"People are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders," said Enrigue Riera in excerpt 3: Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota. Limiting car usuage is opening doors to breathing in fresh air rather than filling it with toxins from thousands driving everyday. A day without a car can and will have beneficial implacations for the enviroment along with carbon emissions. Excessive amounts of space is taken up of nothing but parking spaces. Limiting the mobility by vehicle can allow you to be in walking distances from everything you would generally need a car to get too.

You normally go outside to "get some fresh air," but if you think about it is it really all that fresh with how much we are polluting our own home? The Enivromental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities. The legislators are starting the act cautiosly but willingly. 80% of appropriations have gone to highways and only 20% to other tranportation. In excerpt 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, David Goldburg, who is an official of Tranportation for America, states that "All of our development since World War 2 has been centered on the car, and that will have to change."

Limitation of car usuage can uphold stress reduction along with a happier and easier way of going about your day. Just think, you aren't all cooped up in a car, stuck in traffic, making you late for work or something needed to be attended. Instead, you are getting a daily dose of excerise with some fresh air that you have helped arise by taking a breather and letting go of what society has gotten you attached too. "Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift," said Mimi Sheller, in excerpt 4: The End of Car Culture. Reading that statement over allows me to think.. maybe that is for the best; a change.
