Have a Car Free Day

September 22nd is "World Carfree Day". This is a day when people should try to make it through an entire day without using their automobiles. It is on a Saturday, so many people should not need to worry about getting to work. I am sure most people don't know about this day, and wouldn't care if they did. But for those of us who do, it gives us an opportunity to think about our options to driving a car - at least for one day. Maybe you won't go anywhere, maybe you'll just walk down the street to a neighborhood store or visit a neighbor. Maybe you will dust of the bike and go for a ride. Some might even give public transit a try, if it exists in your area.
It would be way cool if the entire world actually did go car free for one day. Just imagine...
