Wednesday, 10 October 2007 / Bucharest - Romania

Campaign in Romania “Don’t cut the trees as (if you were all alone, a savage) in the forest” in order to raise awareness on the massive cutting of trees in Romania. As part of the project “Trees are also crying” banners are put on the trees in Bucharest city centre. The banners are clothes put around the trees (black as for a funeral) as if the trees are mourning for their relatives from different parts of Romania which are no longer alive because there are cut down!


Picture on the left: We are complaining about the extinct of our relatives from Harghita.
Picture on the right: Mourn for the disappearing of our friends from Carpati Mountains.

Find out more in the campaign’s blog (in Romanian) at http://padureaeinpom.wordpress.com/. This article would never be posted without the help of my Romanian friend Ana-Maria Saracu, who translated the messages on the trees from Romanian to English and provided me with the story of the campaign and the blog of it. Thank you very much Ana – Maria!
