Will you observe World Car-Free Day on Sept. 22?
Every year, on September 22, people around the world who hate traffic congestion and support environment protection, observe a little-known "celebration" called "World Car-Free Day." In very simple terms, the occasion calls for motorists to sacrifice car use just for a day and give everyone a chance to experience what it would be like to live without "noisy, dirty and space-eating" automobiles. Walking, biking or taking public transportation is recommended on this day.
Advocates claim that, on this special date, there are car-free celebrations in 1,650 cities in 52 countries around the world. We just don't know if the Philippines is one of these countries.
