Car Free Day in the U.K.
To ease up on vehicle congestion and to reduce carbon emissions, today was Car Free Day in the U.K.
The city of Inverness today was urging people to take alternate means of transportation to and from work, such as buses, trains, and bikes. Many opted to partake and were greeted with offers of free parking and free temporary bikes from a local group.
One dude even made a triathlon out of it by running, cycling, and even canoeing up a river to his job. Now that is green!
This was all part of Wednesday’s Car Free Day.
