Date and time
07:00 - 19:00September 22 has been named World Car-Free Day. A car-free day is such an impressive gesture – regardless of whether it has a big impact on emissions, symbolically it demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability, and is a great way to energize the conversation about emissions reduction in our community.
Besides trying to not use a car please spread the word. Any further ideas welcome for that day. Please sign up in support.

Could it be a day when neighbours have a street party? Or a day when a family cycles together in a local park or cycle way or just go for a walk? A day when we reflect on how we can slow down our lives. Engage as a community? A day when we take a walk in the countryside? A day when a parent walks a child to school. Spend some time chatting to someone on the street. Wash our electric car. Read a book, binge on a box set. A duvet day! Take a day off of work. Catch a bus or a train. Could we close down a couple of streets and let our kids cycle freely? Breath some fresh air. Walk to a local shop. Walk to work. Plant some flowers or trees. Maybe people would gain some different perspective on how we live our lives, use our time and affect our environment.

Part of my job (one of them:)) was to do street engagement for Low Traffic Neighbourhoods to encourage more active travel and reduce short car journeys. That’s how I spent Car-Free Day:)
That’s great feedback Julia thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to see the in forced car free days we have now with the fuel shortage. Anyone else have anything to share for the report?
