World Carfree Day
I realise this event is of little interest to most people in our car
dominated UK, or even an annoyance perhaps, but we do still have a few of these events going on here to which cyclists are pleased to attend and it is also a world wide event for those lurking on this NG from abroad. "Dear carfree campaigners, World Carfree Day is just around the corner and we need your help to publicise all the events going on across the world! Check out our WCD web pages and submit your town's event in our 2010 wiki, or if you prefer simply send the details to me or Markus Heller by e-mail. We plan to have a bigger, easier-to-use wiki system for next year... If you are interested in organising a PARK(ing) Day event or finding one near you, please visit http://parkingday.org/parking-day-map/ for more info. Thanks and happy CFD!" The vital dates: PARK(ing) Day: 17 September. World Carfree Day: 22 September. http://www.worldcarfree.net/wcfd/ -- .

Then we wouldn't have to put up with this drivel. |

A good first step would be to halve car use which would then halve all the problems it causes. How would you go about doing that, please give us your master plan. Several ways. Firstly, stop trying to make motoring look so attractive when it is not, particularly in adverts and the motoring press. Secondly, make cars carry a prominent health warning similar to cigarettes. Thirdly, introduce road pricing more widely to make motoring less competitive with public transport and more dependent on distance traveled. Fifthly, provide fewer car parking spaces, particularly the free 24/7 street garaging of cars. Sixthly, make driving tests and medical tests more difficult and renewable yearly. That should about do it. -- . World Carfree Network. http://www.worldcarfree.net/ Help for your car-addicted friends in the U.K. |
