Explore the Alternatives: Leave the Car at Home for World Car Free Day
World Car Free Day (22 September) isn’t all about ditching your car for good, it’s about raising awareness of the positive impacts you could have on the environment by leaving your car at home a few times a month.
Explore the alternative transport options available to you, and think about how you could avoid your car for the day! If you find it easy to go without on the day, why not try avoiding your car more regularly (weekly/monthly) and take some steps towards helping the environment?
Ditching the car will help improve air quality and protect the health of everyone. It’s also a fantastic chance to discuss the importance of exercise with your children as well as the impact of cars on the environment.
