The summer season is not far away, when in addition to enjoying our holidays, we can also... get married. And what's a wedding without a white bridal gown and dozens of beautiful but, alas, ephemeral bouquets of flowers?
To spare themselves the regret of having to throw away all those flowers after just a week, the bride and groom can take advantage of a new initiative from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The WWF initiative is for future young families to ask their wedding guests to donate the money they plan to spend on a bouquet. The amount raised will be spent by the organisation to plant new forests.
Wedding party organizers must fill out a short form indicating the date of the event and the names of the newlyweds. Upon receiving the form, WWF will send them a special donation urn.
The money collected can be handed to a WWF representative in person or transferred to a bank account.
