So, it actually wasn't green. It was definitely white. But conceptually, it was "green" - as in renewable resources. Almost the entire thing is recyclable. The paper shroud was made from recycled bleached office paper, the base and support is all made of recyclable materials as well, and the light source is low-voltage fluorescent.

Assembly consisted of a paper and hot-glue shroud, again, hot-glued to a support structure of fishing line attached to a steel-wire circular base. The lighting and electrical was just zip-tied to the wooden support and base.

The idea, of course, is to make a new design for the holiday tree each year. Well see how it goes in 2007. This one will be tough to beat.
