EU Del to Switzerland & Liechtenstein joins #ForOurPlanet campaign by planting and adopting a tree in Bernese open-air bath

On Tuesday 29 November, EU Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein Petros Mavromichalis planted an ash in Berne’s most famous public open-air bath “Marzili”. The EU-Delegation took over a godparenthood for the young tree, meaning it comes up for its care and maintenance for the next 20 years.

A plaque next to the tree documents the sponsorship as well as the Delegation’s commitment for a greener Bern in a greener Europe.

The action takes place both as part of the EU’s global #ForOurPlanet campaign as well as of Bern’s Greening Embassies Network, an initiative of like-minded embassies in Bern aiming at reducing the diplomatic community’s environmental footprint and contributing to a green and liveable city. Small changes can make a big difference!
