I’ve just found out it’s International Car Free Day this Saturday – what a great idea. I’m as guilty as everyone else in taking the easy option and getting in the car. It’s only when initiatives like this come along that it makes us think there may be other options to getting around.
The European Mobility Week is trying to encourage us all to get involved; it runs from 16th to the 22nd September. 55 cities and towns across the UK are participating this year. It’s a pity there has not been more coverage in the UK media, as I’m sure congestion free day would be great news for everyone, as a step to changing our car dependency.
