Bengaluru Church builds 25-feet eco-friendly Christmas tree with recyclable materials

The Mar Thoma Syrian Church in Bengaluru has built a 25-foot-tall Christmas tree decorated with recyclable materials.

Continuing with its decade-old tradition of keeping Christmas eco-friendly, the Mar Thoma Syrian Church in Bengaluru has built a 25-foot-tall Christmas tree decorated with recyclable materials such as cartons, newspapers, cardboard boxes and aluminum foil. The members of the church believe that 'every object should be given a second chance' and the entire tree is covered with twinkling lights.

A report published in the Deccan Herald (DH) reveals that the church has managed to cut down the decoration costs by 50 per cent every year by using the tradition of using recyclable materials.
