Walk on By

Release Date: Tuesday, September 2nd 2008

What would happen if people stayed out of cars for a day? DC residents will find out during a worldwide celebration to reduce their carbon footprint on International Car Free Day, September 22. Many people in the metropolitan Washington area will observe Car Free Day to help promote alternatives to car dependence and reduce environmental impacts. You can take the Car Free Challenge by pledging to take public transit, ride a bike, go “car lite”—by carpooling or vanpooling—or simply walk. To make your pledge for Car Free Day 2008, visit www.carfreemetrodc.com.
