Chinese designers decided to go all out this year by constructing a Christmas tree out of 1,000 FULL Heineken beer bottles.  Yeah, that’s a lot of beer right there, just waiting to get toppled over and wasted.  Though the bright green hue of the large stature is quite impressive, the designers could have been a bit more eco-friendly if they were to use the limitless number of empty beer bottles at the ready.  Anyway, check out some close-up shots in more detail in the gallery below.  The “tree” is located in Shanghai, China.
