No couple from Bucharest (Romania) will be allowed to get married without planting a tree sapling. This law will apply also to residents of Bucharest who wish to register their cars.
A new project from the Municipal Council of Bucharest plans a new way to make the Capital of Romania: all those who desire to get married or to register a car will have to plant a tree. “The City Hall will not officiate the marriage of the couple until it doesn’t prove that it has planted a tree. The same is the case with those who wish to register a car. The Council will designate the areas where trees will be planted. Those who want to get married or register a car will go and plant the tree in the designated areas accompanied by an employee from green spaces than the tree will be photographed and a birth certificate with the name of the tree will be issued to the “parent’s†nameâ€, stated Robert Ionescu, vice mayor of the Capital.
According to him, the Municipal Council will designate the type of the trees that can be planted. “It won’t be planted just any type of tree, we will pick those that are resistant and beautiful from the architectural point of viewâ€, said the vice mayor. The plan for the increase of the green space will be carried out with the help of the City Hall and Registration Bureau from the Prefecture of the Capital, according to the vice mayor.
“We will make collaboration protocols with whose from the Registration Bureauâ€, stated Ionescu. Asked whether they agree with this initiative, the Police spokesman stated:†Seeing the number of the cars that register in Bucharest, the Capital will have no more spaces without trees in a few yearsâ€.
