Car Free Day is celebrated globally on the 22nd of September each year which encourages humans to leave alone their cars for one day. Numerous organized events take place in cities and streets which aim to promote cycling, walking and improvement of mass transit. Car free day is especially designed for motorists to carefully spend one day without their cars and it is a showcase for how cities, towns and streets would look, sound and feel like without cars the whole year. World Car Free Day is a celebration and a perfect time to cool off the planet. Climate change, global warming and greenhouse effect are causing major damage to the planet and events as such are a great way to increase awareness and make people adopt the change for a single day. A whole day makes a difference in the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases that are released and the benefit goes directly to the people and the environment in which they live in. Those who avoid using their cars on this day show how much they care for their environment and even that one journey without cars can help to make a big difference. The whole idea of organizing car free day annually is to decrease the amount of pollution, waste, noise, traffic congestion, delayed journeys and to increase public awareness.
