Car
Free Day? If you've never heard
of it, well, it's an important international event
during which people are encouraged not to use their cars for a whole
day. In France, very few people have ever heard of Car Free Day...
In
France, most people only think about getting the car of their dreams,
in other words: a super expensive, super cool and absolutely
overrated polluting machine. Sure, it’s got all the cool gadgets
that make you feel like James Bond but, really, do you need it that
badly? Can't you use public transport instead?
“Of
course I need my car!” most people will say, but sometimes people
should think a little bit more about the world around them and less
about themselves...
If
everybody tried to stop using their car for just a day it could
change the world for more than a day because it would also make
people think more about a world without cars: less pollution, less
waste, less danger, less cost, less noise, less stress, less road
rage...
