Cut down on car usage, not the trees, to keep the buses moving

Dublin is a city of trees. They shape the city, give light and shade, colour some of the busiest thoroughfares and add incredible atmosphere and charm to the city.

I have taken them for granted all my life, as I suspect many of us have. They have taken decades to grow, and now, in many parts of the city, they stand tall, like sentries guarding the entrances and transitions from one part to the other.
