What can we teach our children on Car Free Day?

world car free day

In many cities the car is still essential for day to day. Not all places have a good public transport service; Sometimes the urban or line buses do not take you where you need to and you require a car to get around. Vehicle sales continue to grow despite the fact that attempts are being made to promote the use of more environmentally friendly means of transport. The planet needs it but sometimes it is not possible to fulfill it.

One day a year, on Car Free Day, he has set out to give Earth a break. Pollution from vehicles is dangerous and is damaging our atmosphere. Furthermore, CO2 emissions reduce the quality of the air we breathe; and it will worsen the air our children breathe in the future. With this proposal we can teach our children the importance of caring for the planet and not only that; We can teach them to use different types of public transport that will be useful when they need it.

Living without a car, is it possible?

There are many families who cannot afford to have a car. Or as their own decision, they have refused to own a vehicle because of their commitment to the environment. The world of tomorrow will change with the children of today. We must leave them in inheritance a thought of sustainable and renewable resources; we are putting an expiration date on our Earth, assuming that we cannot change what is already established as normal.

Our children have to know the different options they have and for this the best example is still the greatest source of learning available. The family getaways By bicycle (always safely) they can be an incentive for them to use this means of transport in their future to travel to nearby places that do not require a motor vehicle.

As well we must speak clearly to them about what is happening with the environment; the reasons for climate change, how it harms the excessive use of motors and why it is better to use public transport than to use your own vehicle. In short, leave them a positive thought about living without a car by explaining the different alternatives.

To change the destiny of our planet we must begin by changing the minds that inhabit it. Collaborate for the good of your home!
