Toyota of South Florida to Plant One Tree for Each Car Sold

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Toyota of South Florida announces its own contribution towards eco-friendly issues today. To help address the lack of trees which are diminishing in numbers, Toyota has announced that they will be planting one tree for each car sold last April.

For the record, Toyota of South Florida sold 310 cars meaning that they will be donating 310 trees to American Forests, the world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration. Now this eco-friendly initiative should be something that environmentalists will surely praise. We are all aware that trees have been dwindling in numbers due to illegal logging and chopping and hopefully this effort translates into something better for the environmental needs today.

Cars sold in April in honor of Earth Day included the Corolla, the Camry, the Yaris, the Matrix, the Solara, and the Scion XD which are all vehicles available at Toyota of South Florida that provide more than 30 highway miles per gallon.

Honest-1 Auto Car Goes Green by Supporting Tree Planting

Friday, February 27th, 2009

In a move that will probably make it one of the most eco-friendly auto repair and maintenance shops in Pittsburgh, Honest-1 Auto Care has pledged to planting 40,000 trees in one year.

In a long-term collaboration with American Forests, a leading nonprofit organization that plants trees for environmental restoration, Honest-1 Auto Care, with a location in Pittsburgh, will donate funds to plant one tree for every customer repair order completed at its 19 auto care locations across the nation during the next year.

Honest-1 Auto Care is currently the only auto repair franchise chain to enter into a year-long agreement of this magnitude with American Forests.
