Newlyweds on Indonesia's Java Island still practice a centuries-old tradition: Planting trees during the wedding ceremony. The government is encouraging the ritual as a reforestation project. According to a CNN story, newly married couples must plant 10 trees under the program. The kicker: They must plant 50 trees if they divorce. What if America adopted this program? With a divorce rate around 50 percent, we could plug up the hole in the ozone layer and make millionaires out of a few tree growers.
