trash can? In vain. It turns out that sending the tree to the trash can is a bad omen. Popular rumor says: so you will lose your well-being and prosperity in the house. Throwing the forest beauty from the balcony or from the window is even worse. Rumor has it that after such barbarism, family life will go wrong. What is the right thing to do with the tree?
According to signs, it must be cut into several parts and burned. In this case, it is imperative to leave a small twig or a few needles if the tree is almost completely crumbled. Such “amulet” will bring you good luck all year round.
Well, for those who are sorry to burn a felled natural Christmas tree, which has delighted the eyes of households for almost three weeks, activists of the “There is no more garbage” movement for the third time in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region will hold a winter environmental campaign “Fir-trees, sticks, five bison.” New Year’s trees will be accepted on January 22 from 12:00 to 14:00 in several districts of the city at once.
Not only trees are suitable, but also other conifers. For example, pine, fir, thuja and even juniper. “You can bring not a tree, but branches. The main thing is that they are without tinsel and “rain” or artificial snow spraying, – says one of the organizers of the action Angela Piaget. “If an animal accidentally eats a piece of tinsel, that’s not good.”
If the tree has lost its “presentation”, do not be discouraged. You can still take part in the action. “If the tree is no longer good at all, pack it up and temporarily place it on the balcony or in the pantry. By the way, trees are brought to us in a different state. Once, very organized people brought the trunk separately, the branches separately and the needles in the bag separately. “
All collected trees will be sent for processing. They will be crushed using a special crusher, and the resulting chips will go to bedding and feeding the animals. This year, the foxes Alisa and Rika, as well as bears, wolves, lynxes, polar foxes and other inhabitants of the Veles Russian Quarantine Center for Wild Animals will receive it. And also – the Arab mare Mona del Boca and the handsome horse Idol from the Ruthenia Children’s Equestrian Academy and the mongrels Lika and Laki from the Polyanka shelter. The inhabitants of the Lost Animal Assistance Center will also be delighted with the coniferous gift.
But bison will not be brought to Toksovo chips. The director of the Vsevolozhsk forestry, Anatoly Petrov, assured that bison have everything they need for good nutrition: solid feed, fresh hay, vitamins, as well as gifts from visitors – apples, carrots, cabbage. “The bison eat so well that they even put on weight. They look languid and at times boring, ”Anatoly Petrov smiled.
