UNLV Experts In The News
When the smell of pine begins to fade this holiday season, UNLV has an easy solution for Southern Nevadans. Tara Pike, UNLV’s sustainability coordinator, said the university and its partners will be ready to collect Christmas trees as soon as Friday through Jan. 15.
Residents can recycle their Christmas trees for free starting Friday at more than 30 drop-off locations throughout the valley. The Southern Nevada Christmas Tree Recycling Committee will accept trees through Jan. 15. The recycled trees will be chipped into mulch for use in school gardens and parks across the community. The program, a partnership of UNLV, community agencies and local businesses, has operated for three decades.
As people settle in to watch holiday movies this week, a question arises: What makes a Christmas movie? Not every film with Christmas in it qualifies, says Adam Paul, an assistant professor of film at UNLV. True Christmas movies share essential elements: hope, family, nostalgia, magic, redemption and often romance.
