In an effort to support the government’s initiatives towards reforestation, Philippine senator Manuel “Lito” Lapid has created a bill that will see companies engaged in the sale of motor vehicles needing to plant at least 10 trees for every sale.

Senate Bill 1938 mandates that the trees be planted within six months following the sale, which would be reflected in the receipt given to the buyer.

“Motor vehicles,” in the context of the bill, pertain to any four-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying passengers, such as but not limited to, Asian Utility Vehicles (AUVs), convertibles, coupes, pickups, sedans, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), station wagons, and vans.
