The Mar Thoma Church in Bengaluru, for the eighth year in succession, has created decorations using eco friendly and recycled material.
According to Daniel Thomas of Mar Thoma Church, “This year we have used cloth scraps collected from generous tailors and garment manufacturers to create Christmas wreaths and a 30 feet tall Christmas tree.”
The church has invited church goers and public to view Bangalore’s tallest Recycled Christmas Tree and decorations.
The church in 2008 we used plastic bottles and old tyres, in 2009 old video tapes and plastic bags were converted into decorations.
In 2010 we used coconut leaves, dry vegetables and grasses and in 2011 it was jacquard loom cards. In 2012 it was a Christmas tree made with newspapers.
In 2013 we incorporated used plastic covers and in 2014 over 500 soft drink bottles made a grand green tree.
