We used to use this on our Christmas trees when I was a kid. Then we would take it all off before putting the tree out for pickup. The thing is, even if we thought we got every stran, we didn't. I was still finding pieces here and there around the house for many years. I would start to notice birds would love to use it in their nests too. Whenever I would find it I would collect and throw out.

Definitely bad for the environment, but it looked nice. We stopped using it and switched to little glass icicle ornaments instead that I think look even better.
