No Word On Whether Same Sex Couples Have to Plant Trees
It seems that at least one area within Indonesia is now requiring couples to plant trees as a condition of receiving a marriage license. Couples in Gorontalo, a rugged mountainous province on Sulawesi island, are being required to plant 10 seedlings supplied by the local government, according to the religious affairs office.
The program, which critics say is largely symbolic, is part of a nationwide “re-greening” initiative launched by President Yudhoyono at the Bali Conference last November when million of trees were planted across the country. Deforestation has long been a major problem in the country, the result of illegal logging, mining, new oil palm plantations, and slash-and-burn land clearing.
