The grand prize winner for this year’s contest goes to the Port of San Diego.  We received a wonderful email complete with pictures and a full account of how the tree was decorated – see the email here:

“Attached are photos of our adopted Christmas Tree, fully dECOrated!! We hosted our own contest here at the Port in order to decorate the tree. We asked all employees to hang ornaments they made themselves from re-purposed or recycled materials. They got bonus points it the ornaments could be recycled after the holidays. We received nearly 30 submissions, with ornaments made from things such as aluminum cans, paper from the recycle bin, old bike sprockets, corks, etc. Photos of a few examples are also attached. The lights on the tree are LED lights, and the angel topper is made also by hand from materials found at home and incorporates the LED lights.

Our adopted tree really inspired a tremendous amount of environmental awareness and opportunity for education this holiday season, in addition to tons of cheer!

Thank you,
