After the symbolic ceremony, involving the placing of fruit offerings at the base of the tree, the environmental activist called for rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces to plant trees instead of starting war.

The actor also called for Colombians to care more their green surroundings and promised to keep spreading the message in other Latin America countries.

Torres married his first tree bride in Argentina in 2013.
