LONDON, Dec 3 — The Lord Mayor of the City of London has installed a different kind of Christmas tree on his balcony to raise awareness of the over-consumption typically associated with the end-of-year celebrations. In fact, this particular festive tree is made entirely from trash collected in the city.
Have you ever wondered how much waste your city produces during the holiday season? As well as pondering the question, London's Lord Mayor Vincent Keaveny went one step further by building a Christmas tree made entirely from trash collected in the city. Far from being disgusting or messy, the whole thing is meticulously held together by a giant mesh structure, creating a colourful sculpture. But up close, there is no doubt — this particular tree is adorned with trash rather than the usual baubles and garlands. From plastic bottles to cans, used sunglasses, pieces of paper, sim cards and phone cables, each section is composed of a specific type of garbage.
