This Tuesday, the ecological mayor of the 4th arrondissement of Lyon posted a series of photos presenting the tree of his town hall. Ecology requires, it is composed of wooden sticks, pine cones and ends of branches.
And after a few messages of support and approvals, the tweet quickly turns sour. With nearly 2,000 replies and over 1,000 retweets, the post has gone viral to such an extent that the chosen one preferred to lock his Twitter account while waiting for the storm to pass.
“Bienvue at Absurdie”
In addition to its appearance, it is especially the use of pieces of wood that made the critics of the tree howl. “ Next time, put a poster of a real Christmas tree, it will pollute less and it will be much prettier “, Can we read in particular while another Internet user wonders:” How many pieces of dead trees did it take to make it? “. “It’s like replacing a prime rib with a minced steak Another indignantly.
The ugliest tree I have seen in 30 years.

At any time this tree needed more trees than a classic tree …
A potted tree planted in a park at the end of the holidays isn’t it more ecological?ps: I saw the same decorations at Botanic, we can hypothesize that the orange peels come from China

You will have to explain to me how a tree made of wood is more ecological than a tree made of wood.
Or the illustration of the ability of ecology to respond absurdly to problems that do not exist.
