Amsterdam Authorities plan for every child to give to his parents… a tree. Will drop them off in city limits.

There are in the Dutch capital, this tradition – obtain from city hall a gift for the birth of the baby. This year the gift I decided to make the most environmentally friendly. Thus, the tree is just one of the options present.

Instead, the parents are entitled to choose the blanket from organic cotton and recycled plastic collected in the ocean. Do these blankets are going in Europe to minimize the adverse impact of transport on the environment. Previous gift – bath towel with hood and the inscription “I am Amsterdam” – the authorities considered harmful to the environment just due to the fact that it is produced in distant China.

in Addition to blankets or wood “all parents will also receive a birthday card from the mayor on the so-called live paper. This paper contains seeds, so you can bring her home flowers,” – said a member of the party of GroenLinks Turia Meliani. It is expected that new gifts will begin to issue the Amsterdam players since September.
