Car Free Day began in France on September 22, 1998．It aimed to make people realize the bad effects that cars had on the quality of life in cities. Later, it became a worldwide event. Now it has been celebrated around the world by more than 100 million people in about 1,500 cities. On this day, people are encouraged to give up driving private cars and take public transport so that they can experience their local area free from traffic. The purpose of this event is to draw people’s attention to environmental protection.
Many cities in China also celebrate this event every year. In 2004, Chengdu encouraged people to ride a bicycle on Car Free Day. In 2005, Xuzhou celebrated its first Car Free Day, whose theme was “Focus on the blue sky and white clouds”. On September 22, 2015, cars were restricted in three areas in Beijing from 9:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m. Only pedestrians(行人) and bicycles were permitted to pass.
In the past four years, Car Free Day has changed from a simple “no driving day” to a new tradition of the Shekou community, Shenzhen. People sing, dance, open creative markets and have a picnic on car-free roads to celebrate it. The organizers of the event hope to create a greener and better community.
