On Wednesday, thousands of Macedonians planted six million trees to reforest their country. Buses took people, including 1000 soldiers, to planting sites.  The tree planting project was organized by opera singer Boris Trajanov, “If Macedonia, a country of two million people, can plant six million trees, we can only imagine how many trees can be planted in other, bigger countries.”
