As opposed to going into the woods and robbing a tree of its precious life, I decided to create a fully recycled Christmas Tree. The tree consist of about 250 green 20 ounce soda bottles, each one individually lit.

Signing UpStep 1: Gathering of Ye Supplies
Well, to find and obtain the nearly 300 bottles needed for this project I set out on a mighty quest. All across the lands of Albuquerque, people where set in a Grinch like set of mind. No one was willing to help me obtain this much needed resource. The City of Albuquerque saw these bottles as a valuable resource and was unwilling to sell them to me. Luckily I was referred to a friendly chap, Gary, who owns Master Fibers.
I spent two mornings rummaging through Gary's sticky crates full of bottles waiting to be recycled in order to gather enough bottles which he sold at a vary reasonable price.
Other items I gathered where
-Lots of glue sticks
-an old rusted milk crate
-a couple paper grocery bags
-old Christmas lights
-a couple larger sour cream buckets
-a partridge in a pear tree

The most important thing here is what the meaning and purpose
of the Tree is. You could have made it out of Toilet paper and
Clothes hangers it's what the true meaning of the work is to you.
Congrats and keep plugging, another Tree breathes easier because
of you, and so do we. Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards Every Living
Thing!
Anyway, I have asked all of my friends and neighbors to give me their old plastic X-mass trees and have combined them to make a really nice big one " we have 9 foot ceilings in our home" a small one for a table and several wreaths and garlands.." having had worked in display helps" it looks like Santa's workshop in our house around X-mass...
Anyway... great ideal!
