Car-Free Day |
|---|
|
Car-Free Day will lead to a reduction of carbon emissions. Car-Free Day, set to take place on February 19. As the city grows, the number of cars also increases and brings about a number of effects related to health, environment and society. As a society, we are all responsible for encouraging others to use other modes of transport. More than 7,000 cars are expected to be off Dubai?s roads, leading to a reduction of almost 20 tonnes of carbon emissions. Car Free Day is an initiative of Dubai Municipality aimed at contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and spreading awareness about global warming and how to control it. The residents should take advantage of public transport, including the Metro, to reduce traffic and protect the environment. Having a Car-Free Day is not only about residents ditching their cars for one day, but a day dedicated to encourage others to follow suit. Source:gulf news |

Thanks Smriti.
Raunak events like these are organised to create awareness as many people are still unaware of carbon footprint and these events help ignorant people to understand to some extent the importance.
