ABOUT WORLD CAR FREE DAY
According to Awareness Days.com, World Car Free Day dates back to the 1973 oil crisis. The holiday is celebrated around the globe and has evolved over the years. But the purpose has remained the same, promoting a healthier environment and reducing the number of cars on the streets.
Happy Trails!
