We planted trees

The save the trees campaign continues with people from Bucharest volunteering to plant trees in one of the city's neighbourhoods. Unfortunately the campaign blog in only in English. But you can get the whole idea by simply looking at the posters and images from the awareness campaign. They say that "Abusive deforrestation is criminal", "The trees in the city are mourning for their dissapeared brothers in the Romanian forrests" and that basically what we are losing is life.

The first planting trees event happened the last Sunday and there were quite a lot people there (including local vips) volunteering to plant a tree. Here are some pictures taken by the organisers (The Media Monitoring Agency in Bucharest).

And here are some pictures we made at the big event. We all felt great and planted quite a few trees. So we are looking for the next occasion to plant more trees in Bucharest.

Even Tori helped with the trees. Until she met her friend Frida (the golden labrador).

'f cors. And also the one and only Elena Basescu (aka fata aia mik a lu' Base)who got into politics and has an image to build ... so she plated a few trees all dressed up in Burberry :). And Mr. Cristian Boureanu (Democrat Party) and his model wife Valentina Pelinel (actually doing a good job and being less stiff than I had expected). And then again Mr. Chiliman the sector 1 mayor, also for campaign reasons. and many others...after all, it was a public event, it got on TV and into the citizens hearts. we planted trees in their front yards.
