World Carfree Day

World Carfree Day is an annual celebration of cities and public life, free from the noise, stress and pollution of cars. Each year on September 22, people around the world organize events of all sizes to showcase alternatives to the automobile. World Carfree Network invites organisations and individuals everywhere to join!

Every September 22, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don't have to accept our car-dominated society. 2009 should be no different.

As the climate heats up, World Carfree Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of to the automobile. So take the time, browse the links and resources provided, and join in on the celebrations!

If you want to get inspiration, just browse through the archive of World Carfree Day 2008 events or have a look at WCFD Event Reports 2008

Let == World Carfree Day 2009 == be a showcase for just how our cities might look like, feel like, and sound like without cars 365 days a year!
