Lausanne’s ecological cemetery
The Bois-de-Vaux cemetery in Lausanne is one of the biggest in French-speaking Switzerland. It comprises close to 24,000 graves – and everything that grows and blossoms there is cared for using wholly environmentally-friendly methods. The cemetery gardeners have not used chemicals for four years. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
