A Christmas tree made of about 10,000 recycled glass bottles, which weighs 1.5 tons, is on display in Champaign.
The Champaign News-Gazette reports a team of workers has been putting the final touches on the tree in downtown Champaign.
The project is being paid for with donations from local businesses. the recycled glass came from various places in the community.
A group of workers spent nearly two weeks building the tree by melting the glass. the tree will be on display until January 30. Jason Mack helped lead the team and call it a “work of love” that has prompted thousands of visitors.
