A grassroots initiative to decrease car traffic in Barcelona, Spain is underway. Menos Coches en Barcelona (Fewer Cars in Barcelona) seeks to decrease the amount of car-caused “noise, stench, and danger.”
Barcelona currently has some streets in the Barri Gotic area that are car free. Menos Coches hopes to expand the car free zone, increase the use of public transportation, and help to build a sustainable future.
Tree-Nation supports the movement by hosting the group’s petition and offering to plant a tree for every 100 signatures. Once 100,000 people sign the petition, the group will present it to Mayor Jordi Hereu I Boher.
Tree-Nation is an environmental project that seeks to plant 8 million trees in Niger to fight the region’s desertification.
