Kim Kardashian faced criticism on Reddit after sharing a photo of a hallway in her home adorned with two dozen evergreen trees. While she claimed the trees were real and “smell so amazing,” Reddit users questioned the sustainability of the display, particularly if the trees were flocked (coated with a mixture of paper, cornstarch, and boron to resemble snow).
Some criticized the use of flocked trees, citing concerns about disposal and environmental impact. The discussion also delved into the environmental considerations of real versus fake trees, with emphasis on the sustainability of real trees and the potential environmental issues associated with manufacturing and disposing of artificial trees, especially those made with lead. Kardashian’s reputation and the perceived extravagance of the display contributed to the criticism, with users suggesting alternative, more environmentally friendly decorations.
