Many people around the world agree that their car is a necessity. They wouldn't be able to zip to their destination in a timely manner without it. Around the world, an estimated 1.4 billion vehicles travel the roads. At one time, the United States had the most car owners at one time.. Now China is the winner of the award. Volkswagen and Toyota produce more cars than other firms than other firms.
Cars are a convenient way to get around. However, automobiles pollute the climate. Scientists point to automobiles as contributing to global warming in addition to air pollution.
Car Free Day aims to see what life would be like without cars on the road. Rather than walking or biking, motorists are encouraged to walk or bike instead. For those who have to travel long distances, the day encourages the use of mass transit. It's also a day for cities to use their highways in different ways. For example, horses are ridden on the streets in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for example.
