    Hello Community 👋

    Are we all ready to get involved with World Car Free Day!?

    Did you know today (22nd September 2025) thousands of people will be getting involved in Car Free Day! So whether you are cycling to work 🚲 or walking why not leave your car at home and see how this can make a difference to our planet! 🌎

    The day was brought to life by a charity - the World Car Free Network
    who wanted to show the world what it would be like if it was to be traffic-free for just one day. They want to remind people of the incredible benefits of cycling and the positive effect it can have on our local communities, as well as health and the environment.

    The Benefits

    Reducing the use of transport can help with clean air, Vehicle emissions are one of the main sources of outdoor air pollution, particularly in cities. Air pollution alone caused some 4.2 million deaths in 2016, according to the World Health Organization. Transport is also the fastest growing source of fossil fuel CO2 emissions, the largest contributor to climate change.

    Breathe Life – a global campaign for clean air

    Many cities around the world which hold car free days also participate in the #BreatheLife
    campaign. The Breathe Life campaign is led by the World Health Organization, UN Environment and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition. It supports cleaner air initiatives, promotes the use of clean energy and helps cities, regions and countries develop policies and programmes to reduce air pollution. The campaign currently reaches over 80 million people worldwide.

    Like car-free days, the Breathe Life campaign stresses the measures that people can take as communities or individuals (for example, to stop waste burning, promote green spaces and walking or cycling) to improve air quality.

    How will you be travelling today?

    This one was easy for me seeing as I still don't have a car after it was written off in Feb 😂 Not going to lie I miss having the freedom to just jump in and go where I please without relying on my husband and his work van to take me places, it's ikky in there, but I do love that I am doing my bit for the planet though 🌍

    I've been cutting down on driving - mainly because I don't really need to, I live bang in the centre of everything I need, but there are times where you just need to have a lazy day 😂
