Hello, and welcome to the Instructables community! This currently does not meet our criteria for an Instructable. A completed Instructable:

- details a finished project with instruction (not just links to instructions)
- has clear images that you took of your project (web-found clip-art is not acceptable)
- uses proper spelling and grammar
- contains appropriate cautions or safety considerations
- does not violate someone else's copyright
- does not violate the Instructables terms of service
- is typically written about something you are very passionate about and want to share.

If this is a comment, a question, a small tip, or something that cannot truly be a finish project, please post it as a forum topic. If you are looking to start a collaboration, post a topic in the forums. Look here for tips on writing a great Instructable.

Because Fake Christmas trees get put into land fill and real ones decompose or are used for fixing wildlife habitats.
