CAR FREE DAY 2005 - Thursday September 22, Worldwide
http://www.carfreeday.ca
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Free_Day

International Car Free Day is an annual event celebrated by
100 million people on every continent and supported by the
European Union, the United Nations, the Government of
Canada and the leaders of 1500 cities around the world.

Car Free Day street events and forums highlight the many
problems caused by our dependence on the private
automobile, including air pollution, global warming, stress,
and safety issues. It emphasizes the rights of pedestrians
and cyclists, the need for more and better public transit, and
helps people rediscover their local community, outside the
confines of their vehicle.
