Speed English: Car Free Day

Today the group of Gabfest Club’s  members observed the international “Car Free Day”. In pairs or small groups the group discussed the issues of impact the cars have on the environment.
Participant number – 29 persons.

World Car Free Day, which is celebrated on September 22, encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. According to The Washington Post, the event "promotes improvement of mass transit, cycling and walking, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance". Studies showed that for short trips in cities, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car.
