In Vauban, Germany, Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up their cars.

I'm much happier this way" said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two.

It always drowned out the occasional distant motor of the cars coming form wherever. People are trying to reduce the car usage in the United States as well. In the United States. the Enviromental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously. (Source 1) In America, recent studies shows that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Researchers think Americans don't want to drive anymore. The number of miles drivien un the United States got to its highest in 2005 and ever since than it number has decreased tremendously.

In conclusion, cars have a great use in this world but i think we would be better off without cars. In different countries there is a even or a holiday where it is illegal to use cars. It would be very efficent to have a day for no cars in the United States. It would show people the importance on walking and not to rely on their car to get them places.
