Car Free Day is an annual event organized in different places in different ways, but with the common goal of taking a fair number of cars off the streets of a city or some target area or neighborhood for all or part of a day, in order to give the people who live and work there a chance to consider how their city might look and work with a lot fewer cars. This year's event will take place on September 22. Many nations all over the world will participate.

If my memory serves me right, this Car Free Day was also proposed here in the Metro in the mid or late 1990's. But it never materialized. Sayang. It's our chance to help minimize our carbon footprint.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, sana may car free day tayo dito sa Metro once a month. Grabe na kasi ang air pollution + walang political will ang mga opisyal natin. A deadly combination.
