Help comes in many forms. Perhaps you should consider that there are
other solutions than having the tree removed. If the tree goes, you get
a cleaner car, but the neighbourhood loses out by losing its green
components. The point being that there are other people involved, and
who have an interest in the tree than you and your car. I, for one,
wouldn't want a neighbour who's happy to lose a tree to keep his car from
looking spotty. Why don't you get a car cover? or get a garage if it
means that much to you.
We lost enough trees from our towns when councils panicked over
subsidence, and then again when cable companies cut through roots to
bring in multi-channel TV. As IP suggests, the last thing we need is
another reason to lose greenery from urban areas.
