Eco activists tied people to trees on Sunday to mark the official start of the Green Bulgaria party campaign against the cutting down of the country's forests.

In addition, the eco activists tied posters on the trees on major Sofia boulevards, urging the society to save Bulgaria's forests.

The campaign goes under the motto "Leave the trees alone" and is aimed also to raise awareness of the pollution of the country. The campaign is part of the party's initiative "Apathy kills", which has to inform the society for the crimes against nature.

The campaign symbolizes the natural connection of the people with trees, which are the lung of our planet and it was provoked by the new Sofia urban development plan.

"No human being will give its lung, which is a vitally important organ in the name of another hotel," activists say.
