Christmas in Japan vol.4

Christmas Tree 2

  The global warming is getting advance in recent years.

Now COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference is holding to solve the problem in Copenhagen.

 We also have to concern about the problem seriously.

 So, I am introducing "ECO X'mas Trees" in Niigata city in this time.

- Petbottle Tree -

 These are X'mas trees made by about 10,000 petbottles(500 ML).

- How to make the Petbottle X'mas Trees -

Kindergartners and  pupils helped to make them.

The first, they separated the caps from the bottles.

Next, they painted and drew on the bottles.

Finally, they connected up the bottle and bottle.

These X'mas trees save energy to use LED lights.

The company recycle the bottles after this event.
