[/INST] Nowadays, there is one sure thing we depend on to go from Point A to Point B: cars. Cars are used everywhere to drive to work, school, a park or wherever it may be. However, the total amount of automobiles moving out in the streets consumes up too much gas. This gas being released causes smog, or air pollution, that is harmful to our atmosphere & is one of the main causes of global warming. Next, the elimination of cars improves the safety of pedestrians and people wandering on the roads which has indeed prevented people from dying in countries like Colombia and France.
To begin with, when people are driving cars for whatever it may be, they are unintentionally harming the economy. This happens because cars run off of gasoline and when a car is accelerating, the gas is being burned by the motor engine which after is released into the air. Smog is produced being one of the top causes for global warming & this is an exceedingly problematic effect to the atmospherical being of humans and space. Moreover, Paris has reinforced a temporary driving ban due to these longterm, harmful effects to clear the air of the global city. If drivers refuse to obey, they would get fined 22 euros and up to 4,000 drivers were fined. They were blaming diesel fuel although, after five days of intensifying smog, congestion drastically dropped 60% competing against Beijing, known as one of the most polluted cities in the world.
In addition, the elimination of cars in the streets has benefited society in a way that it keeps people safe. As various countries around the world face the risk of car accidents, innocent deaths, lack of resources, and car commuting, they begin to enact laws to try & stop these risky, dangerous downfall from happening. In the suburbs located within Germany, residents of Vauban are pioneers doing what commuting executives have never done before: giving up their cars. This happens since street parking and driveways aren't allowed although the streets are "carfree", a couple are found at the edge of a community as well as the tram running down Freiburg. Plus, without an abundant amount of automobiles anymore, cities become more loose and flow therefore providing a better walking path.
To conclude, cars on the streets may be efficient for people to get to places easily and rapidly, but the substances it releases is harmful to the environment. Smog and air pollution are formed when cars drive greatly contributing to global warming, because they consume up too much gas. Furthermore, not only does it cause air pollution, but it also creates a possibility of putting people's lives in danger by the factors that might affect the consciousness of a driver. So the eliminating of cars does the community good both physically and economically like it is practiced in Vauban, Paris, and Bogota.

[/INST] Air pollution has been a major issue in the U.S for quite some time now. The number one cause of air polution is car exauhst emisions. Engine exauhst from a cars tailpipe shoots into the air we breathe ever so often. Limiting the use of cars would exponentially help reduce the amount of air poluition we have within the U.S today. Knowing this, our main concern as humans right now should be trying to limting car usage in order to reduce harmful greenhouse emissions that cause air pollution and smog.
In Vauban, Germany, citizens have give up their cars and have moved into an experimental upscale community where cars are not highly used. Even though car ownership is allowed, there are only two locations to park the vehichle and would cost $40,000 to buy the parking space. As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold their cars in order to move into the experimental community. Media trainer and mother of two, Heidren Walter says:"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Germany has already taken a first step in order to help reduce car emissions in the air. David Goldberg, an official of transportation for America states:"All of our development since world was II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." In Europe, passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions while the United States is responsible for up to 50 percent greenhouse gas emissions in some car-intensive areas.
On Monday in Paris, motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same ban applied to odd-numbered license plates the following day. Sadly almost 4,000 drivers were fined and twent-seven people had their cars impounded. In the capital of France, congestion of smog was down 60 percent after five-days. Diesel fuel is the leading blame, since France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesel makes up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters. Not only is Germany taking small steps in order to reduce air pollution by limiting cars but Paris is also doing the same thing to help reduce smog.
Not only is Germnay and Paris trying to limit car usage but so is Colombia. In Bogota, Colombia; there is a program they have in which millions of Colombians either skate, bike, hike or took public transportation in order to get to work for one day out of the entire year. The goal is to promote alternative transportatin and reduce smog. Violators would face a fine of $25. Businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza commented:"It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Two other Colomian cities, Cali and Valledupar, have decided to join the event in order to help reduce car usage.
Now we finally reach the United States after hearing about Germany, Paris, and Paris in terms of trying to limit the use of cars. Michael Sivak, who studies the trend of car usgae in America and is a reasearch professor at the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute, reports:"What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down to two to three years before the downturn, I think that means something more fundamental is going on." Mr. Sivak's research has found demogaphic shifts in the driving populations that suggest that the trend may accelerate. There has been a large drop in the percentage of 16-39-year-olds getting a license, while older people are likely to retain their license at they age. A study last year has also found that driving by young people decresaed 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.
Limitng the use of cars is starting to slowy take its place within the United States, Germany, Paris, and even Colombia. Hopefully more and more people around the world will do their part in order to help reduce greenhouse emissions such as smog and air pollution.

[/INST] A study last year found that driving by young people have decreaseed over the years. Less people are getting there licensies and people are driving less miles everyday. Young people are starting to care less about cars. They are strating to use different types of transportation such as public transportation or even walking. There are advantages of limiting car usage like the reduction of green house gas emissions and smog and the less stress put on peoples lives.
Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gass emissions in Europe. This is a huge percent due top cars. If there were less cars then the emissions of greenhouse gases would go down which is a big advantage. In Europe they are trying to reduce the greenhouse gas emissons by reducing the use of cars. The emissons from an increasing number of private cars are choking the cities. With limiting the car usage the cities would not be as polluted. Like Eurpoe Paris bans driving due to the smog. This happened after days of near-record pollution. An another advantage of limiting car pollution is that congestion went down 60 precent making peoples lungs healthier. Cars also make cities such as China filled with intensifying smog. Cars are making the particulate matter go up by a huge percent. For limiting the use of cars and using other tranposrtation this will limit the use of smog. Without the use of cars was a great opportunity to lower air pollution which was President Obamas goals. Limiting the usage of cars will also help people deal with stress.
Cars cause alot of stress for people. Weather the car is broken down or you just got into an accident. They are very dangerous for people who dont follow the rules in them.

[/INST] Limiting car usage is very important because, it can save a lot of money. Some places doesn't allow cars because of the space that they have. Such as in Vauban Germany, some people even give up their car. Vauban's streets are completely car free. 70 percent of Vauban's familiies do not own a car, and 57 percent old a car to mov there. In order to stay in that community they could not have a car therefore they had to sell it. Some are even happy without their cars. Having a car can have a lot of stress on some people. Every week you have to worry about gas. Gas now is a lot of money that you hae to spend. Think about it if you didn't have to buy gas every week or every other week you would have a lot of money saved up. The gas you put in your tank could of went to more grocery in the house. Something that is important such as a "want".
Since World War II people have been depending on a car to get around and that need to change as in today. In the United State the Enbironmental Protection Agency has beem proting
"
Car Reduced
"
and if they do not then they will play a much lager role in a new six-year federl transportation bill to be approved very soon.
Limiting the cars will even be better on the road as well. The congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after just five days of intensifying smog. The gas that the cars release is very dangerious as well, diesel fuel was even blamed since France has a tax policy that favors diesel ober gasoline.
In Colombian people as in the city participate in a car-free day every year whichthis is the Thrid year and the city has made a lot of money by doing that. The turn out always be large, despite gray clouds. "The rain hasn't stopped people from participating yet". It's also a great way to take away stess from people and lower the air pollution. The day without cars had began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. people started using bicycles or walking.

Be sure to use evidence from multiple sources; and avoid overly relying on one source. Your response should be in the form of a multiparagraph essay. Write your essay in the space provided. [/INST] To begin with, is that reducing advantages of limiting car usages can help reduce the 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and reduce 50 percent of the gas in areas like the United States. We must lessen the space for parking so instead of stores along a distant highway you can actually just walk to the store. 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport.
We have to try harder to make the United states more like Vauban.
Then,
We need to get rid of cars to help get rid of pollution. Cars also causes smog, which we can get rid of if we reduced the usage of cars. Also so many cars causes congestion and a lost revenue in delivery companies. A good idea would be to fine the people like Paris did to reduce so many cars on the street.
Next,
The goal would be to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. So only buses and taxis would be permitted for the time being without any cars roaming the streets. Also any violaters will be faced a $25 dollar fine. This idea would be a really good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. We could also build bicycle paths to help travel. We could also have restrictions which could dramatically cut traffic.
Finally, if we got rid of cars it would have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment. New York's new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities. It is said that young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. It is proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve safety.

[/INST] Most likely im in a car every day of my life and the odds are so are you. But What if cars were never invented how many lives would be saved? how much money could we save? And over all how much better and cleaner our world will be. These things are just some of the advantages that pertains to limiting our car usage. Have you ever heard of the good out weighs the bad? well in this situation the good defiantly out weighs the bad.
Our life source is breathing we need to breath air and at that fresh air, but we never are, not with fumes from millions of cars roaming around. Stated in source3 part "Its a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution". That to me sounds like two gains already, whats better than fresh air and less stress. Things just as simple as car pooling makes the world better but what really would is not useing your car daily. No, i dont mean walk every where you could use bikes, electric operated golf carts which are all fun but much better for the air. By useing these we have fewer fumes in the air which makes for better air. If we all began useing these instead of cars in just towns it would become normal to ride bikes and, golf carts rather than big bulky air killing machines. For an example in source4 par29 "Americans are buying fewer cars and driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by". It just starts with one to make something drastically change. Now i know were not gonna take family bike trips all the way from florida to georgia or drive a golf cart that only goes to 40mph,but thats when it would be decent to make a "car trip". Im not saying stop useing cars completely just only when its not necessary. Just think about the world you live in the world that God has created is being polluted every day, but we can all change that.
Money, money ,money Seems to be the big talk in America weather its the money were making, the money were losing ,or the money we just dont have. But Wouldent you rather put your money towards the mouths of your family or the roof over your head, rather than in your gas tank ? Useing less cars would give us more money on more important things in life and, would cause more people to become happier. Just by useing things like bikes can make things more smoother in your every day life for an examplesource3 par28 "Rush hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic". No one i know loves sitting or, nearly wrecking during traffic with this mehtod of less cars we could cut deaths and, stress in half. And i know you would say, but millions of people would lose jobs big money by car usage being reduced,but think of all the new things they could make their money from. People are always looking for the next big thing , well this is it. Dealerships that promote this could now turn into safer mobility shops and, make nearly as much. Stated insource4 par32 "Americans could not afford new cars and the unemployed wernt going to work anyway". This goes to show that were already leaning towards the idea of less cars we just need to be pushed. All the new inventions that will arise weather its cute bicycle covers to built in tops to block the rain people will be gaining and saving just as much. But what were really gainig is the saftey of people. Kids fall off their bikes everyday and probably get hurt but, a scrape is better than taking your last breath. We all gain from this , and our human nature is to want whats best for yourself, well this is surely better for every one.
Almost every day im in a vehicle, but maybe that could soon change. We could gain so much from losing just a little bit of driving time. We would absolutley gain lives,money,and happiness from useing less car usage. Im a firm beliver in useing this method i couldent imagine a better world of things going just so smoothly all of the time. But It takes getting on that bike or walking to the corner store to strike a revolution like this. So get out of your cars and, go make a better place for you and for the world.

[/INST] Many of us are used to getting somewhere by simply using a car, but should we always use a car. If we limit car usage we can solve most of our problems. We can save comically and collect less polution In source one the German Suburbs are car free, where street parking, driveways, and home garages are forbidden generally. Car ownership is allowed, however where a carowner buys space for their car has to pay near 40,000, along with a home. As a result according to source one 70 percent of vaughn's families do not own cars , and 57 percent sold a car to move here. Many citizens complain when the gas prices go up, but if we limit our car usage we wont have to complain anymore. We will save money, because when we decrease the usage of cars we wont use as much gas or diesel. Heidrun Walter told Elisabeth Rosenthal that he now lives happier this way. Not only do we save money but we also relieve tension through out our bodies.
However we may not enjoy this new idea of limiting car usage some of us actually enjoy driving but, there are days where after a long day of working the last thing you want to be in is in traffic jams."It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman named, Carlos Arturo Plaza who rides a two seat bicycle with his wife.
In other ways that limiting car usage could help us is by eliminating pollution, of course everyone enjoys breathing in fresh air. By limiting car usage we can help lower polution. According to source two," After days of nearrecord pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city," the usage of car produced so much smog that they had to ban driving. Many of use drive to so many places that are near by that in reality we dont really have to use our car not only will we reduce pollution, but we will also maintain ourselves fit by using different alternatives like, walking, running, ridding our bikes. Although some may say, " what if its an emergency," its fine we're only limiting car usage, we aren't goining to ban it forever.
If we limit car usage we can not only save money, but we can also reduce polution, and have a better lifestyle. Although these aren't the only ways limiting car usage can benefit us.

[/INST] If you using cars, you need to stop bruh! Cars are bad for the environment. Cars aren't as fresh as unicycles anyway. Cars are bad because it increases global warming, takes up too much space, and cost too much.
Who would want to see penguins fall into the water because the land they live on has melted? I do, but still it is not right. Cars make animals all over the world fall into the water because the land they are on is melting. One time i saw a history show that showed the ice melting and falling onto the sea. (Source 1) Anyways, whether you like it or not, that is a fact.
Cars are soo bulky and they have alot of mass. Thats right, I said it ! MASS! They make it harder to walk on the road. It looks like they are so big too! (Source 3) In ancient Greece, people used horses. Why cant we do that? Horses are alot skinnier than cars believe it or not. Also they dont need gasoline or electricity, they just need oatmeal or beans. Sometimes my horse eats its own feces also, which makes feeding it less of a hassle. (Source 2)
Last but leastly, cars are sooo freeckin expensive. Back in the days, cars used to cost like 500 dollars. (Source 5)Now they cost 5000 dollars for a used one. That is soo lame! Also, you have to pay alot of money. Sometimes you pay more money than the cost of your house. Now if you live in Lebron's house, that is ridiculous. Yes i like basketball by the way! Basketball cars cost the most money too.(Source 4) If you have seen limited edition sports cars, they cost up to 30,000! Who has the money for that kind of reckless spending. I can barely pay for my school lunch. I always asks my friends if they are done with what they are eating.
In conclusion, i would like to finish this essay with a great finale. I would like to end this writing now. This is where i finish off the essay with a splash. Now i will provide the resolution, or conclusion, to my essay. (Source: Brain) Here I will talk about why I am finishing the essay, and how i will finish the essay. First off: Shoutout to the Testing Company that picked m school. I got out of four of my classes today! I missed out on two tests that i have to make up before or after i celebrate Christmas!

[/INST] From the crammed streets of New York City, to the tourist-filled city of Paris, cars have been the means of transportation around the globe ever since their creation. The reliance on cars has been an issue too great to ignore, as the environment becomes more polluted and the streets become more dangerous. We must shed light on the dark tunnel that has been blinding our judgement to a brighter future, where pollution is limited and our streets are clean. That future can only be seen with limiting car usage. Therefore, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment and it would create a better lifestyle around the world.
First, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment. With global warming increasing by the day, any step to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases should be taken, limiting car usage is an essential tool to head in that direction. As a Elisabeth Rosenthal from the New York Times expounded: "Passanger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." Clearly cars are extremely harmful to the environment. However there is hope, because once car usage is limited these high numbers can be mitigated everywhere. In fact, in Paris, as Robert Duffer from the Chicago Tribune reported, policies to lower car usage have been taken and have actually worked! In France's capital "motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine. The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." In hopes to reduce carbon emmissions and save the environment, Paris's prayers were answered as the smog cleared enough for the government to remove the ban for odd-numbered plates. Clearly, the pollution reduced due to one factor--limiting car usage. If actions around the world are initiated similar to Paris's plan, then a better environmental future is inevitable. The environmental benefits of reducing car usage are endless. After all we only have one planet, cars should not be the machines to dictate our environmental future.
Moreover, limiting car usage is benefitial because it would create a better lifestyle around the world. Reliance on cars has shaped modern society into a dependent state on oil. However, once that oil runs out, what type of lifestyle will people turn to? Limiting car usage provides this answer through a healthy lifestyle before this day arises. For example, In Bogota, Colombia, as Andrew Selsky from the Seattle Times put it: "the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths" had been built within Bogota after years of limiting cars. People are shifting their reliance on cars and turning them into productive means of transportation. In fact, rush hour restrictions cut traffic and has led to a rise in parks and shopping districts in Bogota, according to Mr Selsky. Even Carlos Arturo Plaza a businessman in Bogota enthusiastically exclaimed: "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." as he rode a two seat bicycle with his wife. However, Bogota is not the only place where limiting car usage has been gaining support, the Mobile World Congress has been engaged too! Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company laid out his plan where he envisioned a "world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesriable," (Rosenthal). He believed that "partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emission and improve safety" (Rosenthal). If people around the globe are willing to support this movement, especially a chairman for one of the world's largest automotive companies, and partake in this new lifestyle, then limiting car usage must be the way to go. This new lifestyle of riding bikes, walking, and taking public transportation, will mold the traditional transportation mediums, into a more safe and secure one if citizens support this advantageous movement.
It is time the citizens of planet Earth envision the streets of Beijing and the historic city of London, not as images of pollution and car-reliant places, but as clean and healthy ones. The advantages of limiting car usage makes this dream a reality, because this policy betters the environment and creates a better lifestyle around the world. Hopefully word spreads quickly, and everyone, everywhere, knows of the advantages of limiting car usage, because only then, will our future be a bright one.

[/INST] Some people complain that by not having a car they aren't allowed to complete certain tasks or it limits their chances for actually "doing better" in life. If only those people knew how bad having a car could be sometimes. I myself is a person without a car, and I already am stressed out. When having a car you have to deal with the constant prices of gas, the troubles of if your car breaks down or not, and being a relaible taxi as they like to call it for those people who are car-free. I do believe there should be some car limitations enorced.
You just read that last sentences of that paragraph and probably thought man this girl is crazy, but no I'm serious. There are actually a great amount of advantages for limitations on car usage. For example the constant worrying about gas. How much is it going to cost? Can I afford it this week? Will I make it to work with only half a tank? as stated here "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way", said Heidrun Walter from
In German Suburb, Lies Goes Without Cars . Think about it this way a giant weight has just been lifted off your shoulders.
Being without a car isn't as bad as it may seem. There's no more having to deposit your life savings when your car breaks down or better yet having to constantly think about that nasty smog that comes out of the back muffler when you need a tune-up.

I do see this happening in small towns but cities would be more difficult to travel to unless they rebuilt everything within walking distance.
Now if America's citizens are driving less each year then let it happen and in a few years come back to the data that is presented in passage 4. So basically let it all happen on its own and not have to force it like Paris has done with giving out fines for whoever is driving a car with odd numbered license plates on mondays and even on tuesdays.

[/INST] Cars make it exceptionally easy to travel and move around. Auto use permits an individual to go to places they have not been before. In Europe, the countries that share the shingen space allow Europeans to move freely. To avoid pricy plane and train tickets, a lot of Europeans use their cars to go to an entirely different country and experience a variety of different cultures in a matter of hours. It is most certainly a privilege. Despite the many pros of having a car, the cons outweight them. Throughout this essay I will explain the advantages of limiting car usage.
In many countries and cities car usage has dropped. Some countries,it is purely accidental or due to economic reasons and in some cities and countries, this decline is intended. In a city called Vauban in Germany, citizens have given up their cars. In this city,street parking,driveways and garages are more often than not forbidden. This may seem strange to not have the privilege to own a car or a garage. But most of the residents have moved out from the city to live here. Heidrun Walter claims that she is much happier this way and before she was always tense.70% of the vaughn's family do not own a car, and 57% sold their cars to live in Vauban. This particular city is a mere example of a growing trend in Europe,the United States and various other country. The plan is to separate suburban life from auto usethis movement is called "smart planning".
In opposition, to these efforts, automobiles are usually an important factor to the suburbs where usually middleclass people live. This causes a huge impediment to current efforts to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars. In Europe,passenger cars are the reason for the 12 percent of greenhousee gas emissions in the United states that number almost quadruples in size in some carintensive areas. The approach is to make suburbs more compact rather than having malls on the border on distant highways.
Due to smog and pollution to this global city's air, Paris enforced a driving ban to put an end to polution. 4,000 drivers were rightfully so fined that day. This issue had to be taken seriously for a greater cause. For example, for the smog levels to decrease and to purify the air in the cities and suburbs and to prevent pollution. Public transit was free for those five days that the ban was enforced. Congestion dropped 60% in Paris, ever since the driving ban. The smog rivaled Beijing, which is often known for being one of the most polluted cities in the world. Diesel fuel was blamed because of a tax policy in favor of diesel fuel in France. More than half of vehicles run on diesel fuel in France.
In the Colombia's capital, Bogota, many colombians hiked,skated or took buses to work in spirit of their car free day. Personally I think this was an extravagent idea. It teaches people to not be so dependent on cars. This day significantly reduced traffic jams,smog and promoted transportation. This was a wonderful oppurtunity to lower stress and air pollution at the same time! Parks and sports bloomed that day, sidewalks that were unfinished and in poor conditions were replaced,the traffic decreased and restaurants blossemed. This car free day had an amazing impact on this community and the world.
Due to recents studies, Americans are driving less and buying few cars as the years go by. The miles driven have peaked in 2005 , but as of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person dropped 9% , and was equal to the percentage in Janurary 1995. Scientist state that this decline is beneficial for carbon emissions and the enviroment. Although this might affect dearly the car industries. The rise of cellphones,internet and apps this permits a more flexible way of making commuting arangements,and the evolution of vans services.
A lot of people have been using public transportation and biking to get around. There has been a drop from 1639 year olds in getting their license. Getting license is not as big as of priority for those people. They revolve their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take busses and trains or carpool with friends.
To conclude, I strongly believe that limiting car use would benefit different aspects in peoples lives. But for people to give up using cars,the recontruction of suburban cities is a very important. I live in the suburbs and despite the houses around, you would need a car to go to the grocery store,restaurant and to have fun with your friends. Highways usually circle around suburban cities and that may cause congestion. To make car usage less of a priority for citizens, we would have to think of the greater cause and to restablish cities to not prohibit people from moving around. The decline in car use will improve the world for the generations to come.

[/INST] Well for one if we limit car usage, gas wouldn't pollute the air as much and make Earth a much better planet. I think it would be much better to limit the use of cars because then there wont be as much deaths due to accidents and serious car wrecks. Not as much drunk drivers just a bunch of drunk walkers. I feel that if everyone either walked or biked everywhere, the community would be a much better place as a whole. You would be able to meet new people everyday.
You would never have to worry about car insurance anymore because you wouldn't have a car! No more money for damages or issues with the car. The community would just be a lot more peaceful if cars weren't involved with our days society. Just like when Heidrun Walter stated when they had a car they were always tense. Now that they don't they are much happier! The Environmental Protection Agency is already promoting car reduced communities, which I think is a good idea!
I think we should also have a day like Bogota had when they go a day without cars for their improvement campaign. They have constructed 118 miles of bicycle paths. This would also improve traffic if we cut down on cars in the United States. New restaurants and shopping districts could be made from the outcome! As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak in 2005 and is now equal to where the country was in January 1995! A study last year found that young drivers decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009! Im all for cutting down on car usage in the United States! I think it would be an awesome opportunity to be apart of.

[/INST] Some advantages on limiting car use can be actually very favorable for the enviroment as well as for the people. If the usage of car is limited there would be less pollution, less car accidents and no more "stuck in traffic". As of that it would be a healthy way of life, more excise and more time to pass with other people.
One thing that could be a good way to start this "Limited Car Usage" would be what the city of Bogota, Colombia is doing: The Day Without Cars. This is promoted as a program when in that day cars are banned with only buses and taxis permited. This inspires the people to walk more, ride a bike, and if something is very, very far they could just take a bus or a taxi. This would make a great impact on people's life and maybe it would soon be joined by other cities or whole countries like the cities of Cali and Valledupar have already done.
In Paris, France driving was banned due to smog, not exactly like that, but it was partially banned to clear the air of the city. For example one rule they had was that on monday motorists with even-numbered licence plates were ordered to leave their cars at home and that they next day it would be the odd-numbered plates who would have to follow this rule. Thanks to this little rule congestion was down 60 percent in France's capital and the smog was cleared off.
In America is almost the End of Car Culture. There have been recent studies that suggests that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. By this alone you can see that "We are witnessing a long-term cultural shift" as Mimi Sheller said. Now yes, this whole "No Car" or "Car Limiting" rules can have a negative implication for the car industries, but in general for the rest of the people this would be a good impact in their lives.
In general "Car Limiting" can only make a positive impact in the lives of most of us and also in the enviroment. And as Bill Ford said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelora, Spain: "Pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety".

[/INST] The wheel was the first step that took society into the making of the mobile car. Today millions of cars are made each year to help humans transport around the cities and streets around the world. Every vehicle that is powered by gasoline emits carbon dioxide, this gas is very harmful for the environment, it causes the ozone later to slowly dissolve and it also causes acid rains. Traffic jams is one of the many effects of having too many cars in a certain populated area. Debt has also been an influential part in the quantity of cars around the globe. Car usage and production should be drastically reduced to ensure a better future for all living things in the Planet Earth.
Furthermore, Global warming has slowly made its toll on Earth, most of which has been produced by the Carbon Dioxide gases in the atmosphere, this gas is a mayor green house gas. Over the years cars have been more extensively used and have a great percentage in world contamination, As stated in article 1 paragraph 5 "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of green house gas emissions in europe... and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the united states". This being, if car production and usage are reduced, Earth will have positive reactions to this change. The levels of global warming will also be reduced all around, this will help us conserve our north and south poles for a longer period of time, keeping safe all the animals related to that area like penguinzs and polar bears.
In addition, Traffic jams arent the most pleasant place to be, due to the fact that they're unpredictable and in most cases highly annoying. Information from passage 2 paragraph 14 states that "congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france", this was due to oderly assigning days in which certain cars with certain license plates can drive through the cities of france. Less congestion means higher percent in mobility all around, this can greatly effect a 3 hour traffic jam to a simple 20 minute ride. Coming and going from places can be a brease, and this will also facilitate extra time for other potential activities. Reducing car usage and congestion can also lead to less accidents and car crashes.
Moreover, Leasing or buying a new car can come heavy on the pocket. Financial debt has been trounced ever since a currency started, debt is unpredictable sometimes and can happen to any individual. Having the latest model of a car can be a luxury only some can afford, the individuals who try and cant afford it ussually end up in debt, as reinforced in article 4 paragraph 32 "Cash Strapped americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployed werent going to work anyway". Ussually some individuals "bite more than they can chew" and this can harm not only one indivual, but the economy as a whole. Reducing the mayor debt that can come from car leasing can improve a counrtys economy and benift milliones of individuals.
Concluding, many reasons show society to reduce the usage of cars. One being that gasoline and petrolium powered cars can contaminate the planet Earth, melt our poles, destroy the ozone layer and cause harmful weather effects. Also, the reduction of cars can lead to the decongestion of cities in which indiviuals can more easily and freely move around adding time for them to use as they like. Lastly, the economy can have a mayor boost if car reduction and usage from leasing can occur. In conclusion, the reduction of car usage and production is a great benefit for every individual who lives on Earth, and can lead to many great outcomes that will help members of society enjoy a better life style and have a safer future.

[/INST] Almost every American has a car. Just go outside and look at your neighborhood.. I'm almost positive if you were to look everyone would have a car except for maybe 1 or 2.. The car is in our everyday use basically.. It helps us get to work, run aarons, take kids to school, etc. Now you may seem like theres only 1 risk of being in a car, but believe it or not.. When your car is on and running you're hurting the air.. Now I know the air doesn't have feelings! But logically you're hurting the air and yourself. America should limit car usage for simple reasons like air pollution, car accidents, and laziness. These are the things we should focus on when we're in our cars or when we talk about safety because all those reasons fall into that category. Small changes would be nice and helpful here. It reduce lot of problems we have, and stress.
To kick this off, limiting the usage of cars would reduce the amount of air pollution that we are surrounded in now. Think about it millions of cars on and running everyday, sometimes if you look closely thers black gas coming out of the exhaust pipe.. And you're breating that? Out of millions of cars where do you think all those fumes go? they don't just dissapear! We're breating it! sure you might say "So if im breathing it doesn't that mean i should be dead?!" no.. that's not the case.. Yes it's bad for you but it hurts the earth mostly the gases break apart the atmosphere we have around to block other fumes from other places out. Think of the earth as a hamster in a ball.. The hamster is the earth and the ball is out atmosphere. The holes in the ball are the holes made from the gases that are released from our cars. This could let any type if gas in. In places like China there's a huge problem caused by all the cars.. it's called smog. Think of fog all over the place but its black and smells really bad. Not only that but it's really bad for you. You may think why don't we have that here? Well China is the most populated country in the world and almost everyone has a car. China is a pretty busy place you'd imagine because of all the people. Well you're right.. All the fumes coming out of those cars cause all that smog to contaminate everything there. Like water, animals, food, and even you! It's very bad. China needs to limit the usage of their cars in order to stop problems like that because it can effect everything around them. We should start worrying about the smog aswell because America is a pretty big place and all the busy cars can cause something similar to a smog, it may not be as big bu it will still cause damage. With all this said hopefully you understand what air pollution does and how we can reduce it.
Moving along, Car accidents is a very big thing everywhere it causes thousands of deaths and injuries. We can stop all of it if we can limit the car usuage. you may say "We can also just stop teens from driving.." well yeah you can do that but how will they learn for themselves? Small rules metioned in the article are very interesting like cars with even licence plates were allowed to drive on mondays for example, and cars who drove with odd licence plates were fined for not obeying the law. On Tuesdays it would be the same but for odd licence plates. I think if this rules was implemented atleast 2 times a week it would help reduce the amount of accidents. There wouldn't be asmuch cars and it will be lot safer for people to drive. Sadly in lot of accidents they are fatal in highways, just imagine hundrends of thousands of cars driving in 34 lanes, you hit a car and it will obivously start a big problem from there. Think of it like dominos stacked in a line you knock one down and it just starts all tumbling in order. Yeah some cars avoid it but not always. The less the cars the less the accidents. Altough this is off topic but limiting the amount of cars on a freeway or highway per hour will limit the amount of accidents aswell. Back to the point, America needs to do something about the cars or it will just keep happening the more the drivers the more the danger out in the roads and highways. Hopefully this helped you understand more about the limiting of car use a little more.
We're almost there, how ever we should stop revolving our selves around our car. If you live 10 minutes away from a supermarket or small convienience store just walk there.. You're just wasting money and polluting the air driving there.. A bike is a great way to get there you go decently fast, you don't get tired as much and it's a good exercise. We should stop getting to lazy because it is affecting both us and the earth very negatively. I would understand if you're in a hurry but seriously.. If you're 1020 minutes walking distance why not just walk there.. You don't only exercise in the gym, get some fresh air outside.. well partially fresh air.. Yeah you get the point.. We need to get our butts up and walk places because our car isn't our only source of transportation! It's not just hurting you! Don't forget your purse or wallet! Because it has a big impact on that to with the gas prices going all over the place right now. Something people don't see when they're driving there car is what there doing to the enviornment, yeah i've mentioned it many times but it something we really need to look at because it effects your health tremendously. If you actually take the time to walk or bike to where ever you want it feels nice to actually walk and stretch your muscles out. We need more car reduced communities so that we don't just use our cars all day to get to places not to far away.
To conclude, we need to start limiting the usage of cars in order to reduce lot of problems in our enviornment. Most of our enviornmental problems revolve around something we use everyday which is the car. Problems such as air pollution, car accidents, and laziness. These things just don't effect you, if effects everyone including the envornment. This is something we should look out for ecause it is a very negative thing we have. Mainly air pollution because that affects everything.. And i mean everthing... Food, water, animals, plants, and even you.. So we all should look out for this and be a bt more responsible. We need more laws to help reduce the amount of smog and greenhouse gases that we have here today in our world. Hopefully you read this and learned lot about the importance of limiting the usage of cars and how it can effect everything.

[/INST] The invention of the car was a revolution in itself, developing a new, faster way to get to far away places. However, the more people use transportation the more it seems to affect our everyday lives in both positive and negative ways. Transportation can cause a lot of pollution which could in later years really affect how people live their lives today, but a new car-free revolution could be just what the world needs to delay that probable outcome.
Pollution comes from all different kinds of things like cars, factories, and even smoking. Right now this is the only world in which is sutible for people to live on and all these things that pollute the air could risk how much longer people get to have it. Andrew Selsky says that in Bogota, Columbia the 7 million citizens have dedicated a day in which no personal car transportation is used. This one day has not only helped reduce the pollution, but also benefit the town in many different ways. Such as new parks and stores have been able to open, sidewalks have been re-paved, rush-hour restictions cutting the traffic down, and also the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths. This "Car-Free Day" has also reached out into other countries as well and according to Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asunción, Paraguay, "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders."
A businessman named Carlos Arturo Plaza says that the "Car-Free Day" in Bogota is, "a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Just one day without having to drive and worry about the risks of driving can take a weight of stress off of some peoples' shoulders. In Vauban, Germany there are no residents that own a single car. Elisabeth Rosenthal described the city saying that, "Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district..." Some of the towns residents said that having a car would always have them tense and they were much happier living in a "no car city". Having to deal with every day stress is hard enough, but when you have to deal with additional driving stress it can really take a toll on some people.
"Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fower cars, driving less and getting fower licenses as each year goes by," says Rosenthal. America has long been known as one of the world's prime car cultured countries in the world, but since the peak of miles driven in 2005 these miles have been steadily decrreasing with every year. Studies have shown that there has been a big drop in the percentage of 16- to 39-year-olds who get their license. The percentage of young drivers getting their licenses has decreased by 23% between the years 2001 and 2009 in America alone. A decrease in people owning their own vehicles means that there could be a decrease in the pollution that cars burden the earth with every year.
Bogota, Colombia is a great example of a new revolution soon to come. This hopeful revolution will not only decrease pollution, but stress as well. A decrease in the popullation of young people getting their licenses could also greatly affect the way in which the world transports people from place to place. Transportation can cause a lot of pollution which could in later years really affect how people live their lives today, but a new car-free revolution could be just what the world needs to delay that probable outcome.

I see that all cars are is a deadly machine that can kill anyone at anytime. over a hundred inasent people die every mouth by a car accident or and motorised viache colision.
Theres some places around the world where cars are limited to residents owning a car. For example: Vauban, Germany. Just because theres to many people that do not own any type of transportation have to walk the streets and so the people that own cars have a hard time trying to get places with all the people crowding the streets. when theres to mant people walking it beggins to back up traffice to a point people give up there cars to actual get to their work on time or to see a movie before it starts. I belive cars should be limited to the point where people have to walk. To cut down the obesity rate.

[/INST] 12% of all green house gas in Europe is from is from car emissions and up to 50% in the United States. The earth needs a change while it still can. Theres already many countries that are trying to do something, France the U.S. and Colombia just to name a few. Taking a break and not driving cars has so many pros and very little cons. Yes, you might have to walk and might lose some weight but it may decide how much longer humans can stay on earth.
What comes out of your car, that's what you are breathing. Would you rather breath burn gasoline fumes or fresh clean air? Its your choice, every year billions of people driving cars that are releasing a gas ,CO2, into the air which is poisonous to humans. What happens after the world gets full of it? I honestly don't want to see.
Not only is car pooling and taking public transportation cheaper that paying for gas but it also helps keep the green house gasses down more that if everyone was driving. A recent study by Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives shows that more Americans are driving less cars every year. Join your fellow Americans, you won't regret it.
Soon enough cars are going to get banned and fines will be put in place that are given to people who drive gas powered cars. Do you really want this to happen? People getting fined just because they had to go to work or to see there family? I'm pretty sure you o don't, so lets make the world a little more car free. Then thus make the world CO2 free.
Now there's a relatively new car that runs on electric. Although these cars are not exactly cheap, but they are motorless and gasless and they don't release CO2 into the atmosphere and they look nice too. If that doen't suit you there is a hydrogen powered car coming out in 2015. If you dont think you can handle that then there is always busses, taxis and bikes. Then if you still can't find something you like there's walking, humans where built with legs, use them.
Think about how you want your children and there children to live there lifes and how you and the rest of the earth can effect them and how you can keep there lifes free of poisonus CO2. Consider the walk or bus ride and maybe even investing in an electric car or a bycicle.

[/INST] As we get older we want to travel to more places and get there faster, what if their was a quicker way without using cars. Certain places have been introducing a new concept, they calls themselves suburban pioneers. They live in places that have little or no cars, besides for the occasional bus, and all the stores that they would normally drive to are much closer now. Their are many beneficial points to this new way of life such as a dramatic drop in greenhouse gasses, a stress free way to live, and also who doesn't desire to save a buck or two. If people start to limit the usage of cars this planet might actually become a safer more joyful place to live.
In the past years greenhouse gasses have skyrocketed. The ozone layer is now trapping car exhaust fumes in earth and leading to what some might call global warming. Summer becomes hotter and longer, vice versa with winter. The U.S alone is to blame for up to 50 percent of greenhouse gas emission. In europe it's 12 percent which is still quite a grave deal. Causes of not cutting back on the use of cars leads to tragic events such as the one that unfolded in Paris. Thier was so much smog in the air from motorized cars that for five days no one could start their cars unless they had a wish of paying a pricey fine. If people start to diminish the use of cars we can restore this humble planet to its former glory.
Forking out money for a car and having the luxury of fixing it up overtime a piece falls off or something malfunctions can become expensive quite rapidly. Who doesn't crave to save money anyways? Those who have chosen the suburban pioneer way of living have saved enormous enough of money. They don't have to pay for the insurance of the car and they don't have to pay to fix up the ole' rust bucket. Though some would rather have a car, but those who drive do the honors of car pulling which might not be the most time saving mechanism but in the long run it truely is beneficial. Also the government gains from all this. The government pays to build highways and roads for your car, but if cars aren't so common as time goes by roads get shorter and people start to get paid more because of all the money that the government is saving. Though money can't make us happy is still is an important piece to own in life.
In retrospect cars cause a lot of stress related problems. Everyone has one of those days where they wake up late and then suddenly remember that they have to get across town in a few minutes. Yes a car could get you there in less than no time, but wouldn't it be much simpler if you could just walk a closer distance. With the desecration of cars, stores and outlets would be much closer to your home. The stress of forgetting something at home and then having to drive 30 minutes to go get it would be diminished. Families could have more interaction with each other which means a closer bond could be formed. Receting the number of cars wouldn't be such an inhuman thing to do if you knew that the outcome was far more appealing.
To sum up, limiting the number of cars that roamed this earth would be more of a gain than a loss. Cars create hazardous gasses that are released into the air that are slowly but surely rendering us useless. Cars also cause safety hazards that can lead to a stressful environment. Plus if you don't use a car as often or get rid of it all together you can retain money for more important matters such as bills for your house or maybe a well deserved vacation. The posibilities are endless if we begin to limit the use of cars.

One way Paris is helping out is a partial ban on driving. They do this to control the smog, a gas created f rom cars, to pro m ote good air and have a cleaner cit y . On Monday drivers with a even license plate are ordered to leave their cars home or pay a thirty one dollar f ine, and it wo u ld apply to the odd license plate the next day.
Now Paris is not the only one on the c lean air bane wagon so is the United States. President Obama wants to curb the greenhouse emissions. But in recent studies show that fewer Americans are buying fewer cars, getting a license and even driving each year.
Now even in BOGOTA, Colombia they are helping with the air the capital city even has a special day.

[/INST] The concept of the automobile in the early 1900s was enough to make others pursue the dream of having one. As car dealerships made better looking, faster, high performance cars, the more people wanted them. After World War II when cars became inexpensive, more and more people had them. But it's also becoming an issue. Recently, that trend is going down.
To begin, the car industry has been at an all time high. We're making cars so fuel efficient, it almost seems impossible. We even have hybrid cars, which run on electric and fuel (respectively). But with all of the cars out there, especially in the US, the pollution in nations and our own cities are at an all time high. China's air pollution is the worst in the world. Nations have been taking the initiative to partially ban car use for a few days. Paris for instance, banned motorists with even-numbered license plates from using their vehicles, switching to odd-numbered the following day.
Furthermore, we have Bogota, Colombia who took a different approach to the rising air pollution. Instead of what Paris did, they banned automobile use in general, for one day. Buses and taxis still ran, but private vehicles did not. This seeminly little feat over time has done wonders on the city. More and more cities, including nations, are beginning this practice.
To sum things up, we see that there are advantages (and of course disadvantages) to limiting car use. Companies may lose money if they transport items. But as a whole, it's only a few days. Or even one day, that no one drives a vehicle. It's a perfect time to ride a bike, and lower air pollution in a city.

[/INST] "All of our development since World War II has been centered around the car, and that will have to change," said David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. David Goldberg says this in means of trying to decrease car usage, such as in Vauban, Germany. Car usage after World War II continued increasing for a long period of time until 2005 in the United States the number of miles driven started to decrease. In the year 2013, the miles driven in the United States decreased nearly 9% since 2005 and was equal to the amount of miles driven in 1995. Throughout the whole world people have been experiencing problems with air pollution and due to that many have been trying to decrease the usage of cars in different ways to slow this air pollution.
To start off, pollution from cars has been a large factor of the air pollution today. In the United States, 50 percent of the greenhouse emissions in the United States is caused by passenger cars. Then there is Paris who has been experiencing heavy smog. Recently, it has had days of near-record pollution. Reason for such high levels of smog or air pollution can be attributed to a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesel makes up 67% of vehicles in France. Then in the rest of Western Europe 53.3% of the vehicles are diesel.
Next, is how some people attempt to slow the car pollution. The first example of a community trying to decrease the usage of cars is Vauban, Germany. In Vaubaun street parking, driveways, and home garages are generally forbidden. For the most part, Vauban is car free. The only way to use cars in Vauban is to carpool because there is only two places to park in the whole city and they are two large parking garages on the edge of development. Then you have to pay $40,000 to keep a spot. 70% of the people in Vaubaun do not own cars. Anoter example is Paris, who is one of the biggest air pollutants next to Beijing. They have been trying to decrease the smog in their area through slowing the amount of cars on the road. What they did is make it so only cars wih even-numbered license plates could drive one day and odd-numbered license plates the next. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined due to this policy, which showed some reluctance in following the plan. This did not matter though because the smog cleared enough to where the polcy only lasted for one day. Another attempt in lowering the usage of cars was Bogota's car-free day. In this program it is quite obvious that it was just a day of no car usage at all. During this event Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work. Even in the rain people of Bogota participated in this event. Then there is one other case of lowering the usage of cars, which is the natural way, having people just grow away from the car. This is currently happening in the United States, one of if not the largest car users. Like I said earlier since 2005 the usage of cars has decreased. Whether this trend stays in motion or not depends on the idealism of the current and future generations.
To conclude, the use of cars is creating problems in air pollution and due to this there have been attempt to slow this usage. Then back to what David Goldberg said the development of the car needs to stop being the center of attention. So instead what we have to do is take our attention away from using the car to ways of finding ways to limit the cars use.

[/INST] "All of our developement since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change.", stated David Goldberg, accordind to author Elisabeth Rosenthal. Fellow citizens, the time has come to adress the complications of our over usage of cars. There are many advantages to limiting car usage that you need to take into consideration. Less stress, reduced air pollution, and less money spent on such a worthless form of transportation. Sounds like an intriguing advantage, right?!
First off, stress can be caused greatly by cars. Although, this may sound absurd, just put some thought into it. With a limit on car usage, you hardly have to worry about your kid crossing the street by themselves. Say bye bye, to car hijackers! They are no longer a problem, neither is getting in an accident. Stop worrying, because do to the limit on car usage, your chances of caos are finited, they are no longer limitless.
Furthermore, air pollution is a big economic problem today. Limiting car usage means a great deal of air pollution reduction. In article, " Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog", we see congestion was down 60 percent, after five days, five days alone! Can you imagine how much better our health would be? We see many cases of lung cancer, due to smoke in the lungs, putting a limit on many lives. Also, air pollution is as well bed for mother nature herself, killing trees, our vital resource we not only rely on to put a roof over our heads, but also our whole source of living. Air pollution, is a definite economic problem that we can get rid of simply with the reduction of car usage.
Is your money being well spent? Not really, and you can thank the monster sitting in your driving, hiding in plain site. Cars need lots of attention. We're talking about more attention than an infant! You have to provide it with insurance, monthly bills and so much more. For instance, if you were to get a flat tire, you have to replace it with a spare, tand then that flat has to also get fixed. Money, money, and more money just being stolen right from under your nose, while gas prises are piling higher!
To conclude, if you were to limit your car usage you shall find many advantages, not only for you but for the economy. Stress, is a never ending cycle with the hunk of parts you may call your, "friend". A reduction in air pollution has a great amount of benefits. Next time, you decide to take a ride out with your buddies in your car, take a nice good thought about all the exhaust possibly filling up your lungs, and if not yours then someone else's. Lastly, you no longer will have to worry about your money jumping out your pocket.

[/INST] Cars, they are used for many purposes including taking the kids to school, going to work and many others but have you ever thought about what vehicals are doing to the Earth or the people on the Earth? Well cars have to use gasoline or diesel to move that is just how it always has been but these fossil fuels are actually poluting the Earth, and making the air we breath very "smoggy." If we can limit our usage of our cars there can be many advantages including having cleaner air to breath, more excercize, and also less expenses. Humans could survive without cars if we give it a shot.
Take a deap breath outside, what do you smell? Listen, what do you hear? Cars honking? A loud engine of a diesel truck? Well most likely because cars have been around for a long time and without them how would people get to work or school, but have you ever thought about what these cars and trucks are letting out of their tailpipe? Source 1 "In German Suburb,Life goes on with cars" says that there has been "a huge imediment to curent efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes" these greenhouse gases are clogging up our atmosphere and our air. Without cars air pollution would go down emensly, and would be a big advantage. In Paris there has been "near-record polution"- "Paris bans driving to to smog" By: Robert Duffer.
Now a days when people hear excersize they would run and hide but it's mostly because we have all these vehicals that can take us places without the dreaded walking or running. Americans today can get a cheeseburger in minutes through a drive-thru in their vehicals but have you ever imagined life without a car, in Columbia on " The Day without Cars" as said in " Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogata By: Andrew Salsky "Columbians hiked, biked, skated...to work during a car free day" and even "parks and sports centers also have smooth sidewalks" which has "dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants...have cropped up" The car free day has made excersize a little easier, and now with smoother side walks and more sports centers people in Columbia can have more opportunities to take a walk.
When you have a car its not unusual to have to go get gas atleast once every one or two weeks, but these expenses can pile up when you have to buy gas or even the oil change of your vehical. What if you get in a accident will your insurence cover it, cars and trucks take a lot of expenses and it can be hard to pay for it all and when President Obama gave the ambitious goal to lesson the greenhouse emissions last week "Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by" -"The End of Car Culture" By:Elisabeth Rosenthal. The usage of less cars can has a great advantage on your wallet.
As said in "The End of Car Culture"- "Pedestian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and piblic transportation traffic are woven into a commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected networkto save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety." Limiting your car usage can have many advantages including making Earth's air cleaner, creating a way for more excersize, and also less expences. Cars will still be in use but maybe we can limit it to only a few.

[/INST] Car usage is very popular in this world we have come to know. It used for many means of transportation like going to work, school, social events, or just simply going shopping or hanging out with friends. Those are some up sides to having and using a car. But they are some down sides as well. I will be explaining the down sides of using a car as well as the advantages of limiting car usage.
My first reason in this topic that i have chosen to tell you about are "Car-free" cities. what are Car-free cities? well the name says it all is a new project they are working on in europe of this city who is car free. This new city has no cars, no street parking, no driveways or or home garages. Why do they exist? well the obvious answer is to minimize car pollution that are creating green house gases and are polluting the air and more places can adopt this idea and have more "car-free" cities so we can save the planet and ultimately save our selves from extinction because we did not know how to maintain our planet clean. Also a thing a like about this new "Car-free" city is that theres a main street where theres all the stores at a walking distance like how great is that? u can just take a ten to twenty minute walk and go shopping for anything like grocerys, shoes, clothe, restaurants instead of driving to a mall along some distant highway and ultimately that is where everybody is so hanging out with your friends and meeting all up in one place is at a walking distance and if you dont have any friends well you make new friends at this main street because that is where everybody is.
Another great reason for considering less car usage is less traffic. Who does not like less traffic? everybody hates traffic is slow, boring, and annoying. Now if we have less traffic that means we have less commute time when trying to get to work if you have a job that is far from your home and that means you get to work sooner and on time and hopefully get a raise because you feel like you dont get paid anough to do what you do. Also if we have less traffic we have less commute time and what does that mean? well it can mean multiple things like having more time to sleep because you dont have to worry about waking up early to beat the morning traffic like my mom and plenty of other people do. At the end of the day you will be able to get home quicker so you can spend more time with your family and do stuff you usually cant because of the time you spend at traffic.
My last reason is a very important reason and it is simply "safety". Think about it, it is simply just common sense. if they are less cars in the road at one time then the chances of car accidents decreases. Now i dont know about you but that sounds like a win win to me. One theres less accidents so theres less people in the hospital so they dont have hospital bills to worry about and less accidents means less traffic as well. And also if you ban the cars for a day or have one of them "car-free" cities you have less drunk drivers; one because they dont have a car so they will probably just drink at home and two if the bar or where ever is that there going to drink is close enough then they can just "walk" there sober and "walk" back to the house drunk instead of being in a car a causing a fatal accident.
Ultimately i feel that the usage of cars should be limmited because of many reasons. This reasons are as follows. Less car pollution. living in a car-free city so you are able to walk everywhere. Less traffic, less commute time, having more time to do stuff. and last but not least the safety of drivers. personally i think we should supervise the usage of automobiles and have more "car-free" cities and have days where car usage is baned or restricted by some amount.

[/INST] Cars are a basic need for people today we use them to go from point A to point B in the fastest way posible. But one must ask themselves "do i really need the car?", "would i be better off without one?", how do you tell people that what they have depended on for movement could be hurting them. I believe that cars should have a limited usage in cities because cars affect our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas, they cause smog to form around cities, and cause us to move through life at the fastest pase posible. A limited car usage would change the way we see the world its beauty, its adventersm, and we would be able to save the world from our distruction.
There is a community in Germany called Vauban where people have given up their cars. 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, 57% sold their cars just to move to Vauban, "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much hapier this way," media trainer and mother of two Heidrun Walter says in the artical "In German Subuerb, Life Goes On Without Cars,". Also the artical states that passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and responsible for up to 50% in the United States. Vauban houses up to 5,500 resident within a rectangular square mile, which makes it posibly the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life, stores are placed just a short walk away so that no car is needed.
Smog; a thick layer of black fog that hurts your lungs and can even kill you. Paris had to ban driving due to smog , cars with even numbered license plates would not be allowed to drive one day and the following day cars with odd numbered license plates would not be allowed to drive. 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters and 27 people had their cars impounded due to their reaction to the fine. This statement from the artical "Paris bans driving due to smog," show that cars are responsible for a gas that can kill people, and that people dont respond well to being told what to do. In one week the ban was lifted because the smog had cleared enough but not all the way, just a week of limited car usage cleared the skys imagin what a year of it would do.
Cars have us going the fastest we can and people have started to live that way through life. In Bogota they have a day free of cars every years like its a holiday. People left their keys on the counter and insted hiked, biked, skated and took the bus. Even in the rain people didnt use their cars, " The rain hasnt stopped people from participating," says Bogata Mayor Antanas Mockus. Businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza says " Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,". The quotes from the artical " Car free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," show that with out cars people feel realeved of stress and are able to have a good time.
In conclusion limited car usage would help us presurve the world and create a enviroment that could help people aswell. Cars are one of the most used products in the world people might not want to give up their cars but eventually might have to. Smog and greenhouse gas are caused by car overuseage and hurt the enviroment and people. Limited car usage is posably the only answer to helping the world live longer aside from buying a hybrid car.

[/INST] The things you can do to help yourself, and others is just don't drive ride a bike, or take public transportation. Never the less having a car is a great responsiblitiy, like driving the right way, and not driving reckless. That could end up bad, because you know how law enforcement is they will pull you over for anything. Then on top of that they will give you a big fat nasty ticket to pay, so that really ruins what you have to like pay your bills or something. Plus its always better to just take public transportation, because trying to get a car that's worth $40,000, isn't even worth it, if your still paying for it, then you will have to take really good care of that car.
The car is at its lowest did you know that, because nobody buys them anymore, or nobody gets there permit. Cars are becoming nothing anymore, the roads America bulit will be soon for nothing. Like I said your better not buying a car, then spending all that money, and you have to spend more money on it later, Like if you get a ticket, or you have to pay to get it fix. Pointless absolutly pointless cause most people just uses cars to get from A to B, nothing else like what's the point of having a car if your not going to use it all the time might as well just take a bus, and spend like 50 cents, or something.
If you really want a car, at least use it instead of just showing it off, and letting it dust in your driveway, or garage. People in other countries like say Germany, all they use is bikes. They live a life without cars, and look at them saving all that money, and what if it is a poor country at least there not greedy and selfish. Also the cars are literally a poison to the enviorment, we are literally killing off our enviorment, and for what the nicest car that you have and probably won't even use that's pretty dumb as if i should say. Having a car, and showing it off doesn't make you cool it make's you look like a selfish greedy person who could have nothing else to spend his, or her money on but who am I to judge right? Soon you will realize that all that money you spent was all just a waste, and you could have done somethimg else better to spend it on.
I'm not saying don't buy a car, Like I mean don't buy the most expensive car ever cause like that's just herendous. Like just buy something that's nice and cheap like maybe a Nissian not a Ferrari. Imagine if you run out of money what are you going to do ask people to help, Your going to have that fancy car, and be like "oh what will i do". You will realize that you messed, and that when you were being all selfish and greedy, nobody will care to help you. It's like all these other regular people who use there money wisley and not be selfish. The car is nearly at it's end cause soon there will be no more gas, what will you do. It's at the time where you make your own desisions, and think about do I really want to spend my money on a car, or do I want to be smart and ride the bus, or a bike and save my money and help the enviorment.

[/INST] My fellow citizens, there are many reasons why we all should depend less on our cars as a way to travel or to get to one place to anouther. One of the many reasons is that there are some neighborhoods that are doing it so that their families can not drive a car and if they do they have to pay money, and there are already many places that are doing car free days or somethimg like that.
According to Elisabeth Rosenthal there is a city in germany named VAUNBAN were they can not use cars and if they do use cars then they would have to park it in a place that is very far away and they would have to pay a total of $40,000 to buy that parking space this is better because there are many ways that polution can polute the earth and we do not want that to happen.
Also there are many places that are doing car free days in which the citizens must not use there cars and ride the busses to work so that there izs less polution. this is good because there will be a major decrease in polution which is good for the earth and also good for the soul.
In conclusion i think that there should be less places for cars to drive and polute the world and mother earth and you should to.

[/INST] Cars are very important to the life of a modern person. The car gets you where you need to go in the time that you want to go in. There are ways to limit car usage and still get your transportation to where you need to go. There are some advantages to not using cars all the time. One advantage is that if we stop using cars, then pollution will drop drastically. Another advantage to us not using cars is that we get plenty of exercise while we do other things than just sit in our cars.
Paris, France. Known for being the city of love, but doesn't have a certain love for cars. They banned car usage after days of nearrecord pollutionsource 2 paragraph 10. In order to make sure that the residents don't use their cars still the placed a 22euro fine 31 for anyone still drivingsource 2 paragraph 11. After only just a few days, congestion was down almost 60 percent in the capital of France source 2 paragraph 14. In the United States, most kids these days aren't driving as much as they used to. They are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses each year source 4 paragraph 29. If this keeps up, then lot of sociologist think that this will have a huge effect on the environment, which will lead to the end of pollution problemssource 4 paragraph 34. This advantage of having less car usage will not only help the earth, but it also will help the things on the earth including us humans and animals.
The final advantage that limiting car usage is that we will have plenty of exercise. A mother of two that had a car but the sold it in Germany said " When i had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way"source 1 paragraph 3. She usually walks down the street to and from wherever she goes. exercising is great for your health and you can just start by walking, biking, skating, roller blading and many more ways to get to where you need to go. In Bogota, Columbia millions of people hiked , biked, skated, or took buses to work source 3 paragraph 20. "It's good opportunity to take away stress..." source 3 paragraph 24 said businessman Carlos arturo Plaze when he was asked about the banning of cars for the third straight year in Germany source 3 paragraph 24. Stress isn't good for your health and excercising is great on removing that stress from your body. Excersisng is a great advantage to limited car usage because you reduce stress, work out, and feel better all while you get to where you need to go at the same time.
The advantages that everyone gets from limited car usage is that the pollution will go down, and you get better exercise. If pollution goes down then you will have a better earth for everyone to enjoy, but you can't enjoy the earth if it's congested with polutted air. You also get great exercise when you walk, bike, skate to wherever you need to go instead of sitting in a car to go to your destination. These are only some of the advantages that you get when you choose to limit your car usage, but there are plenty more that you will experience as soon as you limit the usage of cars.

[/INST] "My fellow americans," a phrase said by many important people, like current president Barack Obama, implicates that the speaker is trying to portray a message. So I use that phrase for a reason, "My fellow americans, there has been a current movement to limit the amount of time a person spends driving." There are many advantages to limiting car use, that could make a big difference in the amount of greenhouse gases.
Take Vauban, Germany for example, a neighborhood where 70 percent of its residents do not own a car. This neighborhood follows a growing trend across the world, and is flourishing. Source 1 states, "In the United States, the environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously." This statement is a perfect example of this growing trend. If many suburbs follow vaughn's example, then the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere will plummet. This will then cause the ozone to repair itself and global warming can be stopped. Source 1 also states, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States." This statistic is shocking! If the United States is responsible for a majority of the greenhouse emissions, then why has the United states done nothing to fix this. This is not the only example of this growing trend.
Another example is Paris in 2014. Due to the abundance of smog in the air, Paris banned driving cars for a limited amount of time. This fixed their problem, but Paris removed the ban after only one week. Source 2 states, "The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for oddnumbered plates on Tuesday." Why would France stop the solution to their smog problem. The answer is, loss of revenue. Many companies during this ban lost revenue due to not being able to deliver their goods. Source 2 also states, "Diesel fuel was blamed, since france has... a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe." This is a key factor in France's smog problem, and could be stopped by making a law limiting car usage.
One influential example is Bogota, Columbia. The citizens of Bogota have a tradition called "the Day Without Cars." They have been honoring this tradition for three years straight, and other countries around them are starting to take notice of its effects. Source 3 states, "For the first time, two other Columbian cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event." This statement shows how much of a pressing matter smog is to normal ppeople around the world. Source 3 also states, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." A day without cars not only helps the enviroment, it also mentally helps a person. If this could lower stress world wide, then less people would suffer from stress related injuries. Source 3 states, "... and new restaurantsd and upscale shopping districts have croped up." This tradition also helps the economy and can lower the percentage of people under the poverty line by creating jobs and helping people start their own business.
Three examples of cities or countries that have, at one time, stopped the usage of cars were shown in this essay. If all of the benefits from limting car use, like strengthening the economy, are true, then why has the world not caught on to this idea and helped it flourish. This essay has shown the benefits of limiting car use, but it is up to you to make a difference.

[/INST] Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without a car? May of us can't even seem to grasp the concpet. So many America's are too dependant on their vehicles but, other places across the world such as; Germany, Paris, and Bogota have began working on this new concept. I strongly support the idea of no car usuage, just think of the benefits that could come from it, conservation of rescourses, lowered pollution, improved safety, and just think of all the money you would save without a car. The possiblities are endless.
Pollution and bad air are problems we face all around the world, and cars have much to do with it. "If the pattern persists- and many sociologists believe it will- it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment" (Source 4: The end of Car Culture). Intense pollution and bad health are problems that are faced all around the world, imagine the positive effects we would see not only in our enviroments but in our own selves if we stop car usage. We need to protect the world we live it by keeping it clean, also keep ourselves healthy in order for survival.
Many families lose loved ones every year due to vehicle related accidents, cars and traffic have a good percentages of deaths each year. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capitol of France, after five-days" (Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog). Congestions has to do with traffic, adults complain every day about traffic and how dangerous it is. "It's a good was to take away stress" (Source 3: Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota). We spend a lot of our lives streesing over many things, why add the stress of traffic and wrecks? We have many more important things to spend our time worrying about, we shouldn't stress over something that we can live without. Taking away vehicles would wipe out stress, traffic, and many deaths a year.
Financal problems aren't a forgein subject. Almost everyone can recall a time in their life either when they were facing the problems themself or heard about a close friend or family memeber going through a tough time. "All of our develpoment since World War 2 has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" (Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars). Not only people but countries have been guilty of putting cars infront of other neccessities. Many young adults will base their finances around a car of their choice when we all know their are far more imporant bills to be paid. Also, with taking away the centering of cars we have time to face and solve more imporant issues. Taking out cars would give people a chance to get their priorities straight.
This is why I strongly support the idea of no cars, I see nothing but positive results that would come and many other would agree. Improved safety, lowered pollution, improved safety, and money savings are just the beginning. I understand most can't imagine life without their vehicle but change isn't always a bad thing, especially when there's many factors at stake.

Be sure to use evidence from multiple sources; and avoid overly relying on one source. Your response should be in the form of a multiparagraph essay. Write your essay in the space provided. [/INST] Since World War II, driving has been the center of everyone's mind. Do you really think driving is a necessity? Many people will say yes, but most will argue no. Limiting car usage will be great for us citizens and our very own planet Earth.
To start off, driving causes you a stressful day, but not driving will save you time and money. Gas prices are more than 2 a gallon. One car takes more or less 10 gallons. Filling your tank up will cost you around 60 or more. In my eyes, it's cheaper to take public transportation than to drive. While taking the bus or the train , all you really have to do is wait , pay to get in, find your stop, if your destination is a little farther, there can be another bus and you'll be at your stop. On the other hand, Driving, your worrying more. Your worried about if you have gas, is there a traffic jam, why is this driver driving so slow. You're getting frustrated rather than taking the public transportation. In Colombia there is this program where you dont drive for a day. "In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a carfree day yesterday, leaving streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams"Source 3. Not only did it cause a less stressful day, it allowed them to get some exercise.
Furthermore, I have a question. How many people like smoggy days? No one. Reason I asked this specific question is mainly because if you enjoy driving, you must enjoy the smog. "After days of nearrecord pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"Source 2. Although Paris has more smog than other European capitals, it isnt good for our very own health, but it isnt good for our planet either. When Paris did this "No Driving" campigan, "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after 5 days of intensifying smog"Source 2.
On the other hand, driving isn't really important as it used to be. We have all these technological advances, that honestly make driving not necessary. We all have a cell phone, we can all video chat. Some work together, some go to school together. We all can carpool. There was this quote that I read, and after doing some thinking, it made me realize that driving isn't really important as it seemed to be. "How much you drive is as important as whether you have an hybrid"Source 1. Hybrids save alot of wrong doings that we already do to this Earth. Along with eletronic cars. Driving a hybrid, yes it's saving the world but your still causing traffic, and wasting money. Some people have already quit driving. "With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession may find less reason to resume the habit." Source 4. America has went so far into the stopping of driving that on highways there's more tolls. Tolls that we can't pay to another person, tolls where they take a picture of your license, find out you information, and send you the amount you owe through the mail. Each toll is different some can be 75 cents or a 1.50. From your home to the mall, depending where you live, you'll pass by more a less 5 tolls. In total thats around I'll say 3.75 or 7.50. Public transportation saves you more money. Mall's have buses where it picks you up from a specfic location to the mall and back. That's saving you time and your money.
In conclusion, limiting car usage can be an advantage to both young, old and even to our very own planet Earth. It can help our economy, save our pollution rate, but also help us lose the weight.

[/INST] Limiting car usage has so many benefits to it, you may think "Oh my gosh, I need my car!" when in actuality this is better. Limiting car usage is great because you can save money on gas. We all know gas prices are going up, why worry when we don't need cars? Just think about how much money you spend on gas.
In addition, conserving car time can be beneficial to our health. If we don't get our lazy butts out of bed just to sit in a car and get fatter then we would be so much happier. Remember that new years resolution you made to lose more weight? Well ride a bike to work everyday, or ride a skateboard to school. We will stay in shape this way.
Not to mention, fuel creates pollution in the air, someof us are OCD about the air we breathe. By biking places, you can keep the air cleaner. Thi s is also quiter and brings us all closer. What if you biked to work with your friend instead of by yourself?
In conclusion, there are so many reasons why limiting car usage is the way to go. Think about how many times you can talk to your neighbor besides the regular "Hey, how ya doing?" when you see each other. The world can become so much closer to itself, just by not driving.

[/INST] All around the world, cars have influence our lives for the good or for the bad. Whether that is getting people to their jobs or getting into an accident. Cars have altered our lives and are doing it constantly. Although for a century cars have benefited humans greatly, cars have negative effects and banning cars can help decrease the pollution all over the world, it saves the little resoucers the planet has, and car accidents will occur less.
To elaborate more, countries all over the world are trying new ways to decrease the air pollution as much as possible, whether that is banning cars or restricting them. In Vauban, German cars are restricted and if you have a car it is very expensive to use. In Vauban, 70 percent of families do not have cars, and inorder to move in to the town 57 percent sold their cars. The idea of restricted areas are getting big ,and for Vuaban has 5,500 residents, that shows that people like the idea and will support it. People in the town have claim to enjoy it alot and are happier. In Paris, France their idea to help low the pollution in the air was to have specific licenses plats restricted on certain days of the week. France had very bad smog and within 5 days the smog decrease 60 percent. In Bogota, Columbia they had similar goals as other countries like Germany. Carlos Arturo Plaza said,"It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." In Europe cars make up 12 percent of the greenhouse gas and air pollution. In the United States Americans are driving less and the pollution in the air is decreasing, benefiting the environment. Throughout the world, countries are tring to help the world, by decreasing the pollution.
Moreover, throughout the century cars have been using non renewable resoucers and now that alot of the people have cars, it has taken a toll on the environment. The world has only so much resoucers and once its gone it is gone, it takes time for them to come back and it willl not be in our life time. Using these resoucers have a negative effect they emit carbon in to the atmosphere creating greenhouse gas, that is bad. saving the resoucers and not using them can help with keeping the atmopshere cleaner.
Now people are banning and restricting cars for various reasons, but one reason is that for the past century cars have killed alot of people. It is one of the top reasons for deaths in the United States and possibly in the world. If banning cars can save thousands of lifes why not do it. Banning cars or restricting cars means less cars which can result to less car accidents. Having less accidents results to less people getting hurt and potenially dying. Less cars can also mean that the goverment does have to focuse on roads and stuff like that ,but can focuse on improving the safty of the people on the sidewalks or at playgrounds. the funds can go to better causes.
The world we live has changed enormously and now inorder to save the plant and the people in it, we must make changes as a society, inorder to live long and healthy. Banning cars might be one of the many choices we must make inorder to live. Banning cars can help decrease the greenhouse gases, conserve the resoucers, and less people will die from car accidents. Who knows cars may be a thing in the past int he next decade or two.

Life can go on without cars. We as people do not actually need a car to survive. There are plenty of ways to get around without a vehivle. About 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars. In 2006, Vauban completion was an example of a trend growing in Europe and the United States and elsewhere to seperate suburban life from auto use. Planners would like to make cities denser and better for walking. That's why walk ways are placed on main streets andd not the main highway.
Almost 4,000 drivers were fined for driving with even numbered license plates. Twenty seven people had their car impounded because of their reactions to this fine. Car emissions were cause because of cold nights and warm days. Some people blamed fuel as a tax policy favor diesel over gasoline. Everything was going bad with vehicles and tax policies.
Less cars around the world would cause less problems. There wouldn't as many vehicle fines as there is now with less vehicles.

[/INST] Limiting car usage has great advantages wether you believe it or not. Sometimes you don't think about it but you really can do harm to ourselves by polluting the air with the gases that the car releases. There are many advantages to limiting car usage such as reducing smog,improving safety and it gets you active.
Smog can greatly affect people while they are driving. In Bogota, Colombia they have a program every year to reduce smog. Throughout the whole day people hiked,biked,skated,or took buses to get to their destination. It has been three straight years that cars have been banned in Colombia. The goal of this program is to promote alternative transportation and to reduce smog. The plan is so effective that even the rain won't stop the people from participating. This plan is set to spread to other countries. Beijing, China is one of the most polluted cities due to smog. Paris is said to have more smog than any other European capitals.
Although it may not seem like it but limiting your car usage can really improve safety. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emmisions. Everyone knows that transportation is the method of getting from point A to point B.The environment is what gives you oxygen to breath everyday. If the environment is polluted with smog it can cause danger to your health. If you just leave your car for a moment take a walk breath some fresh air you will feel better. There is 70 percent of Vauban families that do not own cars. Heidrun Walter is one of those persons that do not own a car and he says "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way:" People can live happily without cars. In the end your safety is improved because you could be saving yourself from a future health risk.
Indeed if you use a car everyday to get to your destinations you really are'nt doing anything that gets you active. Just how you have a car there are also other methods for you to get to your destinations. You can ride your bike,ride buses,or walk to your destinations too. In the mid 1990's the day without cars began in Bogota. If you really think about it cities could be built in which "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial, and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emmisions, and improve safety". This helps you to at least take a walk everyday and it would also stop the pollution to the environment.
Limiting your car usage can have great advantages. Sometimes youprobably just didn't realize it but those advantages could really have an effect in the waqy you live. There are advantages such as reducing smog, improving your safety, and getting you active.

[/INST] In the French and Swiss borders, Vauban streets are completely car free. In Vauban Germany, enforcements are very strict on car policy. Some people even have to sell their car to move there. Although, car ownership is allowed, but it is only to be parked in large garages along with a home for $40,000. Because of this 70 percent of Vauban families do not own cars.
In 2006 Vauban grew a trend in Europe of separating Suburban life from auto use to "drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes." They called this "Smart Planning."
While there had been effort to make the city denser during the past few decades, Vauban had gave 5,500 home to residents, making it less accessible to public transportation, and less space for parking. This leaded to the making of the environmental Protection Agency. This agencies promotion was to reduce car use. In the result of the agency, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highway and only 20 percent to other transport.
Germany doesn't seem to be the only one to ban cars. Driving in Paris has been ban due to smog. Paris banned driving due to near-record pollution. To confiscate, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear to air. Along with the driving ban, a fine was included too for some. On Monday motorists with even numbered liscense plates were told to leave their car at home or recieve a fine of $31. Odd plates would suffer the same consequence as well the following day. This all led to approximately 4,000 drivers being fined. After five-days of intensifying smog, conjestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france. No surprise, the diesel fuel was blamed for the incident. Accordingly it mentions diesel makes up about 67 percent of vehicles in France.
Gradually, in one week, the smog cleared enough for the ruling French party to recsind the ban for odd-numbered plates the next day.

[/INST] Smog is proof that pollution is a problem. Cars produce pollution from the combustion of gasoline which causes extreme smog in dense cities. Paris is one of the cities that has smog mostly from cars. So most cities are now trying to convince people that live there to switch from cars to buses, walking, or riding a bicycle.
Paris has recently set a partial driving band in there city because of record pollution levels that were being caused by automobiles. The smog in paris had become so intense and severe that they had to create a driving band to correctly limit the pollution being made. "...Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London."(Source 2,17). This extremly high smog ratio and prooves the pollutin from automobiles is causing the problem because after a week with the band the smog had almost cleared fully.
Colombia has the same problem as Paris. Instead of weekly baneds on even and odd licensed plated vechiles Colombia has a 100% no car day with only taxis and buses allowed into the city. This day is dedicated to help people find new ways of transportation instead of personal veichles. Any violaters of the law face a $25 dollar fine. This event is normally only in the capital of colombia and has been that way for 7 years, but this year two new cities joined in on the event (Cali and Valledupar). Because of this event 118 miles of bicycle paths and new and improved sidewalks have been constructed, so many people are able to switch from cars to bikes and walking. All of these efforts have decreased traffic and now new restraunts and shopping malls have been created. Plus there has been a signifigant decrease in smog.
America is also trying to get in on the anti-pollution ideas coming from Colombia and Paris. Since America's love for vechiles is starting to decrease they are now able to try and decrease the vehcile usage. Population growth is a high contributing factor in this because with this cities slowly become denser and denser allowing for people to be able to get to the places they need to be without a car. They can walk there along the many sidewalks in the city. In New York there is a program to share a bicycle which has increased the bridge and tunnel tolls for cars because of all the people who no longer use their cars making cars more expensive to drive. Their has also been a drop in the young adult getting their license because they simply do not need it."A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009"(Source 4, 41). Which shows most people are slowly decreasing the amount of driving they do. Driving in America is not as nesscary as it was before and it shows.
Smog is a big problem in all cities like Colombia and Paris and they are almost all taking action to decrease it and its been working. Many cities and countries goal are to decrease the amount of their citizens require driving. This will in turn cause their citizens to resort to other means of transportation and slowly decrease pollution in alot of areas. This shows why and how you can help the cause in your city by switching to non-polluting ways of traveling and how cities really do need your help to decrease pollution.

[/INST] Now, for some people, cars are a way of life. Nothing pleases them more than the feeling of a steering wheel on their hands, or the growl of a healthy engine. Those people probably could never live without their cars, but you probably can. Well, maybe not living without cars entirely, but at least reducing your use of them. It'll be a lot safer for the environment, and it'll cause a lot less traffic jams. So let's see why you can go a few more days without your prized Hoda Civic.
Now, you've probably had this fact jammed down your throat more times than you care to count, but, cars produce a lot of gas, which isn't really easy on the environment. According to the New York Times article, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States." And according to the Chicago Tribune article, "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, "Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter PM per cubic meter." So, less car usage means less greenhouse emissions. Yes, there are cars out there that are more "fuelefficient," but they still require lots of energy from the environment. Not only that, but using your car less often will mean that you won't have to deal with one of the biggest evils in the world.........traffic.
Now, think, when have you ever been stuck in traffic and actually enjoyed it? Now, if you were to ride a bicycle or take a subway, you wouldn't have to deal with that! Already, some cities around the world are finding alternative ways to avoid those jams. "Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," by Andrew Selsky, tells of how the capital of Colombia is doing so. "It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths...Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks rushhour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic and new restaraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." This means you'll be able to get to work or to that first date a lot quicker! Sure, people using less cars would strike a big blow in the automobile industry, but you don't neccesarily have to never drive a car again! What about on those long road trips, or when you have to carry a lot of passengers with you? A car would come in handy in such scenarios, but not neccesarily every scenario.
In summary, driving less would be more efficient because it means cleaner air and less highway congestion. So, after reading all of this information, do you think that you have what it takes to get from point A to point B without having to get into a driver's seat? can you take your hand off of the steering wheel long enough to open yourself up to other transportation options? Go ahead, try.

[/INST] Benifits on Limiting Car usage
Cars are one of mans geat creations but they are great because they are eassy not because they are good. In hevy populated areas cars make up about 50% of the greenhouse gas. and in just europe family cars make up 12% of green house gas. Some cars are efficient more than others but those tend to be more coastly.
First, green house gasses are a big part of the reson for global warming. Green houses also affect th ozone which could help to prevent it. Paris band driving because of how many people drive it started creating a smog and if that gets thick enough it could affect your respitory system. people who drive in countries where it was band they will be fine.
caust is a big part of beeing enviornmentaly friendly. I have a truck and it only gets about 18mpg which isnt that bad but my friends mom has a prius that gets like 40mpg and it can switch over to electricity. Cars with good fuel efficiency generaly are more expencive.
If people who have bikes ride them to say dinner once a week insted of driving they will save an amence amount of money just from not buying gas. Gas was just up to about $4.00 a gallon but now its at an all time low but we dont know when it will go back up. There are a tn of people in this world that are over waight and just walking like one a week could help.
To sum it all up, if every body just hepled out when they can the world can be a better place and maybe people can live longer.

[/INST] Lowering our car usage will be beneficial for all of us, the advantages of doing this will be huge, and will help the enviroment. Lately a lot of studies have revealed that one of the most eviroment-harming actions are the emissions that cars release into the atmosphere. If we lower our car usage we will help the enviroment of the planet we are living in, it only seems logical to do so.
One of the reasons lowering car usage would be helpful is beacause it would significantly lower gas emissions from cars. This would greatly help our enviroment. According to the text, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States.". This shows how harmful this emissions are, and why we should try to lower them.
Lowering our car usage and creating car-free suburbs or car-reduced communities would help our daily life. Driving a car every day can be stressful because of trafic and road rage.
lowering our car usage would help people relieve stress and even get some excercise. According to the text, "When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way". This shows how stress-relieving reducing car usage could be.
Also lowering car usage could be a way for the goverment to create more bicycle paths. This would be really helpful to the people who only have a bicycle as a way of transportation. According to the text,"The day without cars is part of an improvement campaing tha began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths"
There are some people that do not agree with this idea, most of them say that it would hurt the car industry. Of course it will, but this is for a greater good. So let's reduce our car usage and help our enviroment.

[/INST] In the world we live in today, cars are used by people nearly everyday. To some they are looked at as a need such as water, food, or shelter rather something we want to improve our life. Although, it may improve our lives in the particular moment to some degree, we fail to see the greater and more long-term effects from everyday car usage. The following sources reviews these effects and reveals the problems and solutions we may have to fix them.
One of the more serious and more recognized problems from car usage is the steady increase of greenhouse gas emissions produced from vehicles all over the world. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Vauban, Germany is an example of the effort being made to reduce these greenhouse gas emissions, this experimental city is trying to remain "car-free" and in doing so the city itself has to make its own changes. This basic precept is being adopted around the world by trying to compact suburbs and make them more accessible by public transportation."When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way" said by heidrun walter(source 1). With this new experiment, people are finding ways to adapt and live the changed life while others actually feel better off.
Another serious and impacting issue from car usage is the increase in smog over big named cities. In paris, after days of a near record breaking pollution, paris bans driving throughout the city in attempt to clear up the skies. Diesel fuel is looked at as main problem paris faced in cleaning out the intesifying smog, since a france tax act favors diesel over gasoline it displays an issue the france government must correct in their own wrong doings. A different look towards car usage is that recent studies show americans buying fewer cars, getting fewer and fewer licenses, and also driving less overall. If this pattern continues there will be positive reinforcements for carbon emissions and the environment, since its the 2nd largest emission producer in America. The internet brings a whole other chess piece to the game allowing kids to feel more connected with people without driving anywhere. "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety." said by Bill Ford excutive chairman of the Ford Motor Company(source 4).
A program set up in bogota, colombia is a program developed to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. "its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." said businessman carlos arturo(source 3). Sports centers and parks have also increased throughout the city;bad conditioned sidewalks have been replaced with smooth ones;rush hour restictions have been cut largely; and high class shopping districts have also been created. This program is already looked at by many countries and is being observed by the world like an exciting experiment.
There are many advantages to limiting car use and these are just few of them. Overall, the advantages observed are just from the few examples of less car use that we have, if more people look towards this problem of over used cars.

[/INST] Polution, the same thing that people have been concerning over and over, not because we can't change it, however because we can. In Germany there's an expirimental town where seventy percent of people do not use an automobile for transportation, also in Paris, France in order to reduce smog and polution. And even in Bogota, Colombia they are holding days in which millions of people go without thier cars.
The first thing about limiting car usage that typically comes up is, how would we get around? By the same means that a normal person without a car would, In fact German researchers actually attempted a study in which they created a small city that is only one square mile that houses more than five thousand people. by walking, riding a bike or skating +70% of Vauban's population go to work and school every single day without using a car. In fact, 57% of families living in Vauban say that they sold thier cars to move into into the city (Elizabeth Rosenthal).
In Paris, durring 2014 Paris repetitively reached almost record breaking levels of polution and smog. As a result of all of that smog, the city of Paris regulated the use of automobiles, this action came as a surprise to the nearly four thousand people that were fined $32 and twenty-seven people's cars were impounded due to how they reacted to the tickets. And as a result of this regulation, typically paris would have about 147 micrograms of PM (particulate matter) per cubic meter average per week, and because they regulated driving the smog levels nearly halved in Paris.
Moving to Colombia, the country of coffee and spices. In the city of Bogota the mayor holds "car free days" to reduce smog and the peoples dependance on thier cars. And in order to do so they premote the use of public and alternative transportation and actually fine all of the people that didn't comply a fee of twenty-five dollars. And even thought the fine was a mere $25 the peole responded positively and to this day people in the capital city of more than 7 million people continue to walk, bike and find new ways to get to work and school.
So all in all the tought of cutting back on using cars seems like a good idea that could not only fix the worlds dependance on oil and fossil fuels but also help people get back into shape.

[/INST] There was a time when cars were a new invention that everyone wanted or needed, but as of recent years cars have found themselves on the decline. There are many speculated reasons as to why people aren't as interested in getting a car and driving themselves around. One of the main theories seems to be that with new technological advancements are making carpools simple organize and knowing when and where the closest city bus will arrive easier to find out. Also, the technology of today makes it easy to contact and feel connected with your friends without having to go out and see them. Whatever the reason may be, the decline in car usage is a great advantage worldwide. The benefits of limited car usage are a better environment, less traffic stress, and healthier people.
Cars are the second most common source of air pollution in the United States. In Paris, cars were so heavily used that their pollution levels were near those of Beijing, China known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. When Parisians heard this, they took action right away. They rotated day long bans on personal cars with even numbered license plates and odd numbered licence plates. After about a week of this rotating ban, with a few exceptions, the smog levels had lowered enough that all cars could be allowed again. Luckily, this experience made the people of Paris realize how much cars were harming their environment. Cars are a large source of carbon emissions all over the world so lessening their use is essential to reviving our hurting environment.
Another advantage to limiting the use of cars is less traffic and less accidents. Public transportation drivers are more skilled and practiced than everyday drivers. Arguably, they are safer behind the wheel than your average citizen. In addition to that, having less cars on the road makes it safer to walk, bike, skateboard, or even rollerblade to your destination. Also, less cars means less traffic. Although on public transportation there are bus stops and such, traffic jams would be nearly eradicated if there were that many less cars on the road.
The last important advantage of having fewer cars is a personal health benefit. Driving can be seen as stressful. You have your life as well as the lives of people around you in your hands. Not only can the concept of driving itself be stressful, but things such as reckless drivers and heavy traffic are very hard for people to deal with patiently and safely. It would be better for people's emotional health to not have to deal with driving. Avoiding cars is also better for people's physical health in both cleaner environments and more physical activity. With the lessened levels of polution, as mentioned before, people would have cleaner air to breathe and a healthier environment to live in. The amount of physical activity in citizens would also increase. With people being able to walk, bike, skateboard, etc. to their desired destination the obesity numbers would decrease. Without cars, people's emotional and physical health would largely improve.
Overall, limiting the global use of cars would greatly benefit people worldwide. Due to the recent spread of the idea of being carfree and more concious of our environment pollution levels are already decreasing. Advantages coming from a much needed decreae in car usage also include safer roads and less stressed, healthier people. A decline in the number of personal vehicles on the road would lead to a happier, safer, and healthier world.

[/INST] In German suburb, this is a "car-free" place, this may seem shocking to many for people who use cars to go where they need to everyday... Car ownership is only allowed in two places; large parking garages at the edge of development, where a car owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home. Some say that it's good for the earth due to the bad pollution. As I move along I will give some of my honest opinnion and some opinions of others.
Some countries around the world is trying to put an end to polluting the earth and one of the ways they did that was to ban driving cars. People would think that as crazy but it is actually a brilliant idea because it would lessen the Ozone whole that is being crerated by polluting. We actaully need this Ozone hole to protect us from the dangerous sun rays. Another reason why they are putting an end to cars is the dangerous smogs that have been filling the cities.
My honest opinions on this subject matter is I think it's creative in a way but I don't like it just because of how much I have to travel everyday. First I go to school of course, then I go home then I drive to practice which is a 30 minute drive, that also means driving all the way home too. I also think this is creative in some ways because first it saves gas money since gas prices are going up soon due to economy. Second of all it help lessen the pollution we are doing to the earth.
Some other people have writen their own opinions on this "car-banning" process. A mother of two who is also a media trainer name Heidrun Walter gave her honest opinion of this "car-banning". "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Another man name David Gold berg, an offical of Transportation for America said "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change.
Although our development is changing it may have a good effective role on our earth. Ask yourself next time is it really worth the drive?

Legislators are starting toact like they are cautious.
One reason the cities without cars are better is because cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. diesel fuel was blamed since france has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up sixty seven percent of vehicles in frane, compared to a fifty percent average of diesel engines in the rest of western Europe.
Paris typically has more smog than the other countries so that means they have more cars. cars produce way too much smog because of automobiles. we should all just stop driving cars when its not necessary because the earth is gonna become trash because of it. public transit was free of charge from friday to monday according to BBC.

[/INST] The number of positive connotations that limiting car usage around the world would have on society is infinite. It would lower congestion, promote more healthy and efficient means of travel, and it would reduce emissions by a very large factor. People around the world are turning towards methods of transportation that do not monopolize on the automobile. Maybe one day cars will be pass?
According to a study in Paris, congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after prohibiting driving for a few days, and fining those who disregarded the experiment. Less congestion led to less road noise, which, in turn, made people "happier." It created a safer environment for children and parents alike. Having fewer cars on the road encouraged people to go outside whenever they could. Citizens of Vauban, a city in Germany, are taking this newfound peacefulness to an extreme. Driving is forbidden in their city and there are not any available parking spaces in the event that they still own a car! Vauban is an example of a city that was built based on "smart planning." More communities are adopting this ideal and try to have everything located within walking distance of a person's home. This encourages people to get to where they need to go without the use of an automobile. People nowadays also have the technology to communicate with others electronically, so that reduces the need for an automobile to get from point A to point B. Why waste the time and money on gas to communicate with someone when you could send them an email or text for a low cost in a matter of seconds?
This being said, limiting car usage promotes public transportation services. In Bogota, 118 miles worth of bicycle paths have been built in an effort to steer people away from automobiles. This encourages people to get from place to place via a healthy and fun means of transport. Undoubtedly, people are more likely to stay close to home without the accessibility of cars, so limiting the use of cars saves the time that would be spent on the roads.
Limiting car usage has major benefits when it comes to carbon emissions and environmental problems. President Obama has wanted to curb the United States' emissions and so far his goal is a success. Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Smog has been severely reduced in countries around the globe since plans to limit car usage have gone into effect.
Limiting car usage might seem like something that "would be good in theory," and it will definitely be a hard thing for today's generation to wrap their head around, but the positive impacts it would have on society are limitless. Congestion and emissions would be reduced, time spent commuting would be saved, and the world would be a much safer place to live in overall. Limiting car usage everywhere is definitely something to think about.

[/INST] Many people today don't have cars. More people like to walk or ride a bikes. In Vauban, Germany 57% sold their car to move here. Out of the 57% a feww eople just loves being without a car. In Paris they enforced a parial driving ban to clear up the air of the city. In other places the city in Dogota, Colombia had a car free day. Residents of this upscale community ar sunurban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives hvae given up their cars.
The problem with this world is pollution. If more people rode their bikes, skateboards, or evene walked to whereever they are going it wouldn't be as harsh on the planet. if people stopped driving cars around we probably have more people living longer today. But we don't, so i think no one will stop driving cars and kill this beautiful planet. Durning the "car-free" day in Source 2, it tells how if you are caught driving you will be fine. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined. People just doesn't care now a days about what we can cause in the future. Beijing, China is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. In a program thats set to spread to other countries, millions of Colomians hiked, biked, skated or took the bus to work durning a car-free day, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily dovoid of traffic jam. It was the thrid straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the day without cars in the capital city of 7 million. The goal is to promote smog. Violators faced $25 fines. The turnout was large, despite gray clouds the dumped occasional rain shower on Bogota. Street parking, Driveways and home gargages are genarlly forbidden in this experimental new district on the sidewalks are not allowed and no running on the grass.
President Obama's ambitous goals to curb the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, unveiled last week, will get a fortuitous assist from an incipient shift in American behavior. Recent studies suggest the Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. That has left reseachers pondering a fundamental question. Has America passed peak driving? As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9% below the peak and equal to where the country was in january 1995. If the pattern persists and many sociologists believe that it will have benefical implications for carbon emissions. Many teens just are that into the whole driving thing that they rather sit in a room all day and play their games with other poeple on line. I know many of kids that go home and right when they get in the house they are all ready on the game. Its just carzy how someone can just sit down all day and play and play and play on a game that isn't really that fun.
As a result in the car world. Cars are hurting the earth and we need to stop it. we need to stop driving everywhere and start walking. besides, most Americans need exisues. So come on America, get off the couch and lets start moving.

[/INST] Car usage around the world is causing an increase in pollution, greenhouse gas, and obesity. Cities have had to shut down roads and ban driving just to clear the pollution in the air due to car usage.
This is why the world must put limitations on car usage. If we limit the usage of cars we will be rewarded with numerous benefits, such as: better health, clean cities, and new relationships, in turn.
"But cars take us everywhere we need to go and fast! Why should we not use them?!" Many people exclaim when first hearing about this idea. While getting to your destination fast, you begin to speed up everything around you. Trying to get everything over with as fast as possible. For example, a teenager is driving home, he notices he has 5 extra minutes because he was speeding, and he feels hungry. So what will he do? He will go drive through a McDonalds and get his dinner. Now, not only has he added to greenhouse gas and the pollution of his city, he is also polluting his body. Another downfall of the use of cars is safety. Millions of car accidents happen every single year killing thousands of people. Cars give stupid people too much power and speed then they need. You would not experience a bike crash or public transit bus crash as often as you would a car crash. Cars don`t just affect personal safety, they endanger your city. Driving hundreds of cars around one area will definitely lead to the collection of fuel emissions ehich in turn produces smog. Paris, France had to put a restriction on car usage because of the fact that the city`s air was covered in smog. Who on earth wants to live in a city of smog. The restriction acted as a test, to see if they could omit fuel emissions and help reduce the smog. So, one day all the even licensed plates were banned from driving while, the next day all the odds were banned from driving. This plan worked so well it didn`t last more than a couple of days. Car usage is a big issue worldwide and it needs to be stopped.
"Wouldn`t the limitation of car usage be a waste of cars?" No. the answer is plain and simple no. Countries worldwide are taking action to wean people off of using personal cars. In Bogota Colombia, they have the Day Without Cars, a holiday in which you can not, at any time , use your automobile. The city of 7 million all use bicycles, and other forms of non technological transportation to move around the city. People who do not participate will be subject to paying money.
This day has caused new bike paths to be built, parks, sport centers to grow more popular, and decreases the air pollution of Colombia. Another country taking part in the no car festivities is Germany. In Vauban you will experience a "car free" community. This town has stores built within walking distance, and offers public transport to travel around the town. "I`m much happier this way" said a german mother of 2. She walks the town and speaks of the noises she hears such as the "swish of bicycles" and "chatter of children". The limitation of the cars has brightened the communtiy as a whole and allowed for it`s residents to be more happy and healthy as they walk or bike most places. Also, studies show that happiness and good health are directly related so while fixing the negative effects of car use you are also stopping the vicious cycle of obesity .
Over all, the world would be a much better place without a high usage of cars. These new ideas and innovations are testing the ideals of a car free society and frankly, they are getting positive results. Without cars, the world would be a much cleaner, healthier and happier place for all.

[/INST] Imagine life with little to no cars, think of all the sites that you will see because now you walk everywhere you go. Think of all the people you will meet along every corner, when you go to the mall, the grocery store, and on your way to a friend's house. You will notice and appreaciate things you haven't before, this idea is all thanks to a suburban town in VAUBAN, Germany. Now, we will be able to enjoy the sites of our surroundings and the people in it, produce less gas emissions, and a better outlook on the future.
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" said Heidrun Walter, a resient of VAUBAN, Germany. Getting rid of our cars may sound like a scary thought but in reality it can bring great things to us. When we stop bundling ourselves up in our automoblies we get to explore the world better, we get to touch and smell the things around us and appreaciate them. We advance our knowledge on the things and people around us because of walking to our daily commute or day off. We also meet new people, around every corner will be a new face, maybe they or you will ask for help and from there spark a friendship. You'll find a sea of people that have the same interest as you or don't but because we no longer rely on cars we are introduced to the world more and are truly exposed to the people and things in it, giving us a better understanding of where we live and all that it has to give to us.
Global warming, we hear about it a lot especially today where green house emissions are high, however, when we reduce the usage of cars the world, along with us benefit.
In Paris, after days of near- record pollution a partial driving ban was in order to "clear the air of the global city." "Four thousand driver were fined and twenty- seven people had their cars impounded for the reaction to the fine.", by Monday the smog had cleared enough and the French party rescinded the band for odd numbered plates on Tuesday. Meanwhile in BOTOGA, Colombia, it has been the third straight year that cars have been banned in the hope to promote alternative transportation and smog. This event has been so successful that "for the first time two other Colombian cities,Cali and Valledupar, joined the event." We all dream to live a long, happy life but in order to do so we need to treat our Earth right. When we reduce our usage of cars we can fulfill this dream.
"Parks and sport centers also have bloomed throught the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." Imagine living in a new nice community, better economy, and better health. With all the walking and biking everywhere we are faced with physical workouts, benefitting considering that America is considered the most obese nation. And with all the walking and biking, stores are made closer to walking distance instead of on a distant highway, bring in more consumers. Without cars there is less deaths due to them aswell. In result, we have a better look into the future then we might have if we didn't decide to get rid of cars.
In conclusion, getting rid of cars would benefit the world and the people in it entirely. We would we more aware of our surroundings and citizens, reduce global warming, and have a better future to look upon.

[/INST] There are many differant reasons to limit car usage, the most well-known reason being that it will greatly reduce air pollution. Several places incuding Vauban Germany, Paris, Bogota Colombia, and the United States have proven this, especially Paris. Paris at one point in 2014, had to enforce a partial driving ban purely because of the hazzardous smog caused by air pollution. In doing so Paris relatively quickly cleared the majority of the smog, and realized how this can also help to reduce road congestion. The United States are another, larger example of how much limiting car use can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Another good reason for limiting car usage would be that it will generally reduce stress in people. Limiting or lowering the usage of automobiles anywhere can help reduce stress mainly because people won't have to worry as much about traffic, maintanence & repair costs, air polution, or even the general dangers of driving a vehicle. Almost everyone knows that less stress is a good thing because of how it helps your health, therfore, limiting how much you drive is will not only improve your health by reduceing how stressed you are, but it will also help you to be healthier because it reduces the overall polution in the air.
So in the end limiting automobile/car usage will be advantagous for the earth, and every country or nation on it because of how it reduces stress, promotes health, and reduces greenhouse emmisions around the world.

[/INST] Cars, they help us get from point A to B in a shorter amount of time, but at what cost. Cars are a large source of stress, produce large ammounts of pollution, and seem, even now, to be going out of style. Cars are a luxury, not a necessity, and now they might not even be as usefull. More and more people are putting down the car keys and choosing instead to take a bike or bus. Cars are just too stressful to be a necesity.
In Vauban, Germany, many people are giving up engines. According to the
New York Times,
"70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars," showing that life can go on efficiently even without a car. Life might actually improve without those money eating tanks. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" says Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two. This car free philosophy is even becoming a trend! There are hundreds of groups in the United States promoting communities that are more independent of cars, called "car reduced" communities. But stress isn't the only thing cars produce. Cars are huge contributers to pollution, and reducing car usage would greatly benifit the enviornment.
Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50 percent is some car-intensive areas in the united states, acording to the
New York Times . Paris actually enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city after days of near-record pollution. The ban was enforced with a $31 fine. Even with 4,000 drivers fined, congestion was down 60 percent and the smog cleared enough that the ban could be lifted the next day. Using more enviornmentally inclined sources of transportation will deffinetly help leave a cleaner planet for future generations, and the generations already here. Cars are conveinient for short term gratification, but the long term effects might devastate the enviornment. Cars are not needed, and might not even be prefered for much longer.
A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009 in the united states. Bogota, Colombia even becan a "car-free day" in wich all cars, besides busses and taxis, are banned in this capital city of 7 million for an entire day. Violaters of this ban are fined $25. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman Carlos Plaza. This event is even starting to spread. For the first time two other Colombian cities have joined the event. Using cars is becoming less and less common, and it's a trend the enviornment can enjoy.
In conclusion, cars are a hiderance. Cars are stressful and cumbersome objects, getting rid of them would help reduce stress in the population. Cars are high contributers to pollution, creating smog and causing problems. Also, cars are a comodity that is being used less and less. People are putting down the car keys and picking up a bike. So why not join the trend?

In the first selection In german suburb, life goes on without cars the author Elisabeth Rosenthal states " 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move there." In other words they either had a car but sold it to move or they never had a car to begin with.
In selection 2, it talks about how people are not evven allowed to drive cars on certain days of the week. In paragraph 2 the authour says "On Monday motorists with even numbered license plates are ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine."
The final 2 selections discuss how studies show that people in America are driving less and less as time passes by. In my opionion I think we shoud do whatever we think is right.

[/INST] Limiting car usage has many advantages. The most important advantage is reducing pollution. Vehicles emit greenhouse gasses from their tailpipe. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse has emissions in Europe.... and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States", as said in source one, In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars.
One of the main reasons the pollution is so bad in Europe is because of the diesel fuels. According to Reuters, "Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to 53.3 percent average in the rest of Western Europe. Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter, Brussels had 114, and London had 79.7. The numbers show that there is a direct correlation between the percent of diesel used, and the amount of pollution in an area.
Limiting car usage also helps cities grow. In Bogota, 118 miles of bicycle paths were constructed. Along with parks and sports centers blooming up, side walks have been replaced. Even new restraints and shopping districts have been built. And on top of all this, traffic has been majorly reduced. As said in the exerpt, Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota , "These people are generating a revolutionary change." Not only does reducing the amount of cars help the environment, it's better for your health. Pollution doesn't only affect the environment, it also damages the body. As the air gets polluted by greenhouse gas emissions, you breath in that air. And that contaminated air is the same contaminated air that is being cycled throughout our body. On top of that, reducing the usage of vehicles would force you to find a new way to get to your destination. You might resort to walking, jogging, bike riding, skating, or anything else you could think of. Limiting car usage would force you to exercise, which is obviously very beneficial to one's health.
Another advantage of limiting vehicle usage is the money that would be saved. Limiting vehicle usage would result in not buying gas as often. And as expensive as gas can get, that would would be a lot of money saved. If you went as far as selling your vehicle, there's even more money that you would benefit from.
So there are many advantages that result from limiting vehicle usage. For one, it reduces pollution, which is bad for the environment, as well as our health. Secondly, it would force us to exercise more. And lastly it would save us a lot of money.

[/INST] For some people having a car is a neccesity, but for others it can just be stressful. I believe it is much safer with out cars. There would be less accidents ,
less pollution and it would save people a lot of money .
In Paris they had to enforce a partial driving ban to clear the smog. If there were drivers out on the road they got fined. This didnt stop everyone, there was counts of 4,000 people being fined for driving. Just five days after the partial ban congestion went down 60 percent.
Just Imagine if five days of no driving caused congestion to go down 60 percent, how much would it go down if cars were eleminated all together.
There are some disadvantages to not having a car. Such as not being able to get where you need to go on time, biking or walking far places, getting sweaty before work or school ect.
Driving can also be very stressful, for example when businessman Carlos said "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,". This statement suggest that it is stressful to drive a car.
In conclusion, I would definitally want to have a car so i could get where i needed to go on time. I would also like to reserve the car only if i really needed to use it.

[/INST] Cars are one of the most important reason why global warming exists and there will be alot of more benefits if thye limited the car usage. Global warming is affecting everyone and is getting worst every single day and we have to do something now before is to late. Cars in cities like Los Angeles they are a problem becuase they are alot more cars then people. Citizens should limit the usage of cars because people will survive without cars and driving causes pollution to Earth.
Germany uses suburb to reduce the car usage and make more people walk or use bicycles to go where they want to go. Vauban's streets are completely car free except the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freibrug runs, and a few streets on one edge of the community. As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. I'm much happier this way, said Heidrum walter, as she walked verdant streets. Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use. Passengers cars ar e responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United States. In the Unite States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting car reduced communities, and legislators are starting to act. People can do just as good without cars.
Paris bans car drivers due to the smog an pollution that the cars cause. On monday motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22 euro fine ($31). THe same would apply to odd numbered plates the following day. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined and 27 people had their cars impouded for their reaction to the fine. Congestion wasa down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five days of intensifying smog. The smog cleared enough Monday for ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd numbered plates on tuesday. President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States greenhouse gas emissions, recent studies suggest thta Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as year goe by.
In conclusion, people can live their normal life without cars and this will help the ecosystem that is getting affected every single day. Alot of places are banning cars to help reduce the green house problem. Government should build more car free communities because citizens like the idea and its helping Earth. Citizens should limit the car usage to help the Earth.

[/INST] Vauban, Germany is the place to be it has an upscale community and has a few soccer moms nice huh? Street parking in Vauban, Germany is forbidden in what they call an experimental new district near Freiburg and Swiss Borders.
To begin with, In Vauban, Germany most families don't own cars but 57 are sold when new families and other people move there. Cars or automobiles as the german like to call it are linchpin of suburbs which mean they're affordable. Most middle class families tend to stay around the Shanghai area. Studies show that 12 percent of gas emissons are because of passenger cars. Also up to 50 percent are cars in intensive area.
Next, Paris on the otherhand is typically more smog then other euro capitals. Paris once had 147 of particulate matter per cubic meter compared to brussels in London, Reuters.
Last, Delivery Companies often argue that they lost to much revenue, later in the week they made plug in cars and hybrids carrying over 3m passengers.
In Conclusion, The so called smog cleared enough throughout the week it cleared out good enough to where they could have a ruling French party in Paris to dicuss the ban for out-numbered plates on Tuesday. Vauban often don't own cars but Heidrun says he's so happier with having a car he had always felt tense.

[/INST] Has it ever seem hotter than it usually has to you? The sun's heat just burning the skin on your body. Does it feel like if you want to get any where you have drive in a car because it's to far to walk? Cars are our main source of transportation but it is not helping our environment. Gas that is used in cars send off green house gas emissions that hurt the ozone layer, a layer of gas in the stratosphere that protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Many cities have started becoming car free because of this harm to the environment.
One of the cities that has become car free is Vauban, Germany Source 1. This city has found a way to become car free so that it is good for the environment and people can still go to stores or their jobs. What this city does is they make suburbs more compact and make store easily a walk away from a store. It mentions in Source 1 that Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of green house gas emissions. In the United states it is at 50%. All those green house emissions put a hole in the ozone layer making it hotter around the world and letting the ultraviolet rays from the sun hit our body which can cause skin cancer. The design of Vauban is used to structure other cities allowing those cities to use less cars.
The acumilation of smog can be very dangerous. in Source 2 in talks about Paris having to ban driving due to the amount of smog in city. The people driving would be fined 22 euro. The congestion of the smog dropped 60% because of the ban on driving. Source 2 states that France uses diesel fuel instead of regular gasoline due to a tax policy. Diesel makes up 67% percent of vehicles in France. Diesel fuel is harsher than regular gasosline to the ozone layer because it uses different chemicals and burns quicker than regular gasoline.
In Source 4 it talks about the United States using less cars than normal. In April 2013 the number of miles driven per person dropped by 9 percent compared to the past. It also states that the amount of young people driving has dropped 23% between 2001 and 2009. This drop in amount of people driving is very good due to green house gas emissions being the second largest source behind power plants. This drop in cars driven also causes less harm to the ozone layer. Source 4 also says that because of technology and the internet people do not have to drive to see and speak with each other. Instead they can email, call, or text each other.
To conclude, with people driving less cars it becomes better for the environment. It allows less smog to build up and hurt the ozone layer allowing ultraviolet rays to harm us. Cities will be designed differently to acomdate the fact of using less cars by making jobs and stores closer to houses.

[/INST] No more cars. Cars are one of the many problems of the world. It's slowly but steadly kill us or the world. Thats why i say no more cars.
If we were to get rid of carsall over the world we would have such a better enviorment. Wouldnt you want a better enviorment for you and the younger generation to see. One of the main things that is polluting our cities is gas. More perpheribly diesal. There are over a thousand cars being driven in one city and all that gas that is used spreads to thye enviorment and causes deformation to our wild life. Many people dont realize that when diesal gas comes out of your exaust is a thick black smock that stays in that area for at least five minutes. Also when people get oil leaks they always say i'll get it checked tomorrow but never do and when they do get it checked the are leaking oil all over the street to get to the shop to get it fixed.
No more deaths would come of car accidents. Think about is every day you see something in the news about a car accident weather its car on car or someone being it by cars. cars cause alot of deaths in the world because people dont realize the amount of power they have and are always tring to impress. Hiting someone with your car expecially a child can scare a man for life because everyday when he gets in that car he is reminded of that day. Also think about all of the robberies. There wouldnt be much of that happening because they wouldnt be able to make a fast escame to get away with it. There is another thing solved by taking away cars, less criminals.
Less obese people would be living in the world because the wouldnt be able to get in their moterized vehicle to go to places. they would have to walk and even if there taking the train they are at least walking some where to get to that train. What if trains werent aloud either? You would definatly have less people over weight because they would be riding bikes or walking some where or if there late for something they wold run . Bogata has already made one hundred and eighteen miles of bicycle paths.
Birds cherping all over the city. Getting ride of cars would reduce the sound level and would allow wild life to come in to the cities. Wouldn't that be great, just wlking down the street minding your own buisness and you notice out of the corner of your eye a little doe, so elegant and piecefull as it walks down the street. I do know that not all animals are nice and friendly like bears and wolves but the occasional rare bird that flies past you on your way to work, wouldn't you rather see that than a cloud of black smoke come out of the exaust of the diesal truck infront of you. I know I would.
No more cars I say. No more. I want to see wildlife not smoke. I want to see a man that has lost one hundred pounds in the last year from riding his bike from place to place. Geting rid of cars is a great idea and some countries have already gotten the idea and I belive we should try it out.

So for us to be able to do that we must do what some countrys are already doing..... Limit the amount we drive our cars.
In Vauban, Germany they have given up their cars. Vauban's streets are clear of cars, even clear of parking spaces. There are only two places to park, a large grage at the end of the development, where you have to pay $40,000, along with the price of your house. Experts say that this is one of the first real major ways peopl are trying to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions for cars. In the United States, in car-intensive areas, cars casue up to 50% of all greenhouse emissions.
Also, in Paris they had to ban driving because of the smog. Because of the amounts of pollution there was Paris inforced a partial driving ban in attempt to clear the air of the global city, there was a 22 fine($31). In Paris, close to 4,000 drivers were fined, and 27 cars were impounded for over reacting to the fine. Bogota, Colombia, has "No car day", whic millions of Colombians found other ways of transportation such as hiking, walking, riding bikes, or public transpot vechials. The goal of their "No car day" is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faces a $25 fine. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said Carlos Arturo Plaza. Also, two other colombian cities joined "No car day" Cali, and Valledpar. "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders," said Enrique Riera, the mayor of AsunciÓn, Paraguay.
The number of miles driven peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily after, according to research as of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was near 9% below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. Just shows the we as a group are starting to relize what effect we have on our enviroment.
iDeas such as theses lead me to belive our beauitful Earth will live on if we all agree to drive less and use other ways of transport. its not that much to ask of you, if its a beauitful day out grab your bike not only well it be good for you but also for your enviroment.

And even countrys are helping out.
The data shown in the passage is that many poeple chose to sell there cars and chose to use other reasoures to get around. in the text it says , " when i had a car i was always tense. im much happier this way". this qoute showes that having a car isnt as fun as people say. it can leave to stress and make people feel very tense. some people cant live without their cars , but others travel on bike and busses to not just do to do it, but to make a difference and help the earth. Data has been shown that the driving in America has decreased over the years and study shows that the driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. My response to this would be that all of this, is that people are trying to help and make for something better
Getting around without cars isnt just happening with small time people, Countrys are even getting involed. for example Paris, after days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a patial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. motorists in paris with numbered license are told to leave there cars at home, if not they would have to suffer a 22-euro fine. this is a great way to allow less pollution go into the atomshere, this also helps everyone even if they dont know it. And not just paris has a car-free day, but Bogota , Colmbia use this as well. many colombians hiked , biked, skated or took busss to work during a car-free day. this helps our planet so much even if its a small thing it help little by little.
Many countrys do a great thing by doing this and it helps and even if the trip from A to B might take a little longer, its worth it. usage of cars being less used is a very important thing people do .

[/INST] Passenger cars are a standard method of transportation. Although, it is not the most affordable; nor is it easy to maintain. This method carries numerous disadvantages. Consequently, if citizens limit their car usage, it would be very advantageous.
Using an automobile for transportion is unethical for middle-class families. This is evident because Source 1 confirms that near French and Swiss borders, "...a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home." Obviously many families cannot afford to do that because more than half of Vauban's families, (Vauban is a suburb in Germany), do not own a car and more than half had no choice but to sell theirs to move to Vauban in the first place (Source 1). Even the number of drivers in America has decreased because, during the recession, "cash-strapped Americans could not afford new cars..." (Source 4). Sociologists also believe within the next few years, the number of car-owners will decrease because "...the Internet...allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends." So as the result of less car ownership, people who stopped using cars because of the recession will find less reason to resume the habit (Source 4). Clearly, limiting automobile use has positive effects because not only the middle-class, but the American population, can't afford cars.
Life without a car, environment-wise, is extremely beneficial. It is proven that automobiles are "...a huge impediment to current efforts to...reduce greenhouse gas emissions..." (Source 1). 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe is the result of the use of passenger cars. That percentage is up to 50% in the United States (Source 1). Because those numbers are so high, several advancements are being made to cause the percent to decrease. One example of this is, the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to "promote "car reduced" communities...", to protect the nation's and the world's environment (Source 1). There is an environmental dilemma in Paris especially. The city has "near-record pollution..." and because they recognize the cause as being cars, they have enforced "...a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." (Source 2). This ban and other efforts to preserve the environment is advantageous because it is not just an individual's home but the entire population's. Limiting car usage is a small step to making choices that will benefit citizens in the long run.
Having a limit on car use is advantageous. This is made obvious for financial reasons and environment conservation purposes. It is expensive and taxing to use a car and the environment is better off without automobiles. Cars are not a necessity.

[/INST] Normally in everyone's mind when they are a teenager they want to have a car to go to places such as the mall, beach, etc. There are advantages though to limiting car usage. The whole planet should really hear or read about it, it's amazing to what these advantages can do for you, others, and our ecosystem.
The first of many reasons why we should limit car usage is because of greenhouse gas emissions. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of gas emissions in Europe. . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States(Source 1)." This just shows the evidence by the future if this keeps going like this the Whole entire planet would be all polluted which would make living conditions harder than they have to be. Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two states "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way(Source 1)." Looking at this quote tells me that she must have been stressed with the car, maybe it was because of the traffic or the gas bill who knows, but she does feel happier without it so she must feel more at ease that her area is not cramped up with cars. In Vauban, Germany if you own a car where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, there are only two places to park-large garages at the edge of the development, where a car owner must buy a space, for $40,00, along with a home. Well sign me up with a bike or running shoes because I don't have that kind of money to spend just to live in a area with no cars.
Furthermore I would like to go to Paris, but sources state that "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals(Source 2)." Reuters had found 147 micrograms of particulate matter or PM per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. That is pretty bad and knowing that people say that you must go to Paris, yeah sure for I can get polluted air into my system got it. "Diesel fuel was blamed, since Frtance has . . . [a] tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline." According to Reuters "Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe(Source 2)." Even Bogata, Columbia has a "Car-free day" and if you don't follow the rules of car-free day you will be fined $25. Carlos Arturo Plaza stated "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," as he and his wife rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife(Source 3).
It is just clear that most areas in the world are trying to change the way we live our lives for the sake of all human life. It is a good oppurtunity to relieve stress and lower air pollution as the source stated before. So the next time you want a car think to yourself "Which one is much more helpful to the planet's ecosystem?"

[/INST] Fellow Citizens, there are many reasons why limiting car usgage has outstanding oppritunities and advantages.
For an example, If there aren't people out there spending their hard earned money that they worked for, for an expensive car that they are just going to use to get to someplace faster when they could just stop being lazy for once and walk or run, ride bikes, hike, or take a bus, instead of spending money after money to fill a car up to just waste gas, and to fill it up again. Running, riding bikes, hiking, etc. gives you a chance to experience reality. Being outside gives people a chance to see the earths real beauty, and to smell the fresh air. Limiting car usage helps people stay in shape and keeps them healthy if their not just sitting in a car for half a hour when they could be running or walking.
Residents in Vauban, Germany are permitted car ownership, but there are only two places to park : large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home. About 70 percent of Vauban's families do not iwn cars, an about 57 percent sold a car to move there. Having a car makes peoples tense, and being in a place where there isnt alot of car usgae makes people much happier. People who live in places where cars arent used as oftn as other states, those towns place stores in walking distance, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway.
An amazing advantage that people can can from limiting the usage of cars is less drunk drivers, or even none. If there's less drunk drivers, there's less car crashes and less deaths. Everyone understands that you have to be 21 or older in most states to drink alcoholic beverages. The big adavntage out of this is, if older people were to get drunk, they would be forced to call a cab, or even walk home. Their not putting noone else's life in danger, and this would lower the crashes and death fatalities per year.
As as many cars that there is in the world, all the use of them would probably pollute the world. Paris enforce a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city after days of the near-record pollution.
Limiting car usage gives you the oppritunity to be with your family and friends and spend more time with them then you normally would having a car. You can walk and talk with them on the way to work, you can stop by the park and have some fun on your way to the grocery store. The best part about this is, you dont have to worry about the roads being busy. You ca walk, run, hike, and bike without having to hear the noisy streets, the honking, the screeching, etc.
What's the point in having a car that your just going to be wasting money on, when running, walking or riding a bike is free and even cheaper and safer than driving a car. What are you gonna do when your car breaks down? Are you gonna keep spending your money on when it keeps breaking? Why do that when you have two perfectly good and healthy legs and you can run or walk somewhere?
Just take a moment to think about the fines every single person breathing in the world has received? Alot of money wasted on something idiotic huh? just imagine if every state, continents, islands, and places we dont know about all stopped using cars, or even just limited the car usage. We'd be saving a whole ton of money, we'd basically all be middle classes.
This whole situation is a win-win, You get to be with your family 24/7, Running, walking, biking, hiking etc. is all an amazing way to keep people healthy. People dont have to worry about drunk drivers, or car crashes, or car fatalities. People can finally stop spending their hard earned money that they're just going keep spending and wasting on gasoline or to fix your car when its having problems and it breaks. Families can save the money that they would normally be spending on gasoline and start saving for a trip to take their family on to spend more time with them, or to take a trip for yourself.
There are plently more reasons and outstanding advantages that limiting car usage gives you, but these are some of the very best! Just remember, The only good advantages a car can give you is getting you somewhere faster, and keeping you comfortable and safe. But they are also the most danagerous, and expensive things out there. They can take your life or someone elses in an instant, and they can put you in debt quicker than you know! Limitng car usage is for you!

[/INST] I believe that there are many advantages when it comes to limiting car usage. Using cars for transportation has been around for nearly a decade, starting with the very first car to run on gas ever made. Many believe that having a car makes life more convenient. But there are many more cons that justify the right to limit car usage.
The first advantage to limiting car usage would be the most obvious one, which is economical purposes. Buying a car usually means spending thousands of dollars all at once or having to pay a bill every month until the full price of the car is payed. This does not include the price for gas or other needs the car could have. Things like oil changes, transmission failure, or even something as simple as a flat tire could cost well over a hundred dollars just to fix all depending on the situation. This is not even considering the chance that your car could just stop functioning and you would need to buy a new car, which would lead to the ugly circle of life you just went through with your old car.
Not only is limiting car use good economically, but also enviromentally friendly as well. Studys shown that cars and other vehicles like this are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. This could be very dangerous in a place where many people live.
Another advantage would be that if there are less cars, there would be less accidents as well. Many deaths that have been occuring over the pass year are all car related. Things like natural storms that destroy cars or drinking and driving could be prevented if car usage is limited. If car usage was limited, the death toll would definitly get smaller.
One last advantage limiting car usage would bring is the gift of excersise. Many believe a car is very convenient due to the fact that it can get you where you want to go in a small amount of time which, in fact, could be very useful for special occasions. However, when it comes to using a car limits to driving to a gas station 4 blocks away from where you live just for snacks, that's when things get out of hand. If you want to get somewhere, there are other ways besides cars that are safe and healthy for you. You could ride a bike, or even walk to where you want to go and still get the excersise you wouldn't get from using a car.
In conclusion, there are many reasons why car usage should be limited. However, that does not mean i don't beileve in the usage of cars. Cars are a advancement in technology for people to get to where they need to go without a hassle. A gift like that should not be taken advantage of. People can still use cars, but in moderation. And if we take the time to walk or ride a bike, you will be healthy, happy, and have a pocket full of money left over.

[/INST] Most likely im in a car every day of my life and the odds are so are you. But What if cars were never invented how many lives would be saved? how much money could we save? And over all how much better and cleaner our world will be. These things are just some of the advanatges that pertains to limiting our car usage. Have you ever heard of the good out weighs the bad? well in this situation the good defiantly out weighs the bad.
Our life source is breathing we need to breath air and at that fresh air, but we never are, not with fumes from millions of cars roaming around. Stated in (source3 par24) "Its a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution". That to me sounds like two gains already, whats better than fresh air and less stress. Things just as simple as car pooling makes the world better but what really would is not useing you'r car daily. No, i dont mean walk every where you could use bikes, eletric operated golf carts which are all fun but much better for the air. By useing these we have fewer fumes in the air which makes for better air. If we all began useing these instead of cars in just towns it would become normal to ride bikes and, golf carts rather than big bulky air killing machines. For an example in (source4 par29) "Americans are buying fewer cars and driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by". It just starts with one to make something drastically change. Now i know were not gonna take family bike trips all the way from florida to georgia or drive a golf cart that only goes to 40mph,but thats when it would be decent to make a "car trip". Im not saying stop useing cars completely just only when its not neccassary. Just think about the world you live in the world that God has created is being pulluted every day, but we can all change that.
Money, money ,money Seems to be the big talk in America weather its the money were making, the money were loseing ,or the money we just dont have. But Wouldent you rather put your money towards the mouths of your family or the roof over your head, rather than in your gas tank ? Useing less cars would give us more money on more important things in life and, would cause more people to become happier . Just by useing things like bikes can make things more smoother in your every day life for an example(source3 par28) "Rush hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic". No one i know loves sitting or, nearly wrecking during traffic with this mehtod of less cars we could cut deaths and, stress in half . And i know you would say, but millions of people would lose jobs big money by car usage being reduced,but think of all the new things they could make their money from . People are always looking for the next big thing , well this is it. Dealerships that promote this could now turn into safer mobility shops and, make nearly as much. Stated in(source4 par32) "Americans could not afford new cars and the unemployed wernt going to work anyway". This goes to show that were already leaning towards the idea of less cars we just need to be pushed. All the new inventions that will arise weather its cute bicycle covers to built in tops to block the rain people will be gaining and saving just as much. But what were really gainig is the saftey of people. Kids fall off their bikes everyday and probably get hurt but, a scrape is better than taking your last breath. We all gain from this , and our human nature is to want whats best for yourself, well this is surely better for every one.
Almost every day im in a vehicle, but maybe that could soon change. We could gain so much from losing just a little bit of driving time. We would absolutley gain lives,money,and happiness from useing less car usage. Im a firm beliver in useing this method i couldent imagine a better world of things going just so smoothly all of the time. But It takes getting on that bike or walking to the corner store to strike a revolution like this. So get out of your cars and, go make a better place for you and for the world.

[/INST] What would life without cars be like? Cities throughout the world are practicing this idea, and seem to be doing fine without thier cars.
Cars are a great way of traveling from place to place. They are fast and time efficent but cars aren't the best for the environment, they cause polution,bad air,smog and global warming. The city of Paris has a partial driving ban becuase of the rise in smog they are experiencing. The ban was succeful in reducing the amount of smog and also alowed the puplic to use public trasportation free of charge. Now if more places started doing this air polution would decrease and we would have cleaner air to breath in and less health problems from smog.
In the city of Bogota, Colombia the residents have a car fee day each year. On this day Colombians hike, ride thier bikes, skate, or take buses and taxies to work. Doing this yearly activity has lowered traffic jams which allowed workers to get to work on time while they took buses or taxies. Not only were traffic jams reduced but people get to exercise and commute with others while the walk or ride thier bikes to thier disired distination. Limiting car use is not only good for lowering air polution and geting exercise, it's also good for bussines.
Vauban, Germany has been practicing this idea as well. They have a no car policy, if residents wish to have a car they have to buy a parking space from a parking lot. Having a parking lot allows kids to play outdoors without the worry of having to deal with cars. As people walk to places they want to be at, they may find stores where they can do some shoping. Store owners are now placing thier businesses along walk ways to atract customers as they walk by. Not only are businesses blooming so are parks and sport centers. The city Bogota have been building parks and sports centers as people are beginig to exercise more and are going outdoors.
Limiting car use can be great for the environment and for people. Cars have been in our lifes for long time now, but it doesn't hurt to walk from place to place or to enjoy a bike ride to work.

[/INST] People in today's society practically depend on their cars to get them to and from work, to buy groceries for their families, and just for the purpose of getting out of the house. Although, with billions of people driving cars every single day, it has quite a negative effect on the environment. It is in our nature to think that without a car, you could not go anywhere or do anything for that matter. Recently, cities around the world have been banning the use of cars and charging citizens with fines if cars become in use. The reasoning for this is the increased amount of pollution that diesel fuel is causing. Thus, making it difficult to breathe, walk outside, and live our everyday life.
One major problem in the use of diesel fuel has been the pollutants in the air which lead to an extreme amount of smog. Recently, Paris has had more smog than any other European capital. They knew that something had to be done to stop this, so they started a new "car-free" law. This resulted in a fine of $31 for the citizens who used their cars. Soon after that law had become intact, almost 4,000 drivers were fined, and just about 27 people had their cars impounded that day for their reaction to the fine.
The United States of America had long been one of the world's most prime car cultures. It is the birthplace of some of the very first car models. A lot of big cities in the U.S have a huge amount of driving going on. For example, New York City, San Fransico, Miami, Los Angeles, ect. This is leaving the country with a large amount of pollutants in the atmosphere. After President Obama's ambitions to decrease the amount of diesel fuel use, recent studies have shown that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and are even having a decrease in the amount of licenses permited as each year passes. In 2013, the amount of miles driven per person was about 9 percent under the usual American peak. With the large amount of citizens living in this country and the number of people only rising, this small decrease has had a very positive effect on the environment.
With almost the entire world in on this new, "car-free" trend, people have been perfectly fine letting go of their cars and taking on the world just by foot. In the city of Vauban, Germany the citizens there would much rather pioneer their way through life than to own a car according to Heidrun Walter, who is a resident of Vauban. "I'm much happier this way." She claims. Back on the other side of Earth, people are becoming more and more encouraged to use plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying 3 or more passengers. This decreases the amount of fuel being burned, and a happier and healthier environment for us all to live in.
In conclusion, I believe that the decrease in the amount of cars in use has recently had a very positive effect on our environment. This has all come to show that you don't always need a car to get where you want and to do the things that you need to do. Or, if you feel the need for a car that you can rely on a friend for carpooling or purchasing a plug-in car which are becoming much more popular and useful in today's society. Always remember to keep our environment happy and healthy, and always making each day better by putting the amount of diesel fuels burned by car use and the effects it has into consideration.

[/INST] Cars have always been used to get from point A to point B. That is how the people in society know what cars are for. However, there are other alternatives when is comes to going form one destination to another. Citizens should limit their car usage. It helps with the terrible traffic on the street. Also, there will be no more pollution in the air. In addition, citizens can be able to enjoy the world.
Everyone has been caught in traffic, whether it is going to work or school or meeting up with someone. Everyone has been in traffic before. People can prevent traffic form happening. There is carpooling, it can help limit traffic on the streets. Just like it states in source three, "...millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." There are other ways to avoid and stop traffic. Not everyone needs to take their own personal car to work. They can either car pool or take public transportation to save money because gas isn't cheap these days. In addition, traffic somtimes end up leading to accidents. There are several people who died in a car accident due to someone speeding because he or she doesn't want to wait in the traffic. However, if everyone just finds another alternative way to get to his or her destination, then no one has to die. Just like it explains in proclaims in source four, "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial, and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emission and improve safety." This qoute listed some alternatives way to get somewhere. By doing these things it will not only limit the traffic but the resources and the safety of other people. Traffic isn't a fun place to be in, so find another way to get to his or her destination can prevent traffic.
Air pollution is everywhere we go. Whether someone travels to Japan, India, or South America. There willbe air pollution there. It might not have same amount of air pollution as other countries but there is still pollution. Why? Because there are people who uses his or her personal car not thinking about what happens to the air that they breathe. However, there is a solution to limit the pollution in the air. Limiting car usage or find another way to get to the certain destination. Mr. Sivak even claims that "A car is just a means of getting from A to B..." Cars is just a means of transportation. So are bicycles, trucks, buses, traind. However, all these have one thing in common, they are all going form destination A to destination B. Biking, walking, skating are some way to stop the gas from the vehicles from polluting the air. Actually, by using these methods pollution can be reduced. For example source three states, "...uneven, pitted sidewalks have bee replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic..." When people don't use his or her car and decides to find another way to get to their destination it helps reduce the traffic.
There are several people who say that they know what the real world is since he or she travels all the time in their car. However, do people really know the sounds of kids laughter when walking down the side walk or a bicycle bell violently ringing at someone to get out of their way? Not a lot of people know this because they are usually used to their vehicles getting them places. People will argue that they have heard all of those before and that they were happier. But Ms. Walter thinkgs other wise, "When i had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Ms. Walter has been walking on the streets and she hears the swish of bicycles and the talkative children and occastional a distant motor. These help people better appreciate the world that they live in because not everything will last forever. In addition to this, less cars means more people walking which means that several people will end up walking pass a shop and look what is inside. For instance in source three is explains, "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed through the city; uneven...and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." It helps by walking to find new stores or restaurants people never heard of.
Several people believe that the only way to get somewhere is by car. That isn't necessarily true. Skating, walking, biking, car pooling or public transportation can help get anyone from point A to B. Yes, it will take longer on foot than by car but it helps the environment, it stops from the air getting all the gasoline form the cars. It is faster than being stuck in traffic. Someone who is biking to school can be five minutes late while soneone who is took their car and got stuck in traffic can be an hour late. Limiting car usage is a way that everyone can explore the world than being stuck in that four or tw door car. Limiting car usage has its downs but it also have its perks.

[/INST] Suburban cities are buzzing with traffic; every person is trying to get some place as fast as possible. Whether it is a business meeting or their child's soccer practice, a car is the preferred transportation method. But there is a new initiative across the globe that is growing in popularity: the idea of living without cars. Several urban cities have participated in efforts to reduce the traffic in their home, because of the numerous harmful effects it has on the people and the earth. Three cities have subtracted cars out of their daily routine and reaped the benefits. The United States has also procured benefits because of the decline in car usage. In Vauban, Germany: citizens live without cars, in Paris, France: driving restrictions were placed to help control the pollution, and in Bogota, Colombia: an annual "Day Without Cars" is put into effect. These efforts have proven to have multiple advantages. The articles, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" and "The End of Car Culture" by Elizabeth Rosenthal, The United States and Vauban's unique situation is discussed. Robert Duffer explains Paris' predicament in his piece, "Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog." the final source is from Andrew Selsky, "Car Free Day is a Big Hit in Bogota." Limiting and abolishing the use of personal automobiles is helpful to the environment, the city, and the people.
When Paris, France is mentioned, people think of the Eiffel tower looming over their head. In reality, what is really dancing over their hair is smog. The classic city has experienced record high polution rates in the previous times. The government has decided to do something about their predicament. Duffer explains the measures they took, "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." The efforts that the French made to prevent pollution proved to be extremely successful. Because of the strange weather conditions, the smog had become trapped in a layer of air, causing their smog count to rival Beijing's, the most polluted city in the world. Paris adjusted to the bans by making all public transportation free and making certain exceptions for hybrid cars and cars carrying three or more people, Duffer explained. Although some deliery companies were not happy with the restrictions on their driving, the smog drastically cleared enough for the city to abolish the ban and all numbered plates were allowed to drive after only a week of the ban.
In a new and revolutionary city, cars have actually been banned from the premises. Vauban lies in Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. Aside from main thoroughfare, the streets are primarily car free. And the locals think that it pays off, "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way', said Heidrun Walter." The motives behind this are due to the harmful greenhouse gas emission from so many cars. Rosenthal cites the statistic that, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas in Europe.. and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." With car-less cities like Vauban, the greenhouse gas emissions are close to nothing. Citizens walk, bike, or pile on the bus. This method helps protect the environment and have people enjoy their daily lives a bit more. In Rosenthal's other article, about Car Culture, she explains how the car industry is declining anyway, and how the United States could be headed for no-car societies as well. "Car ownership per household and per person has started to come down in the past two to three years." The abolishment of car usage helpe protect the environment and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions.
In Bogota, Colombia, a new kind of celebration has been put into effect. The "Day Without Cars" is an annual day in the capital of Colombia where the use of cars is not permitted. Substitute activities include: biking, hiking, taking buses, and skating. Selsky wirtes that the goal was to encourage the citizens to use public transportation and reduce the pollution that clotted up the airways in the people. The only mode of transportation allowed was buses and taxis. There were twenty five dollar fines handed out to those who violated the rules. Selsky explains, "The day without cars is part of an improvemewnt campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city." These bicycle paths have helped to promote the non-polluting modes of getting around Bogota. The day has proven to be a success for not only Bogota, but other Colombian cities as well. On the third anniversary, Cali and Valledupar participated in the event as well. The capital city of Colombia has seen drastic changes in the condition of its city. Seltzky claims that recreational parks have popped up and the sidewalks have improved to put them in a better condition. Rush hour regulations have even been put into effect that have dramatically reduced the bumper to bumper traffic in the city.
Bogota, Paris, Vauban, and the United States have all proved that eliminating the usage of cars is beneficial to many aspects of the world. Each city has adapted it's own way that attests to the assets of not using cars.

[/INST] From the crammed streets of New York City, to the touristfilled city of Paris, cars have been the means of transportation around the globe ever since their creation. The reliance on cars has been an issue too great to ignore, as the environment becomes more polluted and the streets become more dangerous. We must shed light on the dark tunnel that has been blinding our judgement to a brighter future, where pollution is limited and our streets are clean. That future can only be seen with limiting car usage. Therefore, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment and it would create a better lifestyle around the world.
First, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment. With global warming increasing by the day, any step to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases should be taken, limiting car usage is an essential tool to head in that direction. As a Elisabeth Rosenthal from the New York Times expounded: "passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States." Clearly cars are extremely harmful to the environment. However there is hope, because once car usage is limited these high numbers can be mitigated everywhere. In fact, in Paris, as Robert Duffer from the Chicago Tribune reported, policies to lower car usage have been taken and have actually worked! In France's capital "motorists with evennumbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22euro fine. The same would apply to oddnumbered plates the following day." In hopes to reduce carbon emissions and save the environment, Paris's prayers were answered as the smog cleared enough for the government to remove the ban for oddnumbered plates. Clearly, the pollution reduced due to one factorlimiting car usage. If actions around the world are initiated similar to Paris's plan, then a better environmental future is inevitable. The environmental benefits of reducing car usage are endless. After all we only have one planet, cars should not be the machines to dictate our environmental future.
Moreover, limiting car usage is beneficial because it would create a better lifestyle around the world. Reliance on cars has shaped modern society into a dependent state on oil. However, once that oil runs out, what type of lifestyle will people turn to? Limiting car usage provides this answer through a healthy lifestyle before this day arises. For example, In Bogota, Colombia, as Andrew Selsky from the Seattle Times put it: "the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths" had been built within Bogota after years of limiting cars. People are shifting their reliance on cars and turning them into productive means of transportation. In fact, rush hour restrictions cut traffic and has led to a rise in parks and shopping districts in Bogota, according to Mr Selsky. Even Carlos Arturo Plaza a businessman in Bogota enthusiastically exclaimed: "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." as he rode a two seat bicycle with his wife. However, Bogota is not the only place where limiting car usage has been gaining support, the Mobile World Congress has been engaged too! Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company laid out his plan where he envisioned a "world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesriable," Rosenthal. He believed that "partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emission and improve safety" Rosenthal. If people around the globe are willing to support this movement, especially a chairman for one of the world's largest automotive companies, and partake in this new lifestyle, then limiting car usage must be the way to go. This new lifestyle of riding bikes, walking, and taking public transportation, will mold the traditional transportation mediums, into a more safe and secure one if citizens support this advantageous movement.
It is time the citizens of planet Earth envision the streets of Beijing and the historic city of London, not as images of pollution and carreliant places, but as clean and healthy ones. The advantages of limiting car usage makes this dream a reality, because this policy betters the environment and creates a better lifestyle around the world. Hopefully word spreads quickly, and everyone, everywhere, knows of the advantages of limiting car usage, because only then, will our future be a bright one.

[/INST] In germany, they are trying to reduce the amount of cars driving by the people. They are improving on there walk ways, and public transportation to make it a better place. However in paris they are complety banding cars and fining people if they take there cars. The air in the city is smoged. In colombia there is a car free day. They either walk, take buses, bikes. The day without cars is a camaign to improve which began in the mid 1990's. The end of the car culture takes about our president Brack Obama's goal. The United States green house gases.
Germany is imporving on there side walks for people to walk instead of taking there cars, either to work, to school, or other places people need to get. Germany is doing a great job. mentioned in paragragh two, in source 1, it says, "street parking driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg"... they to are forbidding things in there conturies, yes but they are improving on there streets nd providing public transportation to make it better.
70 percent of Vuauban's families do not own cars, Elisabeth Rosenthal mentions in her artical. 57 percent sold there cars to move there. She also says, in paragragh 3 lines 3 and 4, "when i had a car i was also tense". People seem to be tense with having cars. 12 percent of greenhouse gas are in Europe, in the United States its up to 50 percent in some areas.
"All of our development since World War II has been centered on cars" paragragh 7 states. according to David Goldberg, that will change. Paragragh 8, says that New York sububs with spread out homes nd privite garages, were the dream towns of the 1950's. The last paragragh, 9 in Source 1 mentions that in the United States,the Environmental protection Agency is promoting "car reducing" communities.
In sources 2,3, and 4 also have some good imformation that are understandable and have good ideas like in source 3: Car free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota. Andrew Selsky the writter of this artical says in the first paragragh that Colombians have a car free day. They either walk, ride there bikes to there location or anything like ride buses but they dont use there cars. Germany are improving and there making there community better.

[/INST] The advantages of limiting car usage is they have less greenhouse gas emissions, being less tense and more accessible to public transportation.
The good thing about less greenouse gas emissions is the air is more dense and is a huge impediment to currrent efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. Also another advantage is being less tense and a good thing about being less tense in can reduce high blood pressure, lesser chance for heart attack for people 40 or older, and you won't be so stressed because stress is a main cause for heart attacks and high blood pressure. Finally, the good thing about it being more accessible to public transportation is its just like carpooling everyone can ride in one vehicle and use less gas to make the air more dense and clear so the less gas you can use the better the air will be more clear so everyone can breathe in clean air for their lungs but if you don't like to use public transportation use you can always walk, jog, or even run because it's a great way to excersize your muscles.

[/INST] The usage of motor vehicles has been on a steady decline for the last several years. More and more people are relying on carpooling and other means of transportation. In Elisabeth Rosenthal's articles, she discusses Vauban, Germany, where cars are forbidden and how the use of cars has been on the decline. In Robert Duffer's article, he talks about Paris' issues with pollution and the ways it has been dealt with. In Andrew Selsky's article, he talks about a program in Colombia when citizens use other means of transportation other than cars. The perks of limiting car usage include less pollution, less traffic congestion, and improved safety.
The main culprit of pollution issues is car usage. In Source 2, Robert Duffer says that "Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France..."(Duffer 16) This is because of a tax policy that has a preference to this fuel. Diesel fuel is a lot more harmful than regular gasoline, and if many people are using this fuel pollution rates will skyrocket. Cutting down on these fuels altogether could create a less polluted environment. In addition, cars cause 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and 50 percent in specific places in the U.S(Rosenthal 5). This statistic is startling, since half of the pollution problems in the U.S are associated to cars. By using other means of transportation such as the train or even carpooling, this number can be greatly reduced to a much smaller percentage.
With more cars, more traffic congestion occurs. A sign of this congestion is evident when Rosenthal says"New York's new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities.(Rosenthal 37)" A lot of people are still using their own vehicles to get from point A to B, and as a result their is more money that has been given to toll bridges because of that. The encouragement of governments to suggest car-pooling services and shared rides will decrease the revenue that comes from tolls. If everybody shared a ride with a person from work or from somewhere else, there would be a great decrease in traffic congestion.
Furthermore, public transportation such as the BART in the San Francisco Bay area has decreased the amount of drivers on the road. Although the rides are typically longer than driving a car from point A to B, it is a more efficient method of transportation.(Rosenthal 40) Using these alternate methods of transportation decreases the amount of cars on the road at once. With less cars on the road at once, there is more efficiency in getting where you need to go.
Safety is one of the most important aspects of reducing the amount of cars. In Colombia, a program promotes the use of no cars one day per year. Many of the citizens use alternate methods of transportation such as walking and riding bikes.(Selsky 20)By promoting this, there are obviously less cars on the road and a lesser risk of people being injured by cars. With programs that promote other modes of transportation, many lives can be saved since there would be fewer cars on the road. Although many people require cars to get from place to place, the idea of lives being saved is something that shouldn't be ignored. Also, technology has aided the decline in cars. Telecommunication has helped people become connected to friends and family in a way without meeting with them face to face.(Rosenthal 35) Because of this, people dont have to travel to meet with their friends and family. This has created a domino effect; people can communicate through social media and texting which causes less cars to be on the road to visit other people and overall causes less safety isssues.
In conclusion, cars are the focal point of many issues in our society. They cause many safety issues such as traffic accidents,more traffic congestion which causes increases in revenue in tolls, and pollution issues. By reducing car usage, many of these problems can disappear, and can create a safer and healthier environment.

[/INST] Imagaine a world where global warming could actually be depicted as a myth, a world where you could walk out side a breath cleaner and more safer air. Limiting car usages will indeed help the enviorment in a major way over a estimated period of time. Elisabet Rosenthal, author of In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, Robert Duffer, author of Paris bans driving due to smog, Andrew Selsky, author of Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota and Elisabeth Rosenthal, author of The End of Car Culture all have vaild points when it come to explaning the great advatages of limiting car usages. Without the use of car america would indeed be a safer and move gren place to live.
To begain, cars is one major sorce of stress and poulution and without them he earth would be alittle more peaceful. The turnout was large, dispite gra clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota; Selsky. The source above is just one example of how the lack out cars brought together a whole city. Walking around in the rain, something most people wouldnt do often was brought together when a city banned cars for a day to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Unless you are driving a eletric car, cars are not good for the enviorment in an way. Passenger cars ae responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe; Rosenthal. May not seem like a big number but that 12 percent will effect the enviorment, causing things like global warming. Cars are needed in daily life but limmiting their uses from now and then would help emprove the life expectancy of our Earth.
Furthermore lowering the uses of car can also can help save the Earth we are talking about a long term outcome. Paris typicaly has more smog than other European capitals....[last] week Paris had 17 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter; Duffer. France has high levels of smog due to their use of diesel more then gasoline. These high levels would be lowered once the use of cars are limited. The use of driving can be limited in multiple was, such as the use of internet or cell phones. Whie these devices can only give you the feeling of talking to one another, it is a very great way to reduce emmision levels. The internet makes telelcommuting possible and allows people to feel moe connected withou driving to meet friends; Rosenthal.
In conclusion, a safer and more greener earth are just two advatages of limiting car usages. The Eath will also be around for your daughter and her kids to come. Their are mulitple ways andvantages of limiting car usages.

[/INST] Since remotely times, the manhad look for some way to make his life easier, since primitive hunting weapons, to carriages. The carriages were pulled by horses mostly, and on those times, the most that those animals could do for contamination was pooping but the owners had people to clean for it as well assomeone who took care of it. While the times had change, the transportation media has too as well with the cars which it actually result to be a doble sided bladecontaminating with smog.
In Paris the government has banned driving due to smog, the smog has caused a huge impact on this city, giving to it cooler nights and warmer days, many habitats blame Diesel fuel, but it does not matter which fuel you would use, it would burn and produce smog anyways. On the other hand,Vauban, Germany, is offering a new life style that many people has decided to adopt the suburbian community has no cars at the streets, people there does not own a carbecause they do not need it, the public transportation works very well, so it is not a primary need. They can live perfectlywithout cars, then they are not that necessary. Many people even sell their cars in order to move to Vauban, and had said that their lifes are so much less stressful than when they did own a car. Mothers can let their childrens to play in the streets without thinking that a car is going to kill them, and kids can let go technology if their moms want them to play outside most of the kids are so attached to technology because it is a way that parents have to keep them away from the streets. Maybe these changes like in Germany were too radicals, but it can start by a day a year like in Bogot, Colombia where once a year people take a carfree day, being buses and taxis the only ones allowed to produce smog, the violators are charged with 25 dollars fines. Even in the U.S., from 2003 to 2009 young people driving decreased a 23%, young people are considered the most dangerous driving people. There is so much for young people to do that they are not focused on driving, this could be the beginning of a new era, in April 2013 the number of miles per person was equal that in 1995 where the cars where less than right now. There it is even a program in New York promoting carpooling!
But for example, here in Florida the public transportation is not that good, you actually need a car that drives you to the bus station and then take the bus a bus that will let you on a train station, that train station will offer you a ride of an hour to another bus that takes about half an hour to get to your job if you live in Homestead and work in Miami. That is about three hours just arriving to your job, every day for five days in a row that is about thirty hours a week, just to get to your job! But if you have a car, those three hours now are one hour, which seems reasonable and it is still a lot!. If someone lives at Homestead and needs to do something which is generally at downtown Miami or Doral you would have to dedicate a whole day just doing it, if you are going in car because the distance between cities are ridiculous, can you imagine if not having it? For doing something you would have to take two days and do it by parts or wake up at the very morning when it is still dark so you can complete everything by the afternoon. So defenetly the car is a primary need.
Analyzing the life style that people at Vauban have, they are less stressed thanthe average personwhoowns a carpeople starts to be more social with their neighbors because they have to walk everywhere and the faces are the same, so they actually get to know each other. They also got the benefit of a cleaner enviroment because they do not have the daily doses of smog that someone living in a city would have cars cause the 12% of the contamination in Europe and more than a 50% in the United States. That is a problem that Paris maybe would not be facing right now if they had payed attention to contamination levels.Since World War II, science has been centered on developing new and better cars can you imagine what would we have right now if some other would center the science in medicicne or something else?. In the United States an 80% of the budget goes to highways while just a 20% goes to public transportation. But, how can people in Bogot or Vauben survive without cars? The distance between the comercial and suburban areas are close enough so a bus could take you there just one bus. Defenetly, making the change would be hard due to our attachment to our cars, but little by little we can change or life style.

[/INST] There area couple of advantages to limiting car usage. The most common one would be less pollution. In larger cities pollution is a big deal with all the factories around, but some of that pollution can be redused if less car were used for transportation. To help reduse pollution, as stated in source 1 "[S]tores are placed a walk away, on main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway."
One way to enforce limiting car usage is to do like it say in source 2 "after days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." People were did not agree with the concept of not driving for the day in the begining and decided that instead of go along with not driving they would rather pay the fine, "almost 4,000 drivers were fined..., says source 2. The only car that was allowed to drive from Friday to Monday was plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. source 2 says "the smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."
Another advantage to limiting car usage is that there are less traffic jams. "[M]illions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took the buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams," says sorcure 3. Not driving to work and using alternate transportation is "...a good opportunity to take away stree and lower air pollution," says businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza.
In source 4 President Obama said "recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." most people seem to be understand and realizing the advantanges of limiting car usuage. in some cases you may think car are very important to our lives, which they are but in other cases they are not. Just sit down and think of what life would be like without cars and you will see it would be better.

[/INST] In countries all throughout the world, there are many reasons why limited (private) car usage would be very beneficial. Overall, it would benefit individual families by limiting costs spent on gas and even the huge payment of buying a car. Also, it would hugely cut back on the harmful gas emissions from the cars of individuals who choose to privately drive everywhere. Lastly, many countries have
As previously stated, limiting car usage would reduce the cost of buying cars and paying for the gas to use those cars. You can spend as much as $50 on gas a day, and because gas is a nonrenewable resource, the demand for it will only increase over time, as will its cost. Additionally, the economies of many countries such as the United States are not at their best, therefore making it difficult for many families to come up with the money to even buy a car. The $40,000 you spend on buying a car when there are alternative options such as walking, biking, or taking the bus could be spent on more important things like healthcare, insurance, food, and entertainment. According to Source 4, "recent studies suggest aht Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." Obviously people would not be making these changes if it wasn't proving to be beneficial to them.
Secondly, cars are a huge source of air pollution to our planet. If we don't limit our car usage, who knows what will happen to our ozone layer and ecosystem. According to Source 2, countries like Paris have already noticed this and are taking the initiative to prevent further pollution. "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." Within days Paris had already observed a difference in their air quality and a sharp decrease in smog. "Congestion was down 60% in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog . . .".

[/INST] Limiting car usage is great, I mean the more money you save to go out and try or do different things. The biggest question everybody that reads these articles might ask. "How do you get to other places for example the Airport or if you wanted to go to Disney or somewhere else. Anyway back on topic. "All of our developement since World War II has been centered on the car, and that needs to change." says David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. The question every pereson who is legal to drive "How much you drive is as important as whether you have a hybrid.
First and Foremost, Vauban, home to 5,500 residents within a rectangular square mile, may be the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life. Passengers cars are responsible 12 percent of greenhoudse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. In the United States the Enviormental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities. Many experts expect public transport serving suburbs to play a larger part in a new six-year federal transportation bill to be approved this year. In previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport.
Next, After days of near-record pollution , paris enforcd a partial driving ban to clear th air of the global city. Motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leve their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to the odd-numbered plate sthe following day. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined according to the international news agency(Reuters). Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France ,after five -days of intsensifying somg. Diesel fuel was blammed, since France has a tax policy theat favors diesel over gasoline. Paris typically ahs more smog than other European capitals. Las week Paris had 147 microgramsof particulate matter. Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday. The somg cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party rescined the ban for odd-numbered plates on tuesday.
Last, Recent studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licensices as each year goes by. That has left researchers pondering a fundamental question "Has America passed the peak of driving?" America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling. The United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter. As of April 2013, the number of mile driven per person was nearrly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in the year 1995.
Inconclusion all of the less car usage is being used all across the globe. Things like this are good to keep up.

[/INST] Automobile accidents are very common in suburbs and in cities. Car reduced communities would not only help help us us a world financially but also help when it comes to our health. Robert Duffer and Elisabeth Rosenthal explain and inform the advantages of limiting car usage.
Cars in this day in age seem like a necessity when it comes to transportation but cars being the main source of transportation isn't always a good thing. Many countries are beginning to promote the philosophy of car reduced communities. According to David Goldberg, " All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change ". Cars being the main focus of transportation is not good. The gases from the fuel produces pollution which eventually leads to harmful diseases. We should take more advantage of our technological advances and come up with a safer, effective, and more economical way to transport our everyday citizens. Imagine if we stopped using cars. The air we breath in day by day would be cleaner, we would all have more money, and their would be less automotive accidents day by day which is one of the main reasons are population isn't increasing as fast as it could. Smog is the main harmful effect of abusing our car usage. Source 2 states that " After days of nearrecord pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving bam to clear the air of the global city ". The city of Paris is probably one of the most visited city in the entire world so for them to have to stop car usage due to smog is a big deal. Studies have shown that cars are very dangerous and harmful yet we still drive them everyday unconcontious of the fact that day by day were slowly making it harder on ourselves as humans to even survive. Cars are the main source of transportation now a days but its clear to see that the use of cars opposes many disadvantages.
Carfree days would be very effective when it comes to the conservation of our people. bogota Colombia has come up with the idea of car free days but is this idea more effective them it is ineffective? According to Source 3 " It was he third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in this capital city of & million ". You can only imagine how positive this idea actually ended up being. Many people thought that it was a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. Having many more of these days world wide wouldn't harm us unless we allow it to becasuse we've become so dependable on these machines but it would would help our planet become cleaner which tends to relieve stress. With the realization of the fact that cars are better helpful then they are harmful many people may stop buying cars. Source 4 claims that " President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emission, unveiled last week, will get a fortutious assist from an incepient shift in American behavior: recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, drving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by ". Many citizens are beginnning to focus and understand that presrving our populaiton is more important then going where they want when they want to. The concept of carfree days seems to be the better route to choose when it comes to survival, living, and a stressless environment.
Automible accidents are becoming very common in surburbs and cities. We as a people need to more contious on healthier and cleaner communities so that we can begin to produce healthier children. Healthier children means focused children and citizens. Children that are focused on having goals and having careers that help our planet.
We should make the smarter decision to be less selfish and more selfless so we as a people should reduce car usage so we can continute to grow as a population, culltivate, and explore together.

[/INST] Fellow citizens their are many advantage to limiting your car usage. With a wide range from not getting a ticket to helping the enviroment, and it's a social trend, driving cars are now a thing of the past.
In Vauban, Germany a community where only thirty percent of its entire population owns vehicals. The advantages for not owning a car are displayed in this upscale community by the ablity to walk, and ride a bicycles to stores, shops, and restaruants. The secret to this the innovative take on this community, is by not placing these all of stores, shops, and restaruants in some crowed mall, but accesible from a mere walking distant. Also a great way to burn off calories and in time put an end to obesity.
By reducing car usage smog and other pollutants in big cities can be drastically reduced. In Paris congestion of smog was down sixty percent, the way they got people to stop using cars was by putting a fine driving your car for the day almost 4,000 drivers were fined thirty one dollars that day. Another example of this is in Bogota, Colombia here most the millions of people were willing to give up car usage, a program that was started in the mid 1990s called the Day Without Cars with it's goal is to promote an altenative transportation. As a result of this added 118 miles of bicycle track, parks, and sports center to this city. Lower emissions of green house gases are also helping the enviroment with the help of Day Without Cars program.
People are slowly drifting away from their cars. The miles driven per person in the U.S. has dropped nearly nine percent since it's original peak in 1995. Many things have been suggested to reduced the car usage in the U.S. The number of car ownership per household and per person has come down three years before the downturn of car usage that started in the 2005. People in the U.S. are also more likely to retain a drivers license at an older age as to opposes to the younger age groups between 16-to-39-year-olds.
In conclusion, the age of cars are slowly coming to an end. People are planing for the cleaner and healther future that lies ahead of us, where pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation are woven together into a connected network. The revolution is upond us.

[/INST] Cars are a wonderful thing. They are perhaps one of the worlds greatest advancements and technologies. Cars get us from point a to point b. That is exactly what we want isnt it? We as humans want to get from one place to anther as fast as possible. Cars are a suitable to do that. They get us across the city in a matter of minutes. Much faster than anyhting else we have. A train isnt going to get me across the city as fast as my car is and neither is a public bus, but those other forms of transportation just might be the way to go. Don't get me wrong, cars are an absolutly amazing thing but, maybe they just cause way to much stress, and maybe they hurt our environment in ways that we don't think they will. With a bus or a train you do not have to worry about washing your car or getting frustrated when stuck in a bad traffic jam on I-4. Also there is not as much pollution in air hurting our environment. You might not think so, but there are many advanteges to limiting our car usage.
One advantage that not only humans would benefit from, but also plants and animals is that there would be a lot less pollution in the air hurting out environment. Right now our cars give off gases that are extreamly harmful towards our environment. These gases are called green house gases and come out of the exhuast pipes in our cars. Your car alone dosent give off much gas but collectively, our cars give off enormous amounts of gases. This is especially true in big cities like France. In France, their pollution level was so high it was record breaking. due to that france decided to enforce a partial ban on cars. This is described in the second article " Paris bans driving due to smog", by Robert Duffer, " On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were orderd to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." After France limlited driving there congestion was down by 60 percent. " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France". So after five days of intense smog, 60 percent of it was clear after not using cars for only a little while. Even across the world in Bogota, columbia they are limiting driving and reducing smog levels. In the third article "car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", by Andrew Selsky, it describes the annual car-free day they have to reduce smog. " the goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog". So all over the world people are relizing that wilthout cars, we are insuring the saftey and well being of our environment.
The second advantage that would come with limiting car use is less stress. Everyone knows that driving a car causes emence amounts of stress. Getting caught in traffic is a major cause of stress in someones life. Haveing to repeatingly wash your car just to get it dirt again causes stress. Having people in the back of your car screasming and yelling all while music is blasting, causes stress. So obviously driving causes stress. If we were to limit our car usage we would not be as stressed as we usually are. There would be no traffic, no car washes and no one screaming in a small confineded space. In the first article " In German Suburb, life goes on without cars", by Elisabeth Rosenthal, a citezen named Huidrun Walter, states " When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way". So with out the stress of a car Huidrun Walter is a looser and happier person, less stress equals happier person. In the third article, " Car-free dai is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", by Andrew Selsky, it states " It's a good opportunity to take away stress...". If we have the opportunity to take away stress, why not take it. It is a huge advantage in our lives to limit driving if it takes away stress. No one wants stress, no one needs stress, and if we have an opportunity to take some of the stress away, take that opportunity.
In conclusion, there are many advanteges to limiting car use, one being theat we get to help the environment and two being that it helps reduce stress. Our environment is already screwed up in so many ways, if we can help it to become the healthy enironment it once was, then do it. Stress is proven to impare your personal health, no one wants to be unhealthy and no one wants stress in their life. If you want the environment to get better and you want to reduce stress in your life then take this advantage and impliment it. Some might not think that this is an advantage, but i just explained that it is a clear advantege that has been proved to help the enviornment and reduce stress. Limiting car use is a very effective advantage that really does work in more than one place.

[/INST] What are some advantages of limiting car usage? Some may say that there is no advantages but many would like to differ, Some advantages that we would have would be less polution , Smog, or even a chance to exercise . But lets talk about polution. Polution takes a major affect on the world and many people might not see this, but limiting car usage can help prevent this . Polution is constantly harming us and the world around us. It destroys are Ozone Layer, causes smog , and much more. And if limiting car usage can help prevent this why not? This is when todays socity kicks in to play. In todays socity some people are just to lazy i'm not saying im not guilty of this
However , i'm not saying that anyone is. See some people decide to take there cars wherever they go, even if it is just three to four blocks down the road. If we just decide to walk more maybe we can reduce polution. Let's say that you have a local Walmart or Supper store about a one mile radious away from were you live and all you need is a gallon of milk or just something to eat, im not saying spending over three hundred in grocries. Just something little why not just walk it? Now im not saying that if there was an emergancy like your kid got in an accident or your wife is in labor to walk them to the hostbitol. You should be able to use your car in those types of situations. But Like i said If we all do that for the little things we might just be able to stop polution.
Other ways to prevent this from happening? In source three the passage written by:
Selsky, Andrew it talks about a car free day! This would be an Excelent way to help prevent smog and air polution. But to make this take a major impact on the world is to get everybody to do this. not just a few states but the whole contry. This will benifit the world and you more then you might think. In passage one written by:
Rosenthal, Elisabeth there was a statement made,
"How much you drive is as important as whether you have a hybrid."
. This stood out to me because a hybrid is an electrive operated car and some of these cars don't take or burn any fosil fules . Wich will also help prevent all of the affects cars have on the world and us. In conclusion , We should all try to walk around a little more then use are cars for little things we should all try to be a little more active and help prevent the world from getting worst then it all ready is!

[/INST] There are many advantages to limiting car usage. Limiting car usage helps to cleanse the environment, saves citizens money, and can help with improving citizens health.
One advantage to limiting car usage is that it will cleanse the environment. Cars give off a number of gallons of gas each time they're used. These toxic chemicals found in gases pollute the air. Imagine breathing in all of that waste! Studies have actually found evidence that the toxins from car fuel are very harmful to the health of animals, plants, and humans. It can cause breathing difficulties associated with problems in the lungs when inhaled too heavily as well as it dirties plants and makes it more difficult for them to grow healthy, like they should, and it can even poison and kill the animals. Who wants to take a risk so deadly?
Another advantage to limiting car usage is that it will save citizens money. Cars aren't cheap. Depending on the make and model of the car, they can cost anywhere from 20,000 to 60,000. Insurance and keeping up with the maintenance of a car also costs a lot. Car owners should be expecting to pay 100500 a month for car maintence, and if insurance is required, depending on the state that the car owner lives in, than another additional 100. Finally, is the price for gas. The price for gas in this day in age economy ranges from 3.006.00 per gallon! If a car owner has a long way to drive, but doesn't have a lot of money, heshe may want to consider taking a bus or carpooling with someone to help them out.
A rather more humorous advantage to limiting car usage, is that it could help give citizens a work out. Instead of driving where they need to go, people could walk to their desired destination and burn a ton of calories while doing it! Or in contrast to waiting for a friend to pick them up outside their houses, they could walk to a bus stop and wait for the bus to take them wherever they need to go. This also relates to saving money and helping cleanse the environment. Citizens' will pay less for a gym membership now that they're getting a work out. They'll also be helping the environment by not burning all of those fuel wastes just to get to where they need to go. It's a winwin for everyone!
Of course, there are many advantages to limiting car usage for our citizens, their wallets, and the environment. These three are just a few of the plentiful, conservative ways out there however, they're all extroardinarily efficient.

[/INST] There can be many advantages and disadvantages to having a car but the advantages to not having a card greatly outweighs having one. There can be many reasons why not having a car is great but the main three are it reduces pollution, reduces stress, and having less cars reduces the noice pollution in a city. Can you imagine a place with no cars?
First off the main advantage of limiting car use is less pollution. Cars account for 12% of gas emissions in Europe and 50% in America. Without cars the air would be much cleaner and the Smog would be gone over the cities. London had so much smog over the city that they had to cut car use in half with all of their citizens. After only five days most of the smog was gone and people could go back to driving. Imagine if we had everycar in the world stopped driving we could get rid of most of the smog in less than one week.
Another great point on how limiting car use can help is it will reduce the stress greatly in peoples lives. In the first source a man from Vauban Germany said, "When I had a Car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Also another man from Columbia said during a day without cars, "Its a good opportunity to take away stress..." Most stress comes from roadrage or getting stuck in a major traffic jam. Imagine how stresless people will be without cars Finnaly reducing car use will greatly reduce the noice pollution everywhere. When you go out side whats the first thing you hear? People? children? NO, all you can hear is the engine of cars everywhere. In a city where they banned most cars the sound of childrean drown out the occasional car engine not the other way around. Can you imagine how peacefull that would be not waking up to the sound of cars?
In conclusion having a car can have its advantages but limiting there use would be far better for people. It would help stop air pollution, reduce stress, and reduce noice pollution in cities and suburbs.

[/INST] global warming has been said to be a problem for years now. it has been said that we are slowly but surely destroying our o-zone layers. and air pollution is for sure one of the main causes. Smog levels have risen substancially and it shows, but there are more and more solutions that are begining to show.
germany definitely has the right approach here. they live in what is pretty much a car free society. in a one square mile city of 5500 people, 70% of them do not have cars. everything in that city is within walking or biking distance so there is no need for one. having a society like this is also very stress relieving in a sense. you no longer have the every day stress of being on a highway or constantly alert for cars, a society like this is for the most part more laid back then a regular one. the amount of exercise is also increased here because you are walking or biking everywhere, you are constantly moving. it is something that every country should take into consideration. the long term effects of pollution will be detremental to our world and we know that. now is our time to fix that.
tail pipe emission accounts for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in europe and up to 50% in dense cities in the United States. and after near record breaking pollution in just a matter of days, paris decided to put a partial ban on driving. by doing this congestion in the city was down 60%, and by doing this the smog cleared relatively quickly. in this short amount of time that driving was partially banned we were able to see a large decrease in not only pollution but the amount of congestion in a city. not only does this make everyday life safer for every day citizens but improves the living quality of all people by making the air and world cleaner. projects like this are showing multiple benefits and great long term affects, not only for car drivers but for pedestrians that are walking the streets to, if congestion in a busy city is down by that much it makes getting around a lot easier for someone who walks/bikes/or runs eveerywhere. i think its crucial for people to understand the upsides to having societies like this. grnated it will be hard to adjust to but the upsides to it will outwiegh the cons in the long run.
a big thing to look at here in one of the benefits of having a car free society like this is not just the pollution but the exercise rate. as americans we are without a doubt an overweight country and thats obvious. what having something like this would do for us is incredible. even if it was a one day thing to try like Bogota, Colombia. once a year everyday they have what is called a "car free day" where everyone in the city is restricted from using cars unless it is a taxi or transit. this now enforces or allows if you will, everyone to ride a bike, skate, run, or walk to their destination. the streets are left practically empty. when you also do this you can bring improvements to your community. Bogota went from a cracked unevenly paved sidewalk to the replacement of smooth broad and even sidewalks. parks and sport centers have increased and blossomed all throughout the city, and you see the community just start to come together as a whole.
Now with all this being said there obviously are still downsides to cutting out gas producing cars. weather being a main one. suppose it rains one day, how do you get to work? not only that but in warmer climates if you have to go a longer distance to get to your job it gets hot and if you are in your suit and tie you're going to be sweating. if you are a blue collar worker, you have equipment that you have to keep on you at all times not having a vehicle will restrict that. not being able to drive will also slow down many buisnesses that travel to someones home such as a lawn service or a plumber. if you work out of town how do you get to your job? people would have to leave their families and move closer to their workplace if they worked out of town or quit their job. there is a lot to take into consideration when you think about all the possibilities of creating a society like this. and the only way this could work is if it was incorporated the same way that it was for Vauban germany. if you had a one square mile society where everything was walking distance and your job was in the area then i believe it would be extremely beneficial, but areas like that are few and far between and making areas like that would change the geography of the entire country.
by no means are we as a country (America) ready to change to this kind of society any time soon, but i do think that in due time we can benefit from this in a huge way. but there is a lot that has to change and our nation as a whole has to be willing to conform to this. there would be a substancial amount of change in this nation if this were to happen and we as a country are not one that necessarily likes change. we like our two car white pickett fence houses and cutting that out of everyones lives would no go over well with the majority of Americans. this is something that the future of America needs to seriously take into consideration. its appearant that we are destroying our world every single day and we are one of the main contributors. this is our chance to help ourselves and the generation to come, but are we willing to conform and put our luxiories aside for the greater good of mankind?

[/INST] When you turn sixteen, you're filled with anticipation and anxst of getting your liscence, and furthermore a car! I know, I have certaintly been there. But, what's so good about getting a car? Well, other than the new found sense of freedom. Not much. Car usage has accelerated since the 1900's and is starting to gradually decline. Why? Less stress, less pollution, and more excerise. These things alone may not be enough to convince you, so let's jump into the facts.
First off, getting rid of that car in your driveway will greatly lower your stress. "As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"". When you think about it, it truly makes sense. When you have a car you have to worry about gas prices, payments, and fixes. But, when you live a car free life none of that is of your concern. So, therefore your stress decreases and your happiness can go up to an all time high. When you have one less bill each month it truly does leave an impact.
Secondly, we have a big issue that is in our hands... Pollution and smog. Who's fault is it? Ours. Fumes and smoke crowding into our atmosphere with no where else to go. Our cars are a huge part of it. "Diesel fuel was blamed" in France for their smog layers. "Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions." We need to put a stop to this. It is destroying our planet. It will continue to destroy it until we make a change and do something to make this stop. It's in our hands and we can't just let it go. The problem will not just go away. It will not just fix itself.
When you are living in this day in age many people have cars, so they have no need to go out and walk, or skate, or bike anywhere because they have a more "efficiant" way of transportation. "Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday," This means that people would be getting up and active to get to work and other places that they may need to be. Helping our environment and themselves.
Furthermore, cars are slowly but surely being forgotten, people are stopping their use of cars and taking alternative transportation. "But America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling." So, it's not as big of a deal as it used to be. Not everyone needs or wants to have a car anymore. "If the pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for the carbon emmissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants." When you decide that you don't want a car, you're benefiting from it and the future is benefiting from it. Taking the next step seems a bit out of reach but we can make it.
In conclusion, people see cars as something that is a must have. Or, a next step in their freedom. But, we can change that. Show the world that it is more harmful than helpful. "One small step for man, a leap for mankind." We can get there, but it takes more than one person to set down the keys. Reduce your stress, reduce the pollution, and increase your happiness. All it takes is one person to start a movement.

[/INST] As the world changes and humans present more and more issues involving the enviroment many things must change in order to survive. cars are a huge problem to not only the enviroment but to us people also. it has been proven by scientist that cars provide more stress to humans lives, cars are also responsible for a majority of the green house gasses emmited on earth, and
Cars in the modern day are playing a huge role in many people everday lives, most even depend on the car to move on with the ir days. What most don't know is that the use cars provide more issuse within their daily lives than not using them. for example a mother of two from vauban, germany states that " when she used a car everyday she used to be very tense, and now that she has given away her car theat she is much happier". scientist have proven that " having to keep a car up and running, and dealing with all of the maintence that comes with it is casing many families to begin pinching pennies". Cars consume most of the money that people earn there for many people are becoming poor because they must take care of their automobile.
" Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in europe ...and up to 50% in most car-intensive areas in the united states" say scientist. After a day of a partial driving ban to clear the air of smog in paris; congestion on the streets was down 60%, and the smog nearly covering France also lessened. The main cause of the build up of smog over France is because of the cold nights and warm days caused the warm layer of air in the atmosphere to trap car emissions. The use of diesel fuel in France also contributed to the intensifiying smog; considering that diesel fuel is used in 67% of vehicles in France.
The emission of Greenhouse gases from cars is destroying our enviroment and atmosphere which could potentially end up harming people in the long hall. So the decrese of car usage and the increse of riding bikes and walking to reach our destinations such as the people of Vauban, Germany could not only help the enviroment but make life slightly easier and less stressful.

[/INST] Dont get me wrong cars are a good thing for but we do not need them to live. We use them to get around but look at how much money it costs us in gas and just to bye the car. Plus it is destroying are ecosystem at a alarmingly high rate. Why use cars when we can just walk or bike where we need to go.
So ya we use cars to get around but we dont need them. take a look at this town called Vauban, in Germany "near the Swiss and French border". the streets of "Vauban are completely "car free"". so if they can do it why cant we.
""after five -days of intesifying smog...[the smog] rivaling Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world.""paris enforced a partial driving ban to clesr the air of the global city." and with all this "paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (pm) per cubic meter compared with" "79.7 in London". Ok London did a week without cars because of smog but with all the pollution from car emissions that they did not use that week was a lot when u facter in that they had as crapy air as Beijing, China,and they only got rid of half there cars for they week. Imagine how mutch cleaner are air would be if we got rid of all are cars for just a week. By then we would be used to it so even bring the cars back that right there would keep making are air clean.
With getting rid of cars for one day "it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" .Now look at what president Oboma is doing he is trying to cut back on greenhouse emmisions and i thinnk it is woking. "Americas love affair with its vehicals seems to be cooling. when adjusted for population growth, the number of miles driven in the united states peaked in 2005 and droped steadily thereafter."Now" if this pattern persistes and many sociologist belive it will-it will have benifits implicating for carbon emissions and enviormental, since transportation is the second largest source of america's emmisions,just behind power plants." so with this if we keep this up we can reduce pollution and help save this world one car at a time that is why i am asking u to ditch that mostrocity that u are driving and maby walk or bike to work.

[/INST] The modern automobile has been the axle to the wheel of the smog ridden contemporary age. Within a century, a car could be found within virtually every home across every developed nation. Though in recent years, the societal infatuation with private automobiles has begun to diminish. multiple European and South American countries began instituting beneficial "carfree" municipal policies and statistics show a decline in license registration and car purchases across the U.S. The progression of the "carfree" policies and trend will have beneficial ecological, economical, and social implications on the modern world.
The concern of greenhouse gas emissions from cars has been of much concern within the scientific world. With cities such as densely populated Bejing often covered in sheets of poisonous smog, the high emissions has proven deadly to both human and environmental life. According to source 2, Paris recently was plagued by statuated amounts of smog rivaling that of Bejing. The French solution to this problem was municipal action and a week long ban on certain vehicles. The smog contained nearly 147 micrograms of particulate matter and the country's high use of diesel as a gasoline alternative was a contributing factor. The policy was immediately effective as the smog lifted after only one day of the ban. Though the smog that plagued Paris is not only a problem of the French. As stated by Source 1, passenger cars alone are responsible for up to 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions within carintensive areas of the U.S. such as Chicago and detroit.
The focus on automobiles with the development of carintensive cities, such as the aforementioned Chicago and detroit, has carried an economical burden in tandem with it's ecological consequences. According to Source 1, 80 percent of monetary appropriations have gone to highways with 20 percent going to other forms of public transit. As exemplified within the same article, Vauban, Germany has pioneered the carfree suburban model. Maximizing ergonomic to improve public foot transit, it has financially benefited from the prohibition of cars and the nuturing of its environment. Within the South American capital of Bogota, Columbia, who have been promoting an improvement campaign designed to encourage pedestraincentric municipal development. As an effect of in newly revitalized walkways and parks, an industry of shops and restaurants appeared.
Within the United States the "carfree" movement has been gaining support. As stated by Source 4, President Obama demonstrated his vision to curb greenhouse gas emissions in a speech in 2013. This statement was aided by polls showing a demopraghic shift in licensed citizens.

In Paris, they enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. In BOGOTA, Columbia millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during car free day. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act, If cautiously.
In VAUBAN, Germany 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter. As you walk Verdant streets where you can here the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drowning out the occasional distant of motors.
In Paris, diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe. On Monday motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 31 dollar fine. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined.
In BOGOTA, Columbia there goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faced a 25 dollar fine. Being car free is a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. Parks and sport centers blooming, no traffic just people and there everyday life.
The United States is the birthplace of the Model T,the home of Detroit, the place where Wilson Pickett immortilized "Mustang Sally." Presidents Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States green house gas emission is slowly working. The number of miles driven per person is nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. New York's new bike sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities, as do a proliferation of car sharing programs across the nation.
In conclusion, life without cars keeps life fresh. Cars are destroying the earth from smog. We will be much happier people with out cars. Having to see all the children and all the wonderful people actually having a good time with there families. Cars are every where but if we can reduce the amount of cars being driven maybe we can save the earth from air pollution.

[/INST] Personal automobiles and cars have played a major role throughout the world since the invention of the car in World War 2. Cars have been a very successful invention and many people drive their own every day on their way to work, school or other places their feet cannot carry them. Though the car has fulfilled its duties in making the lives of humans easier, it has also contributed to many negative events. For example, car emissions get trapped in the atmosphere and cause living things to breathe in dirty air around them. Therefore, a revolutionary idea has been spreading around the world: using personal automobiles less. The new aspect of using cars less has promoted a happier society, a cleaner environment, and an open attitude towards alternative transportation.
First of all, by establishing an agreement to decrease car use, people have been said to be happier and stressfree. The continuing congestion and traffic jams that are among most areas of the world, create an enormous amount of stress for the people driving. Many develop road rage or irritability and are unhappy after suffering from a long ride home because of traffic. Some believe that cities should become more like Vauban, a community in Germany in which the citizens have given up their cars, because those who live there are not focused on driving and are pleased living in such a manner. Heidrun Walter, a mother who lives in Vauban, portrays her love for this carfree community when she states, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" Rosenthal. By living in an area with little or no use of cars, the society becomes more cheerful and has less stress to cope with. In addition, with no cars people are forced to spend more of their time outside to get from one place to another. In Bogota, Colombia there is an annual carfree day, in which anyone who does use their car has to pay a fine. Many spend their day outside walking or riding their bikes to get around and believe that the carfree day is "a good opportunity to take away stress..." Selsky. As they exercise more without cars and enjoy the great outdoors, they wear bright smiles on their faces and look at things with a positive attitude.
With a smaller amount of people using their personal vehicles, less gas emissions are becoming a part of the Earth's atmosphere. Humans breathe in the gases that are polluting the air and can become sick from it. The environment suffers from the dirty air and may not be able to sustain life if there is not a stop to the large amounts of pollutants being emitted into the air. In the United States, passenger cars are the cause of "up to 50 percent" of greenhouse gas emissions while in Europe they are "responsible for 12 percent" Rosenthal. This means that the car use in the United States is ruining the air around us and assists greatly in creating a disgusting environment. In popular and global cities, pollution is even more noticeable and overwhelming. For example, in Paris smog has become an everlasting issue. The climate in the area contributes to the smog filling the air along with the use of cars: "Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions" Chicago Tribune. To reduce the smog in the area, an elaborate plan was taken into action. Cars with even license plates could not drive on certain days and cars with odd license plates could not drive on the other days. By doing this, the air in Paris cleared up dramtically. Therefore by promoting a system where car usage is not as common, the environment can become healthier and cleaner, which benefits the citizens of the Earth.
Last, declining the use of cars creates an open attitude towards alternative transportation methods. Those who live in carfree communities discover new ways to reach the destinations they have reach throughout the day. Some will utilize their body and take advantage of nature by biking or walking from one place or another. Others might us public transportation or will carpool with those who do own a car. As previously mentioned before, Colombia participates in a car free day, which means "Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses" to get where they needed to be Selsky. Their use of other means of transportation on the day without cars, exemplifies that it is possible to live using other ways to get around. Some people are against the idea of using other transportation, but if they were to see the impact the alternatives have, they would be more accepting. These days many young people tend to get their license later by waiting until they reach their twenties, suggesting that they can live a happy life without relying on a personal automobile. Instead of using their own cars, they find other ways to get to work or school. These people become acclimated to organizing their lives "around where they can walk or take public transportation or carpool with friends" Rosenthal. Younger people who commit their lives to walking or public transportation, become aware of the fact that driving a machine that can negatively affect the world is not a necessity. Their awareness then can continue passing on to each generation and can ultimately prevent the excessive use of cars throughout the world.
In conclusion, a life without cars might be a life worth living since it contributes to a stressfree society, a healthy environment, and an acceptance of other means of transportation. By relying less on cars, people can eliminate the variety of negative impacts on the world. The Earth can become a happier, cleaner, and more accepting place with a dead engine.

[INST] Write an explanatory essay to inform fellow citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage. Your essay must be based on ideas and information that can be found in the passage set. Manage your time carefully so that you can read the passages; plan your response; write your response; and revise and edit your response. Be sure to use evidence from multiple sources; and avoid overly relying on one source. Your response should be in the form of a multiparagraph essay. Write your essay in the space provided. [/INST] Over the years the amount of cars that have been manufactured have increased immensely. Cars help us get to place quicker by making less effort to get there. We no longer need to walk to go to the park or the mall which can take a long time. Although cars are very useful and fun to drive, it also has its risk like anything else on Earth. Which is why i think limiting car usage would be a great idea.
Most cars use gasoline or diesel as there fuel to get them going. This causes problems because the fuel that is burned pollutes the atmosphere and creates smog. Paris had this problem before. In the article "Paris bans driving due to smog", Robert Duffer says that Paris had "days of nearrecord pollution" and they attempted to reduce it by applying a 22euro fine 31. As a result congestion in Paris was down 60 percent and the smog, as stated in the article, "cleared enough for the French party to rescind the ban of oddnumbered plates" Getting rid of the smog and having less air pollution would help not only the environment but i can also help us breathe oxygen easier. Limiting car usage can help us decrease pollution and increase breathable oxygen.
Limiting car usage can benefit us in many ways. It can reduce air pollution which not only helps us breathe better but it also helps the environment. It can also relieve stress. Everyone that drives a car knows how stressful it can be sometimes. Any traffic jam can turn a regular day to a stressful day. Hearing someone honking their horn, yelling "Come on! Move already!" and adding some unnecessary profanity can be very irritating. In the article "Carfree day is spinning into big hit in Bogota" Andrew Selsky says that for the third straight year the city of Bogota have a carfree day called Day Without Cars. "The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog" states the article. A lot of people actually participated in this event even thought it rained that day. The Mayor of Bogota Antanas Mockus said that even though it is raining it "hasn't stopped people from participating". It was a great idea to have a day like this to relax and not be stuck in traffic which is one reason why one businessman was happy. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" said Carlos Arturo Plaza. It's a great event that should spread to the world. It will be very helpful to us and the environment.
In conclusion, limiting car usage is very beneficial. It can relieve stress and reduce air pollution.

[/INST] Life without cars may seem like a distant dream, but dreams are becoming a reality with new expiremental towns, banning of driving in some cities, and a national day without cars. Cars are causing, in some cases, more and more pollution everywhere. Although we ignore the signs of pollution everyday, we must face the fact that we are polluting our planet, and something needs to be done about it.
Vauban, Germany. A little city that has a strange law, to live in this city, you must give up your car or pay $40,000 to park it. As a result, "70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold their car to move here" stated Source 1. Heidrun Walter, a mother of two and a media trainer stated, "When i had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way". This new form of seperate suburban life from auto use is called "Smart Planning". passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissionsin Europe, and up to 50 percent in the United States. With Smart Planning, we can cut back on greenhouse gasses and start to breathe cleaner, healthier air.
Another example of over pollution problems due to cars is Paris, France. Source Two states, "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city". Congestion was down 60 percent for those five days. The reason there was so much smog in the air was due to the diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is the mail fuel used in France, 67 percent of the people there use it. Another factor could be the climate there. With "cold nights and warm days caused by the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions" Stated in Source Two.
Europe isn't the only continent seeing change. Bogota, Colombia was celebrating its 3rd straight year of, Day Without Cars. The Day Without Cars is a banning of cars and only busses and taxis are permitted. Carlos Arturo Plaza stated, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". For the first time this year, two more Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar are taking part in this Day Without Cars.
America too is seeing change with cars. The number of miles driven in the US peaked in 2005, but has been steadily dropping after. As of April 2013, 'the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the county was in January 1995", states Source four. Although the drop in car usage will have a benificial effect on the environment, it will have negitave implications for car industries. Ford and Mercedes are already taking steps to rebrand themselves to "mobility" companies. Although car companies aren't the only ones changing their ways due to the drop in car usage. New York started a new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing. They have started building more bike paths and tunnel tolls are reflecting the new priorities.
Cars have done enough damage to this earth and its time we fix what we have caused. With all these new eco-friendly and car lacking ideas, we are so close to the isea where we can live without cars taking over our life.

[/INST] Limiting car usage will give us many benefits. A projects such as Vauban and BOGOTA were completed to show us the multitude of advantages received from it.
Reducing car usage would be excellent for our environment. Research shows us that "passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States"Rosenthal. Our world is very materialistic and sometimes we forget that to even have life, we must have the environment. "Cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities"Rosenthal. Therefore, limiting the amount of cars would allow us to have more efficient green houses, and more land area for plants.
Money is also a huge factor here. The government spends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in the transportation department. By lowering the number of cars on the road, the less wear and tear is done to them. This would be beneficial in many departments because then we would have more money for the things we need but cannot afford in our area and or country. Infact, "80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transportation"Rosenthal.
Driving also causes stress. Traffic jams, new or confusing road signs, attitudes of passengers, are all distribution of stress, especially when you get lost! If the amount of driving we did by ourselves was cut back, we could also cut back stress. BOGOTA helps to prove this, and even says that violaters of no car day were "fined 25Selsky.
Lastly, if we do not put a stop to so much driving, our personal health may be in risk. According to souce 4, "the car industry is the second largest in the world." This means that the air is constantly being polluted with exhuast. Which also means that what's in your lungs at this very moment, could be a lot more than just oxygen. It's very scary to think that the same chemicals it takes to run your car, might just be what's floating around in your body. This could lead to multiple health problems and future diseases. Therefore, this issue needs to be taken control of immediately.
In conclusion, reducing car usage would be an amazing thing to do for oursleves and the people around us. We would save our air and bodies from being polluted, we would save money, and save time not stressing out. Who doesn't want these things? Limiting car usage would be a fantastic idea.
