WORLD CARFREE DAY-2013
Every year on or around 22 September, people from around the world get together in the streets,
intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don't have
to accept our car-dominated society.But we do not want just one day of
celebration and then a return to "normal" life. When people get out
of their cars, they should stay out of their cars. It is up to us, it is up to
our cities, and our governments to help create permanent change to benefit
pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who do not drive cars.Let World Carfree
Day be a showcase for just how our cities might look like, feel like, and sound
like without cars…365 days a year.
As the climate heats up,
World Carfree Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put
it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and
public transport, instead of to the automobile.So take the time, browse the
links and resources provided, and join in on the celebrations!
