Marie Cohuet
Co-president of "Les Amis de la Terre France"
The rapprochement with Friends of the Earth happened very naturally and almost obviously.
It was essential for me to find an organization that highlights the importance of the link between the ecological and social causes. It turns out that this is the very essence of this association.

Example :
Marco decides to become a sponsor by contributing 50 cents per 100km.
Example :
In 8 months, Mathiou has covered 3000km.
He has traveled 100km 30 times.
Example :
Marco, who had decided to sponsor 50 cents per 100km, must therefore make a donation of €15 ( 50 cents x 30 ).
