World Car-Free Day
World Car-Free Day is celebrated annually on September 22nd. The event encourages people to give up their cars for a day and explore alternative modes of transportation, such as walking, cycling, or using public transit. The goal is to raise awareness about the environmental impact of car usage and promote sustainable urban living.
Cities around the world participate by closing certain streets to vehicles, allowing residents to enjoy a cleaner and quieter environment. This initiative aims to reduce air pollution, decrease traffic congestion, and inspire communities to consider long-term changes in their transportation habits, contributing to a healthier planet.
