The lower chamber of Congress approved the Green Measures Act on the third and final reading.
The bill aims to require tree planting for those who will construct a building. Under the proposed law, applicants for a building permit will be required to submit a tree planting plan aside from the other needed documents.
Under the Green Measures Act, a tree must be planted for every 500 square meters of commercial space and one tree for every 250 sq. m. for housing and development projects. – PTV News
