[/INST] Transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions (Rosenthal 34). Global warming is becoming more of an issue as time goes on, part of this problem is vehicles and their pollution they let off. People are getting more and more worried about this as temperatures continue to rise on Earth. They are trying to do something about it. One of the more popular suggestions to help solve the issue is to limit car usage. I know, it seems pretty bizare due to the fact that some towns, such as my own, do not have everything citizens need within a walking distance. Benefically, "stores are being placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway.(Rosenthal 6)". It is thought that it will "drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some areas of the United States (Rosenthal 5)". People also are not putting forth an effort to help decrease the pollution by buying hybrids, instead they buy Diesels. Diesel gas has more pollutants then regular gasoline.
Safety is another reason to reduce car usage. Think about it, if pedestrians reduced their car usage by 50 percent the percentage of car accidents would also decrease. This could save many people's lives; animals as well. Rosenthal said, "Cities could become denser, and better for walking", which also makes it safer. To go along with saving lives lets mention health. Americans are getting more and more unhealthy and overweight. It is a rising problem in our country. Many people die from it everyday; obesity can be stopped. One way to lose weight and get in shape is exercise. Imagine how much better shape Americans would be in if we actually had to walk to the grocery store or McDonald's. It would make us think "do we really need that?". Those extra burned calories count, sitting in a car does not burn many calories.
Traffic jams are aggravating to most people, with the decreasing number of car owners time is being saved. There is less traffic. Andrew Selsky studied car-free day in Bogota, and he stated "rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic(28)", this means time is being saved and people are getting to their destinations faster. Another idea was said by Carlos Arturo Plaza "it's a good opprotunity to take away stress...(Selsky 24)". Congestion stresses everyone out, whether running on time, running late or just taking a leisurely drive. It makes everyone stress. Congestion actually decreased 60 percent in Paris (Duffer 14). Heidrun Walter also said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."
Limiting car usage helps a number of problems throughout the globe, such as to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, improve safety, and even improve your health (Rosenthal 43). You may wonder what other ways are there for you transport to the places you need to go. You could walk, jog, hike, bike, skate, or take public transportation. There are so many options and you have the opprotunity to meet new people and exercise if you're having a busy day. America should try it out just for a day and see what it leads to.

[/INST] What are the advantages of limitng car usage? Well ther are some causes of the use of car which is polllution. like it says in the passage, "Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower pollution" (source 3). Pollution can be really bad for the people. " The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violateros wil be fine twenty five dollars" (source 3). In bogota they have had a change with limiting car usage. "It was third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in this capital city of seven million" (source 3).
People have been affected by this cause. Bogota has inpired many others to do this. Two Colombian cities has joine with them , Cali, and Valledupar. Bogota are "generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders" (source 3). Bogota just had one thing on their mind, which was to reduce smog. Ther are many other places with this king of cause. Paris has been the one most affected. " Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals" ( source 2). There has been four thousand drivers fined, and twenty seven had their car impounded for their reaction of the fine. " After days of near-recorded pollution, Paris enfourced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" (source 2).
The United States has been doing some reserach and turns out that, " Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. The United States has been " one of the worls prime car cultures" (source 4). The united states have had the highest population growth of mile driven in two-thousand five and dropped down afterwards. The miles driven was nine percent lower than it was in two-thousand five. Car pullution has been affectig people. This is why they are reducing car usage. Its for their own good.
Pollution has been stopped with limiting the use of cars. People have been riding bikes, walking, etc, to places they have to go. They have sacrificed the use of car but has advanced their lifestyle. The have made a commitment to decrease the population of pollution. There have been talks to start inventing plug-in-cars, hybrids, and car carrying three or more passengers. There are going to find a way to stop pollution.
In Conclusion, pollution has been affecting people lives. They have done everything possible to stop pollution. There are limiting the use of cars, they are begining to transport themselves by bikes, or they walkThere goals are to " promote alternative transportation and reduce smog" (source 3). "The turnout was large despite the grey clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota" (source 3). All that smog goes up into the air and affects us. The limited car usage is really a good thing for your health and later on in your life.

[/INST] All around the world car use is declining and we are witnessing different approaches that reduce pollution and reliance on cars. In Vauban, Germany, an experimental suburb does not allow any cars and is compact so that transportation can be by foot or bike. In Paris, a number of days banned the use of cars for a large part of the population due to the amount of pollution and smog. In Bogota Columbia, one day a year is reserved as car-free day in which all cars are prohibited. Many other cities are joining in this "Holiday". Obviously the over-use of cars in todays society and the pollution it causes in large cities is a problem. These societies are taking steps toward making the areas better places to live.
The car-free community experiment of Vauban Germany was completed in 2006 and is home to 5,500 people. Many of the residents in the community including Heidrun Walter feel "...much happier this way". In my opinion a car-free community in which I can walk to any friends house or store sounds exciting and enjoyable. Also, the amount of pollution it would decrease would be outstanding. Many communities are noticing this trend and are interested in how it is catching on.
In Paris, France a ban of cars with certain license plates was enforced to clear the air of the city. The ban was enforced after near-record breaking pollution. The smog created an unhealthy atmosphere full of congestion. After nearly a week, the smog cleared enough that the ban was rescinded.
A car-free day is taking hold in Colombia, started by Bogota, in which one day a year all car-use is prohibited. The citizens are often excited to participate and for the last three years the turnout has grown. This participation helps the pollution in the society and influences other communities to do the same. All of these societies are taking different approaches to reducing car-use but they are all working. Hopefully limiting car usage will continue to grow throughout the world.

[/INST] Cars are used for transporting from place to place, but is it really the best way to get somewhere? There are many factors that are being affected when using cars. Many people believe cars are the best way to get somewhere but the only good thing about a car is the amount of time it takes to get somewhere. Even time isn't a good reason for why cars are being used. Limiting car usage would have so many advantages that people should take advantage of.
To begin with, some people use alternative transportation rather than cars. For example, Germany, Paris, and Columbia don't use cars on a daily basis like most people do in other countries. Those specific countries have either banned cars or they just don't need cars to transport from one place to another. Source 1 states, " Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up their cars." In my neighborhood, most people walk to the public right near our community because they either don't have a car or they just prefer to walk. Although it might be quicker to go in car, it is environmentally friendly to ride your bike or walk. In Source 3 states, " 'It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,' said the businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as her rode a twoseat bicycle with his wife." Taking a walk somewhere or riding a bike can be a great workout or just creates calmness if you are stressing. Alternative transportation are a good because then people wouldn't cause any harm to the environment or affect anything else.
In addition, smog is an issue that should be reduced which would limit car usage. Some places like Paris have already reduced smog so they could clear the air in their city. Source 2 states, " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after fivedays of intensifying smog..." When the smog arose in Beijing, the amount of cars reduced which cleared the streets of France. Smog could be seen as a good thing because once it arouse, the amount of cars used decreased. Limiting car usage is a good thing, and people should realize that.
To conclude, there are so many advantages for limiting car usage. People have many other options instead of using cars and they should take advantage of that. Smog has created cars to be banned in many cities. Alternative transportaion makes many people not use cars and that is a good thing. Next time think about whether you want to use a car or just use something else.

[/INST] Cars. Are they really needed? For long trips most likely yes but, there are many advandages to limiting car usage. It is a way to get out and exercise and get healthy, and also it does not produce as much pollution in the air.
Limiting your car usage is a good way to get outside and do some phycial activity. Instead of, getting into your car and staring it up and wasting gas money to go to the drug store to buy something small or anything. You can get up and walk, bike, skate or even roller blade! " Heidrun Walter of Vauban, a media trainer says "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," As she walked verdant streets where the swish of bikes and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor." Also, in the story it stated while there have been efforts to make cities cleaner, and better for walking in Vauban, they place stores and, I think malls a walk away. Insead of a highway away. I think talking the extra mile is better than paying for another mile.
Another reason why not using your car so much is a good thing is that it doesnt produce as much pollution as it once did, or it is doing now. "Passenger cars are more responsible for 12 percent of greenshouse gas emmisions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." Also after a couple days of a record pollution, Paris enforced a driving ban to clear the air from smog in the city. The stuffed up smog went down 60 percent after five days. Later on the smog moved on to China, which is probably the most polluted city in the world." Its is said that Paris has more smog than other European capitals. It states that Paris had 147 microrganisms of particulate matter (pm) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels.
In conclusion, There are many advantanges and disadvantages to not using your car so much or limiting your car usage. You can get going outside, walk, hike, bike ect. and get a good workout. Or you can choose to help save our planet and not continue polluting the world for everyone.

[/INST] When it comei to automobilei they can provide ui with numeroui benefiti. However, it would appear that limiting car uie hai far more advantagei than thought of before: it can help the environment, provide eaiier meani of commuting, and it can cut down on traffic congeition.
To begin, it would appear ai though that limited car uiage ii a environment iaving technique. For initance, within the article "In German Suburb, Life Goei On Without Cari" by Eliiabeth Roienthal, it itatei of the exiitence of a imall iuburban city namei Vauban, Germany that hai nearly obiolete the uie of automobilei. Within the fifth paragraph of the article they talk of why it ii io neceiiary for thii to become a trend,"Automobilei are the linchpin of iuburbi... And that, experti iay, ii a huge impediment to current efforti to draitically reduce greenhouie gai emiiiioni from tailpipe...paiienger cari are reiponiible for 12 percent of greenhouie gai emiiiioni in Europe...". Thii bit of information informi thoie that drive of the harmful effecti that our cari are creating upon the environment. However, if we are to limit our uiei of cari, and like the reiidenti of Vauban, and find alternative meani of traniportation then maybe we can reduce the amount of greenhouie gaiei that are being given off by cari. Similarly, Parii hai taken up a iimilar idea. In Robert Dufferi article, "Parii bani driving due to imog" he talki of the percautioni that France hai taken to driving and why. Parii hai created a ban io that thoie who have a liicenie plate that begini with an even number cannot drive on a certain day, and the next day thoie who have a liicenie plate that itarti with an odd number cannot drive. Thii all began becauie, "...after fivedayi of inteniifying imog... The imog rivaled Beijing, China, which ii known ai one of the moit polluted citiei in the world."paragraph 14. Pariii efforti to create leii imog wai a iucceii and they now implement the ban on Mondayi and Tueidayi. Due to leii driveri, they were even able to reduce the amount of imog polluting the air. Limited and reitrictive uiage on cari ieemi to be very helpful when iaving the environment.
Next, the near obiolete uie of cari hai made for eaiier modei of traniportation. For example, in Eliiabeth Roienthali paiiage " "In German Suburb, Life Goei On Without Cari" ihe telli of the many benifiti that limited car uie have upon their community. In paragraph iix ihe itatei that iuburbi are beginning to be,"...more compact and more acceiiible to public traniportation, with leii ipace for parking. In thii new approach, itorei are placed a walk away, on a main itreet, rather than in malli along iome diitant highway." Thii meaning that there will be more of an eaie when traveling and everything being cloier together. No longer will people have to drive milei away for iome groceriei, they will iimply either walk or ride the bui to their deitination. They will no longer be itreiied ai to what time they have left to reach a itore that ii a diitance away. Along the iame linei, ioemtimei it can be eaiier to not drive at all. In the article "The End of Car Culture" the author, Eliiabeth Roienthal, itatei how many people have found diffrent meani of getting to where they are going. In paragraph thirtyieven ihe iayi," New Yorki new bikeiharing program and iti ikyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolli reflect thoie new prioritiei...". From the information given, it appeari ai though finding eaiier meani of traniportation have become a new popular trend. Since pricei to travel by car are ioaring, the cheapier iolution appeari to juit be walking, or ai itated, riding a bike. Leading people to belive that the near extinction of car uiage hai left ui with eaiier meani of travel.
Laitly, chooiing to not uie cari more frequently hai left ui with leii traffic. In Andrew Selikyi "Carfree day ii ipinning into a big hit in Bogota" he talki about the reaioing for thii. "...millioni of Columbiani hiked, biked, ikated or took buiei to work during a carfree day yeiterday, leaving the itreeti of thii capital city eerily devoid of traffic jami."paragraph 20. Due to the environmentaly iafe meani of travel, traffic hai become a thing of the pait. Thii can alio mean for the reiidenti, a faiter, iafer way of traveling if they take a taxi or bui to their deitination. Even Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company had input to thii. Eliiabeth Roienthal wai able to incorporate a itatement into her article "The End of Car Culture" when on the iubject of the decline in car uiage. Mr. Ford had to iay that, "...pedeitrian, bicycle, private cari, commercial and public traniportation traffic are woven into a connected network to iave time, conierve reiourcei, lower emiiiioni and improve iafety." paragraph 43. Thii itatement can inform the general population that from the drop in cari on the road, it can improve our iafety and iave time becauie of the fewer motoriit on the road. That traffic ii nearing an end which can be a new age in which traffic ii gone. Which ii why, when people chooie not to uie cari it can help to reduce traffic.
In concluiion, when it comei to automobilei they can provide ui with numeroui benefiti. However, it would appear that limiting car uie hai far more advantagei than thought of before: it can help the environment, provide eaiier meani of traveling, and it can reduce traffic.

[/INST] In the last few years vehicle emissions have been heating and even destroying our atmosphere. Cities and even whole countries are taking precautions to lower the amount of fuel emissons recorded in the air. It's not only that people are trying to cut back to help the enviroment they just arent driving as much anymore for some reason, even in areas that driving would be more useful than other forms of transportation. You may want to cut back after seeing why they did too.
In Germany there is a suburban city that has given up their use of vehicles. One of the local residents stated "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." You may not notice it but the hustle and bustle of everyday life and commuting may just be putting more stress on you. Cutting out personal commute will not only be making your life less stressful it will also help clear the air in some cities as well. Passenger cars are responsible for nearly 50 percent of greenhouse gasses in car intensive areas in the United States. Something as simple as not driving as often or cutting back totaly can help you and others.
In Bogota, the capital of Colombia it has been the third straight year of
Day Without Cars. Day Without Cars is one day that all Colombians hike,bike,skate,walk or took public tranportation to get to work. The goal of
Day Without Cars is to promote alternative transportation and reduce fines. A citizen talking part in the action stated "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."
Now in America it has been recorded that Americans are buying fewer cars and getting less licences each year. The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and have been slowly and steadily dropping after. Transportation is is the second largest source of emissions but you can help lower that. More and more people have been choosing alternative transportation than ever before. Also more people have left the sub-urban enviroment and moved to urban ones so alternative transportation is even more needed than before. Also whats the point of driving if you live near the place you work cutting down on emissions is one of the most important objectives right now.
Many great things can and have come by cutting down private transportation. It conserves resources, cuts down on emissions, and also improves safety. Multiple people say that commuting less has made thier lives less stressful than ever before. The amount of smog in cities have decreased, helping to get cleaner natural air those compact areas. Anything you can do to help make your lives easier you should and cutting down on emissions can help make that easier.

[/INST] There are so many ways that limiting car usage is good for me, you and just everyone in general! Yes cars do have their advantages but like everything else they also have a few disadvantages. People should limit car usage more all around the world and heres a few reasons why..
Auto mobiles help in many ways they help you get to where your going faster and in a comfortable sitting condition, but although your body is comfortable are you really relaxed? i presume not! Having a car is a big responsibility which can also be very stressful. Think about it when you didnt have a car as a kid and young adult you didnt have to worry about if the insurance on your bike is payed , or if there was any mechanical problems with your legs. cars are expensive to buy and they continue to be quite the hefty financial load after youve bought the car too especially if no well maintained. In the article "IN GERMAN SUBURB, LIFE GOES ON WITHOUT CARS"' paragraph 3 sentences 46 Heidrun Walter says " When i had a car i was always tense..." This quote proves the point that having a car is quite stressful , but thats not all she goes on to say "i'm much happier this way" Why is she so much happier? cause not having or needing a car lifted a huge load off her shoulders thats one less thing to worry about on a daily basis.
Also lets not forget one of the biggest issues in the world POLUTION! Pollution is a huge problem that we constantly see on the news , hear on the radio , and we see every day. One of the worst forms of pollution is the kind thats in the air we breathe to live and cars play a role now lot of people may say "my one car cant possibly cause that much pollution" but if millions.. billions of people think the same way then thats billions of air polluting cars driving around the world polluting the air we breath to live! Paris made a great arrangement as stated in the article "PARIS BANS DRIVING DUE TO SMOG" they talk about how paris banned certain cars driving from one day and other cars the next. All the cars with even numbered liscense plates were to not be driven on monday and vice versa for the odd numbered liscense plates the next day. this was good because it only allowed about half the amount of cars that usually drive on a daily basis to drive. In time this should make quite the noticable difference in the smog and the overall experience of breathing the " fresh air".
In conclusion we should all limit car usage because it is less stress not having a car helps financially and lifts a great load of responsibility off of our shoulders and also if less people drive on a daily basis then there will be much less polution in the air and i dont know about you guys but id rather live longer than drive and die young, but thats just me.

[/INST] It's 5:00 am and you just wake up for school, but how do you get to school? Studies show the the majority of highschoolers drive. But many dont realize what emissions from fossil fuels do to the enviroment. Smog can destroy the ozone layer and induce toxins into are bloodstreams. Some countris have been inducing partial bans on cars. Limited car usage from these bands can help reduce smog, increase air quality, and save money.
The first reason why Limited car usage can be a good thing is because it can reduce smog, in heavily crowded cities passerby cars make up over 50% of fossil fuel emissions. Thats over half! reducing car usage can save the enviroment from pollution. in paris driving was partially banned for about a week and the smog in the city was reduced by almost 60%. just driving every other day instead of everyday could help your local enviroment immensly.
Secondly, Limited car usage can increase air quality. The use of less fossil fuels causes less carbon emissions. Carbon emissions can decrease the amounts of oxygen levels in the air. So to put it simply, less driving equals better air! It's that simple.
Lastly, Driving less frequently allows you to save money. Gas is expensive, the average American spends over 15% of their income on gas every year. That can really add up. I'm sure theres a million other things you would rather do with your money than pay for transportation. Many transits and buses offer free transport as a substitute. That's right, Free!
The reasons above are why limited car usage can be a good thing. So what if you have to ride a bike or use public transportation. Don't reducing smog, increasing air quality, and saving money seem more important than your complaints about sitting next to someone on the transit. Think about it.

[/INST] The age of cars has come to a grinding stop. Atleast, That's what the general consensus of these 4 articles seems to be. Although current youth do not see car buying as a major thing in their lives right now, it is highly unlikely it will remain as such because of the structure of an average american lifestyle.
Cars are a massive staple of the world and hold many things together and allow for fast, easy, convenient travel. The young people of today do not currently have to use cars to get where they are going because of many factors such as friends with cars, human powered forms of transportation - such as bicycles, skateboards, etc.-and parents with cars. Once these children move away from home to a college or to a job elsewhere they will need a car to maintain a normal lifestyle. We are currently in a second baby-boom, this means that there are many young people that do not need cars and thus do not have one, swaying the data away from the "car culture". While it is true that some people are trying to reduce their "carbon footprint" by driving less and using public transportation, the number of them is very small and irrelevant when compared to all people in the world. Cars maintain a large amount of appeal that cannot be found in any other form of transportation: This appeal is that it is your vehicle, to do whatever you want with and be free, it is also easy and convenient to get from place to place, it is a place to hang out with your friends and/or a significant other, it is also faster than any other form of transportation short of a helicopter or plane. Cars have so many benefits that people will not just quit driving because of increased carbon emissions, most of which is not entirely the fault of cars.
While cars do put out a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, that amount is inconseqeuntial compar3ed to the massive amou nts of carbon dioxide emitted by volcanos and by other human creations. One volcanic eruption emits around the same amount of carbon dioxide in a few hours as the entire country of America does in 10-15 years. Cars are not the true issue here, the main reason carbon dioxide is on tthe rise is because of the lack of trees and worldwide deforestation. All plant life can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen during photosynthesis, this means that more plant life equals less carbon dioxide. Instead of trying to reduce the number of cars in the world and make life harder on many people, the focus of the world should be to increase the amount of vegetation in the world so as to counterbalance the number of cars in the world.
Cars have long been an important factor in the world social, political, and economical structure. Before the second World War, Fuhrer Adolf Hitler decided that his people needed a cheap, basic car so as to increase Germany's economic prowess. Due to this vision Volkswagen, The people's car, was started. Volkswagen marked the start of cheap, affordable cars for everyday people. Although Germany lost World War II, their technology and ideas diffused to much of the world thanks to American and Soviet research. Their idea of a people's car spread around the world and the 1950's marked the start of massive sprawling suburbs that relied on personal vehicles to get to and from work, the store, school, or anywhere outside of the suburbs. This was a totally new type of lifestyle; It wasn't urban life where you could walk or ride a bus wherever you needed, and it wasn't rural where you made everything by hand and didnt travel often. No, this was something entirely new that was brought about because of the advent of cheap affordable personal transportation. Now everyone can get to work relying on only themselves and not bus drivers or train operators, people have a new sense of freedom afforded them by this magnificent new machine, the car.
The same ideas and principles that made cars such an important part of culture and life in the 1950's still remain in our lives today. Cars will remain an important part of world culture until another form of trasportation is easier, more convenient, and/or cheaper. A car gives its driver a fast, freeing, and flexible form of transportation unparalleled by anything today. Car use should not be limited, it should be encouraged.

[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] In the modern world, it's uncommon to see someone without a car. Most people own at least one, and use it frequently. In America, suburban areas have few public transport options available making it difficult to get to work or to a store without using a car. However, cars are a massive source of greenhouse gas emissions. Not only that, car accidents have led to millions of injuries and deaths. While companies are working to procure cleaner, safer car models all the time, other countries are taking actions to lower the number of people using personal automobiles every day.
In Vauban, Germany, cars are actually banned. This town is much cleaner, and its residents are all happy with the rule. Stores and buildings are placed closer together, making them accessable to more people. Many people bike and walk to the places they need to be. Not only is it good exercise, it cuts down on the pollution going into the air and destroying the ozone. By not driving, no one has to be plagued by the worries of speeding, not going fast enough, getting hit, hitting someone else, or paying for gas. The town, finished in 2006, has done well so far. Germany isn't the only country interested in lowering car usage, though.
Recently, Paris was forced to enact a partial driving ban due to smog levels getting out of control. For a while, they were on the same level with Beijing, which is infamous for its horrible pollution. Car emissions have been, as Elisabeth Rosenthal put it in her article, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", "choking cities". Paris' solution to the issue was forbidding cars with even-numbered lisence plates to be driven one day, and then odd-numbered ones the next. Many people were unhappy with this, but the smog quickly cleared up to acceptable levels.
Meanwhile in Colombia, Bogota has a ban on cars as well, though it only lasts for one day a year. Contrasting with the reactions of the French, the citizens of the capitol willingly participate and use other means of transportation. Because of this, the usual traffic jams and wrecks are drastically minimized. This day without cars promotes public transport and lowering smog levels in big cities. Carlos Arturo Plaza, a businessman, vocalized his opinion of the event, saying that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." The car-free day has led to plenty of changes in the city, such as safer, better sidewalks, less traffic, and more condensed stores and restaurants that are closer together.
While it's definitely more common to see someone driving a car than biking to work, steps have been made towards a cleaner future that doesn't involve nearly so many cars. More Americans are limiting their car usage when they can every year. With cell phones and the Internet, it's now much easier to make car pooling arrangements, as well as interacting through the internet without having to leave and drive somewhere. The younger generation is becoming less concerned with getting a license, and is taking up organizing their lives around not having a car. With the recession, cars are becoming harder to afford and maintain. If people can get around those costs, they will. By limiting car usage, pollution levels are dropping, as well as the casualties that come with reckless driving.

[/INST] How important is a persons car to them? Do they really need to have their own car? It would be more ecofriendly if they just car pooled, or even walked. It seems this question has occurred to a lot of people in high places. These people then used their positions to ban cars in many busy cities, with marvelous results.
Some where in Germany, there's a social experiment going on. This experiment is taking place in a small suburban town called Vauban. The people in this community have taken a huge leap of faith and got rid of all cars. But don't worry, they couldn't be happier. Their streets are nearly empty with virtually no traffic, they have less stress, and they don't have to worry about all the expenses that come with car ownership. The streets are very close together with stores on pratically every corner, to prevent having to go long distances. All they have to do is take a nice stroll down main street and have everything at their fingertips. They don't have to worry about people parking on their front lawns, or people flying dangerously fast down the street. It's just simple and easy.
Granted, having a car available does have benefits. Owning a car can give people a sense of freedom. It's like a reassurance that no matter what, people have the means to get something done. Without having to depend on others. If there's an emergency, people don't want to have to wait for the next bus to come through. They want to get there as quickly as possible. Owning a car makes that possible. Owning a car can also make visiting that aunt that lives three states away possible. Without having to ride a cramped, smelly bus to get there.
On the other hand, going without a car certainly has more pros than cons. There's less stress, it's cheaper, there's less traffic, it's healthier, and there's less pollution. For instance, in Paris, there was so much smog, they had to ban cars. If people violated the ban they had to pay a fine, or even get their car impounded. They blamed diesel fuel for the smog, because in France, that's nearly 67 percent of cars fuel. The cities smog rivaled Bejings', and that's the most polluted city in the world! Going without a car is also less stressful. People don't have to worry about how they'll make the next car payment, or how they might run out of gas. There's also virtually no chance of getting in an accident. Afterall, how is someone going to get in an accident without a car?
Not only is going without a car the better economical choice, its the best personal choice. Why would someone deliberately put themsleves through the stress of owning a car, when they can easily go without? Though it has some benefits, like being independent, those benefits are greatly outnumbered by the pros of going without. It's just cheaper and less stressful.

[/INST] Some cars are to loud and causes alot of polution in the world today. The most problem is the polution thats coming out of the cars. Limiting the usage of your car can become a big help in the community today, not only that it can help our atmosphere and the air that breathe from sun up to sun down. For years people have been using the cars that run on fuel that polutes our air. some countries do not like speacialy Paris. Lets find out more why Paris dont like fuel using cars.
Paris enforced laws that ban car usage to clear the air of the global city. Motorists that has driving licences were ordered to leave their vehicles home. If they did not follow that law they would have to pay a $31(22-euro) fine. Some people had their car impounded due to their reaction for paying the fine. THAts when they came up with an idea by making cars that run on electicty or solar to cut down fuel usage. For this reason, car traffic was down atleast 60% in the capital of France. Thats one reason why you should limit your car uasage.
Bogota, Colombia made up an event, they called it car-free day. Thats when everybody leave their cars home. Thats the day when you would had hiked,biked, skated or even took the bus to work or where ever you were going. The reason for them making that up was to promote alternative transportation and to reduce smog. If you didnt follow this event you would have to face a $25 fine. Even though on somedays it would rain, it hasnt stop people from participating. This was a way to cut down stress on people and to reduce ait polution. THis event has spreaded through cities. This is an another advantage for limiting car usage.
Basically these are somethings that you can do to help the communtiy. Some people may not like the idea, but it doesnt help to atleast try.

[/INST] As an American citizen, I am aware that cars are a big form of transportation. For me that is my way of getting everywhere. But I never really thought about the consequences of driving a car or even that there may be advantages to not driving one. Other countries have realized that their are advantages and are working on promoting citizens to use other types of transportation. Through out the world many countries are pushing for "carfree" areas and eventually "carfree" countries. Many of these countries are trying different strategies to accomplish this goal. Some examples would be Paris, where they only permit certain cars to drive each day depending on their license plate number, as found in source 2, parts of Germany are creating "carfree" communities and if you want to have a car you must pay 40,000 dollars in order to park in a parking garage in the front of the community, according to source 1, even Cities in Colombia promote what they call a Day Without Cars, as said in source 3. Even though here in the United States we haven't enforced any laws against driving, some citizens are choosing to not to drive. These countries are creating these new lifestyles in order to prevent air pollution, take away the stress of driving on the roads, and to bring the communities closer together.
As many people may already know, cars release greenhouse gasses that are harmful to our environment. As said in source 1, "Passenger cars are responsible for up to 12 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions into the environment." Parts of Germany are working to solve this issue by creating "carfree" communities. Some of these communities house up to 5500 residents. This change is getting a positive reaction, with more people moving into these communities than predicted. This is a movement called "smart planning" which is a trend that is growing and spreading into many parts of Europe, some parts of the United States and elsewhere.
Paris however is trying a different strategy that doesnt require people moving into completely new areas. They are now enforcing laws permitting certain cars to drive on their designated days. For example, on Mondays drivers who's cars have evennumbered license plates must leave their cars at home and find a different form of transportation for that day or else they will be fined 22euros31. So far 4,000 drivers have been fined. Paris's goal is also to cut down the emission of harmful gasses into the environment but mainly trying to reduce smog. Since deisel fuel is a large contributor and the majority of the vehicles in Paris run on diesel fuel they are cutting down the number days you are allowed to drive.
Colombia is also using Paris' strategy, but their "carfree" days are limited to once every year. Colombia has been using this stategy for 3 years and each year getting a better turnout of people participating. Violators who choose to drive on this day known as the Day Without Cars day, are fined 25. Their goal is to promote alternative transportation, interaction between citizens, limit individuals stress levels, and reduce smog. Heidrun Walter, a citizen in Colombia quoted, "When I drive my car I'm always tense. I'm much happier when I'm not behind the wheel." Haidrun is just one of many citizens who have expressed their interest in this new method.
After looking at the consequences of driving a car, and seeing the multiple advantages of not having one has changed my perspective on things. I know the feeling of being stressed when driving and I've always thought, if I could I would choose a different form of transportation. After seeing other countries promoting their citizens to choose alternative forms of transportation, I now hope the United States will enforce something similar. Not only do you help the environment but it is safer for yourself and everyone around you. Living a lifestyle with no air pollution, stress, or traffic jams will be safer and more efficient. Hopefully every other citizens perspective on this will change, if it hasn't already. I'm lookinf forward to seeing you walking next to me on the sidewalk.

[/INST] Bustling traffic fills every available lane on the highway on your drive home from work. It's rush hour again, and it's more of a slow, steady crawl rather than a drive. You can't roll the windows down to relax and get a breath of fresh air, because the air simply isn't appealing It's all emissions from the other cars, and the smell of burning gasoline is simply nauseating. It's moments like this when you recall the stories in the news about cities all over the world limiting car usage, and wondering how useful or effective it really is. Banning the use of cars has advantages such as helping to reduce pollution, reducing stress, and conserving resources.
Pollution is a prominent problem in every society today, and often times you witness "Go Green" campaigns on the television, with celebrities trying to persuade you, and call you to action on trying to save the Earth. A great way to actually help reduce pollution, is through a "No Driving" campaign. In the document written by Robert Duffer, he discusses how Paris partially bans driving in order to "clear the air of the global city." A system was put in place that allowed drivers who only had odd numbered license plates to drive on Monday, and only even numbered plates the following day. This helped to reduce congestion on the streets, and reduce the smog polluting the air to a safer amount. Before this was put in place, it was said that "The smog rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." In "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the author also discusses how "If the pattern persistsand many sociologists believe it willit will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment..." This is expressing how a lower percentage of car usage compares statistically to a lower percentage of carbon emissions in the air, which stresses a healthier environment. Maybe now we can roll down some windows while on the highway.
Stress is a major factor in everyone's life It makes things difficult, wavers a person's focus, and isn't beneficial to your health in the slightest. These "No Driving" campaigns are actually helping to reduce the amount of stress in people, by giving them a chance to do some stress relieving activities, such as bike riding or rollerblading. In the first source, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" which is also by Elisabeth Rosenthal, a mother of two and media trainer named Heidrun Walter stated "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Walter was able to stroll on sidewalks and smell the fresh air, all while listen to the sounds of nature and children playing, free of the sound of cars. In Andrew Selsky's article, "Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," Selsky informs the reader that Bogota makes renovations in the district on parks and sidewalks, so that during the time of "No Cars," people have enjoyable options as to how to get around the city. With such dedication to a project, it would be surprising to not be satisfied with those results.
Nonrenewable resources are what power our daily lives, from gasoline to coal, once it's gone, it's gone for good. With these campaigns to ban driving, we are helping to hold on to what we have, and in a way, realizing what we have before it becomes something we had. In the second article, Paris banned driving to reduce smog, which they blamed on the use of diesel fuel rather than gasoline. The use of diesel fuel may be helping to conserve gasoline, but it's used in Paris because of a tax on gasoline, and is simply a prefferable price. By not driving at all, the citizen reduced smog, and conserved their resources for another day. In Rosenthal's second article, she discusses how Bill Ford put forward a proposal on partnership, hoping 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 emissions and improve safety." With the conservation of nonrenewable resources, we are helping to ensure a future for those who success our generations.
There are so many advantages to driving, like being able to travel long distances faster, and being able to carry things with you wherever you go, but they are advantages of circumstance, and ultimately the use of cars is a price we pay with our health. The advantages of using other forms of transportation outnumber the advantages of car usage, both in the health of the people, and the health of the planet.

[/INST] Sure driving your car is the fastest and most convenient way to reach your desired destination. But is it the most friendly to the environment? The answer is no. Decreasing the amount of vehicles permitted on publis streets would greatly help reduce this issue. Driving an automobile is very harmful for Earth. Many countries have been trying to decrease the amount of vehicles on the streets.
In Vauban, Germany, the residents have almost completely given up driving. Home garages, street parking, and driveways are forbidden here. The roads are completely car free except for public transportation. Car ownership is allowed, with the consequence of paying $40,000 for a spot to park, along with a house. Vauban's ideas are being adopted around the world.
Over in Paris, partial driving bans have been enforced to help prevent the build up of smog. Every Monday drivers with even-numbered license plates are not permitted to drive. The same rules applied to people who drove vehicles with odd-numbered license plates on Tuesday. If they failed to follow their orders they will be fined with with a 22-euro, or $31, fine. About 4,000 motorists were fined and a recorded 27 had their vehicles impounded because of their ractions to the fines. Because of the warm days and cold nights, car emissions were trapped under the warmer layer of air. Enough smog cleared on Monday so they dropped the Ban for Tuesday.
Bogota, Columbia had a program which involved millions of Columbians skating, hiking, biking, etc. This was during a "car-free day" where only public transportaion was allowed. Their goal is to reduce smog and promote alternative transportation. Any violators were fined $25. Other Columbian cities such as Cali and Valledupar eventually joined the event. Since then, 118 miles of bicycle paths have been constructed.
There are many ways to reduce the amount of gases released into the atmosphere. Limiting the amount of automobiles permitted on the streets is one of the biggest ways to solve this issue. If everyone would join in on these events we could restore what we have taken away from the environment.

[/INST] Driving a car around can be very a affective aspect in people's lives; it can also be a very stressful and dangerous life-risking task to do each and every day. All across America, citizens are constantly driving their cars. A car can be used to go to work, to the grocery store, or to drop a loved one off to school and even other places. It is to the point were a simple car has become an important necessity to manage everyday life. It is also to a point at which every year cars are responsible for thousands of deaths and accidents. If people around the world limited their car usuage everyday it could significantly better our lives.
Clear the air. Pollution from cars has serverely polluted the air we breathe and our enviornment. Beijing, China is know as one of the most polluted cities in the world and has been effected my the smog. Many places around the world are trying to make a difference in their envoirnment by trying to get citizens in that area to limit their driving. According to an excerpt from "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, Paris has enforced a parital driving ban to help clean the air of the global city. As stated in the excerpt, "On Monday motorist 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." Just because of that one action congestion in the capital of France was down 60 percent and as time goes by the air will start to clear up faster.
If one had the opportunity to take away stress while lower the air pollution, would the do it? In Bogota, Colombia once a year millions of Columbians take part in a day without cars know as car-free day. As stated the the article, "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," by Andrew Selsky the goal of the car-free day is to promote alternative transportaion and reduce smog. Many citizens of Colombia take advantage of the day by hiking, biking, skating or taking buses to work, which benefits one's health and is a great source of excersize. Because of this day many parks and sports centers have opened, sidewalks have been replaced, and rush-hour restrictions have created a better flow in traffic.
Putting away something you constantly use everyday can be a difficult thing to do but it is worth it in the end. Minimizing the use of cars can greatly reduce the amount of polluion of the air. If we all comply with is task year by year our air will get cleaner and the enviornment will be better.

[/INST] You're running late for work, but you still have to drop the kids off at work. Or maybe you overslept and have to get to school soon. You get everything ready for the day, jump into your car, and you drive off. Cars are very important in todays society, but limiting your car usage can have its advantages. Reducing the amount of times you use your car could help the environment, the economy, and the developement of the city you are living in.
Pollution is a topic that is heard of everywhere, yet we don't take action to prevent it. Limiting your car usage could help contribute to helping the world get rid of pollution in the air. Paris typically has mor smog than other European capitals due to their usage of diesel fuel. Diesels make up about 67 percent of vehicles in France. Paris has tried to stop people from using their cars so much and is fining them if they are. Eventually, due to so much smog and diesel usage, people will have to stop using their cars so much if they want to be abe to see where they're going when driving.
The economy will benifit from the limited usage of cars. Think about it, if we use our cars less, we don't run out of gas as fast as we usually would. If we don't run out of gas, we don't spend as much money trying to fill the tank. If we don't buy as much gas, the price of gas will decrease due to the amount the pipelines are able to store and generate at the same time. If we limit our usage of vehicles, insurance costs will decrease because people are not driving as often and there aren't as many accidents happening.
The developement of the city you live in will change in a good way for you if you limmit the usage of your vehicles. It used to be that people in thr old days wanted to move out as far as possible from their neighbors for "space". The areas and cities just kept on expanding an dit would take longer to get somewhere in town. People wanted to live in suburbans and have a job in the city. This increased the usage of cars and other vehicles. Now, people are starting to move back into the city, amking it denser. Once you live in the city, you wouldn't have to use your car to go grocery shopping beacsue there is a publix or walmart right across the street from you. People in these dense cities will start to walk or ride their bikes to work.
Parents wouldn't have to worry about being late and still having to drop of their kids. While the parent is able to drive twice to-and-from work, the kids could go to-and-from school by walkin or riding their bikes. This cuts off the usage off the car. Instead of dropping of the kids and then going to work and then going to pick the kids up and then head home, know you won't have to do that.
Limiting the amount of time you use your car for can help the world and yourself. You save money, time, and the planet all at once by using your vehicles less. On the outskirts of Freiburg, Germany, residents in a community are forbidden of street parking, driveways, and home garages. Car ownership is allowed, but you would have to park in a large garage at the edge of the developement. Along with this, you eould pay $40,000, with a home, to be a car owner. These methods are being used more and more to stop the great and unreasonable usage of cars.

[/INST] Many places in the world, seem to be faceing similar problems; Traffic, pollution, and stress.
Some advantages to limiting the usage of cars; is to reduce stress, help the enviorment, and less traffic jams. In "Car-Free Cities" Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, stated "when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Also in this new approach people are more accessible to public transportation. The United State's Enviromental Protection Agency has started promoting "car reduced" communities. This is a great benefit to the people and the enviorment.
Congestion in the streets of France seem to be a mayor problem. Also "smog" has occured in the air because of various motor vehicles. In Source Two: "Paris bans driving due to smog" after ordering people with even-numbered license plates to leave their cars at home the congestion of smog and traffic went down by 60 percent. Since cars with certain license plates weren't allowed on the street certain days people were given free public transportation,"public transit was free of charge from Friday to Moday". which has also reduced pollution.
In source three: "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" also demonstartes the positiveaspects of limited car usage. Even buissness man Carlos Arturo Plaza is talking about it, "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Colombia's way to reduce pollution and the smog in the air is by promoting alternative transportation. If people decide to go against the day of no cars in the street, they will be faced with $25 fines. It was such a positive outcome that two more cities other than Bogota decided to join, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event. But throughout time Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asuncion,Paraguay commented "these people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders." This campaign began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. this event has dramatically cut traffic; and new restrants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
The advantages of limiting the car usage, helps the enviorment by not causing much pollution to the air, because of the motor vehicles. Causes less stress and tension to people that have a motorized vehicles,also causes less traffic collisions and more space.

[/INST] The car is one of the most important inventions, but it's taking so much in our life style
The car is one of the most important inventions on the human history, they give us a big adventage in the second world war, and after that, they do our life more easier, because with they we can travel big distances and be fast in other places like work or malls etc, but in the actuality is so nessesary.
In the "world of today" the cars are an obligation to everyone, because the people can't go walking to every site because today all the paces are so far from our houses, the people who lives in the suburbs just can't go to anywhere walkin they need a car or take the public transport, so they need other way to go anywhere without a car, like in the city of Vauban Germany, the people in Vauban goe's to the soccer games to the mall leave theyr childs in the school and everithing whitout a car!, the people in Vauban don't have a car because it's so expensive have one, in Vauabn if you want a house with a parking site you need to pay $40.000 dollars!, that's so much money and as a result of this the 70% of the Vauban's families don't have car, and a 57% of this families sold his car.
As a result of the experiment in Vauban's, the suburb's goes more small and more closely to everything doing the people more happy with this new life style, maybe we can lear something with this people.

[/INST] Ever since World War II our development has been centered on the car, now people are questioning if whether or not we have gone in the correct direction. With many people coming to a realization that private transportation may not be the best option for travel, it is hard to deny. There are already developed places in the world experimenting with the abscence of cars in their society.
Vauban, Germany is one of those places. Vauban residents have undertaken the task of turning their streets completely car-free, and it's working. The residents of the district even claim to enjoy a community without automobiles more, people claim to be less tense and happier without owning a car. 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, those who do live in areas dedicated to large garages at the edge of the development that car owners but for $40,000, along with a home. While efforts in the past to making cities denser have given people a better reason to walk, it hasn't gone away at all, people are still driving everywhere they go. In the United States car reduced communities are being promoted by the Enviornmental Protecetion Agency, and legislators are starting to act on this. Public transport serving suburbs will play a much larger role in a new federal transportation bill being approved this year.
Vauban is not the only place with that has experimenting with banning private transportation, Paris has banned driving due to smog after days of near-record pollution to clear the air of the city. The smog rivaled Beijing, China, one of the most poluted cities in the world. People blamed diesel fuel because of a French tax policy favors diesel over gasoline, diesel makes up 67 percent of cehicles in France. Paris has more smog than other European capitals, many companies complained of lost revenue, but exceptions were made to allown plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. Public transit was also free of charge Friday to Monday. The smog cleared enough Monday for the ban on odd-numbered plates to be lifted.
Bogota, Columbia is also doing their part in attempting to reduce the amount of automobiles used in society, car-free day has been in effect for three years in Bogota. With a large turnout, the streets were free of traffic jams as millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated, and took buses to work. People comment how it is a great opportunity to redice stress and air polution in Columbia. Municipal authorities from other countries travel to Bogota to see the event, and they believe it to be a revolutionary change. Since the day without cats was implemented into an improvement camapign that began in the mid-1990's, 118 miles of bicycle path has been constructed in Columbia.
In the United States, we are being affected by these other countries choices to give up air pollution for a less stressful and tense life. Recent studies suggest a decrease in the amount of cars being bought by Americans, as well as the amount of people getting lisceces. Not buying cars are helping Americans with their finances and improving their health. Sociologists believe that if this pattern persists it will benefit the American public and enviornment greatly.

[/INST] For most people it is more common to get from place to place by hopping in a car. But, what if we never used cars, or at least limited them? Lives would be inpacted in a very positive way. In
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars , by Elisabeth Rosenthal,
Paris bans driving due to smog , by Robert Duffer,
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogata , by Andrew Selsky, and
The End of Car Culture , by Elisabeth Rosenthal the authors show how cars are not a neccesity to life and how our communities can even be better off without them. Because of the positive impact on our enviroment and the increase of a community, limiting car usage is a serious idea worty of a second look.
Cars, especially in America, are a major source of transportation. Without them many people would not have an easy way to commute to where they need to be. But, convience is causing more pain than pleasure and startign to harm our enviroment. Cars just by themselves cause around fifty percent of the greenhouse gases that are emited into the atmospere. Similarly they cause twelve percent in Europe (par. 5) Logically it would make sense to find the root of a problem and change it to make the problem go away, but in the case of cars, cars are a root in the pollution problem, but many people need them to ge to get where they need to be. The easiest solution to this is to limit our car use and add more busses and easier, more acessable areas for bikes and walking. Pollution will lower and people will still get to where they need to be. Pollution is a major topic regarding the safety of our enviroment and cars have been a proven source of much of the pollution in the air. Using less cars coensides with less pollution in our surroundings. Paris, France was suffering from very high pollution in the air. To combat this, for five days certain people, based on their lisecense plate number, were not allowed to use their cars. Though not everyone complied, after the five days the smog went from the levels found in the worst city for pollution, Beijing China, down by sixty percent (par.14). In just under a week Paris went from being the most polluted it had ever been to a better, safer level. If a city just by limiting the car usage by half was able to make such a drastic difference in that time, imagine it being limited more over a wider area. There is a possibility of totally correcting the pollution problem worldwide, or at least making it better and more easily handled. Although the enviroment is important, cars are also affecting the way we interact as people in a community.
Because we have cars, we never really see the senery around us. We exit our houses, jump in our cars, drive, and walk ito our destination. There is no contact with nature or other people passing by. Limiting cars can lead to the increase of interaction and better looking cities. In Bogota, there is a day once a year called "car-free day", in which no one is allowed any use of their personal cars and fined if they do not comply. Because of this there has been an increase in new high-end resturants and places to shop. The community has also added more city parks and places for sports. There is no traffic rush hour and due to the increased walking the old broken sidewalks have been replaced with larger new ones (par.28). No one wants to not only have to walk, but have to walk on a surface that is hard to walk on and unappealing. Due to this, people started to create parks and sports centers for a nice place to be as well as a nice place to look at. And because of the increased foot traffic, there have been more people opening shops and resturants, as no one speeding by in a car will notice a small corner store, but someone strolling by, taking in the scenery will. In response to the increased foot traffic, it is important that there is somewhere to actually put your foot, and old cracked pavement won't cut it. If there are less cars, less road pavement is needed and more sidewalk pavement is. So, the old pavement is replaced with more pavement that is in better shape. All the walking and passing people causes people to be more social and to interact more often. The members of a community are more together. Mr. Sivak, a researcher, had noticed both of his children are not interested in getting a driver's licence. Everything they do is centered around walking, public transport, and carpooling. They don't find it necissary to have a car and licence (par. 39). The children of the researcher don't have or need a car because what they do doesn't require them to have one. They get a more full experience not being in a car all the time. In a carpool they get to socialize with friends and while walking they get an outdoor and community experience.
In short, cars are an easy way to get from area to area, but they are very harful to the enviroment and our community. They add pollution to the air and cut off our everyday contact. If we limited the use of cars we would lower pollution, casuse our cities to be more attractive, have better ways of transport, and be closer as people in an area. So, is a car still going to be your most common way of transport? Think of the good you would do to the world if it wasn't.

[/INST] There are many advantages of limiting car usage. Decreasing the amount of time citizens use personal motorvehicles positively impacts the environment and the state of mind of people. The lack of driving personal cars is becoming more widely accepted in several countries for different reasons. Vauban, a suburb in Germany, is an experimental district testing the lifestyle that does not use cars. Paris banned driving for environmental reasons, and Bogota decided to try it out too. Also, it is a trend in America for the purpose of saving money and because there are other convenient options.
The decrease in fumes from cars is very beneficial to the environment. People and organizations are making drastic efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipe. According to paragraph five of "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," twelve percent of greenhouse gas in Europe is caused by passenger cars and fifty percent in some areas of the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities because emissions from cars contributes to half of the pollution in America. In the Article by Robert Duffer, "Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog" he describes the event that Paris had to declare a ban on half of the drivers because the large amount of smog that lingered over Paris. Colombia even has a day dedicated to being free of cars to reduce smog and promote alternative transportation. All of these events show the severity of environmental problems caused by cars and people making efforts to promote a better environment.
Also, a decrease in personal motor vehicles causes people to have a better state of mind. Heidrun Walter states, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." With a car comes a lot of responsibility which leads to a lot of stress on a person. Not having a car is one less bill to pay and thing to take care of which for many people is a better way of living."It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," stated Carlos Arturo Plaza on carfree day in Bogota, Colombia. The car free day has also promoted other things to bloom in the city such as parks, sidewalks, and restaurants that people really enjoy. According to Elisabeth Rosenthal in her article "The End of Car Culture," her children have other priorities than recieving their license because they have other things they would rather focus on that they enjoy more. All of these things promote people living a healthier and happier life.
Overall, limiting car usage is a "winwin" situation for everyone. Decreasing fumes and the stress of a car causes the environment and people to be happier. Promoting public trasportation or other ways of getting places is better for everyone. It is a growing trend all over the world, and for a good reason. A lack of fumes from cars will clear the air, and clear the minds of fellow citizens.

[/INST] Many places around the world are limiting the usage of cars. If more places created regulations like these, it may drastically change the environment, for the better.
Vauban, a suburb in Germany, made conditions in the neighborhood almost impossible to own a car. While it may seem like an annoyance, many of the residents are happier this way. According to Heidrun Walter, a resident of Vauban, "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." While many people may see having to give up or not use their can an annoyance, if they get used to it they might find that not using their cars may be a good thing.
Instead of having to hear car engines and honking horns, they can take a relaxing walk or even a bike ride somewhere.
Limiting car usage would also be very helpful in cleaning up the environment. In "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" the author states, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in carintensive areas in the United States." Limiting the amount people can drive their cars could reduce a hefty amount of pollution in our air. In France, they limitied the amount of people who were allowed to drive for two days. Paris has more pollution in their air then most European cities, but putting regulations on who could drive significantly reduced the amount of smog in just a few days, according to Robert Duffer.
Putting regulations on car usage can also make the area you live in a much nicer place. In Colombia, a few cities have an annual "Day Without Cars", where citizens are fined for using their cars. As a result, things like restaurants and malls have been being built. They are repairing more sidewalks and building new bicycle paths. Parks are being used more often. The communities would be much nicer places with out the frequent use of cars.
Limiting the use of cars is a very good thing. It helps the environment, and it helps make the world a nicer place.

[/INST] Humans tend to think of only the present and not the future. We sometimes only focus on immediate comforts and don't think about how are decisions now will affect our kids and grandkids in the future. Yes, cars are amazing right now. They give us a kind of freedom that is unparalled. But at the same time they hurt the enviroment which hurts not just our future but our present also. Imagine not having a car. I can hear all the gasp now but really think about it. Not having to worry about spending half your paycheck on gas. Yes gas prices are down but for how long. Without cars you also won't have to worry about spending hundreds of dollars to fix it up when it breaks down. But best of all, not having a car will definetly have positive effects on your enviroment.
I have lost count on how many times my father has complained and stressed out about gas prices and the amount of money it takes to fix up his car when it breaks down. Admitedly gas prices are down. Lower than they've been in a while. But how long will that last before its back to $3.50 for a gallon of gas. And I am sure you could find something better to do with $400 than spend it fixing a transmission. Whatever that is. Not having a car releases stress. Soccer moms are the last person you would expect to give up there cars but in Vauban, Germany, a car free town that is exactly what heidrun Walter has done. She is a media trainer and a mother of two and she said "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way". If she can do it we can do it.
A lot of towns and cities are doing things like car free day. Which is where for that whole day everybody walks or uses their bikes and the only motor vehicles on the road are buses and taxis. In Paris, the smog level was so high, higher than Beinjin, China, that authorities banned the used of car on the roads for a while in an effort to reduce the smog level. People who didn't follow the ban were fined 33 dollars. In Bogota, Columbia though it was more of a choice for the people to give up their cars. "Millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated ot took buses to work during a car-free day yesteday, leaving the streets of capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." said Andrew Selsky of the Seattle times. This is a program that is being spread to other contries. The goal of this program is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Although there was gray clouds let loose rain showers now and then it did not stop the huge amount of participants. After three years two other Colombian cities joined the event. The mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay said "There people are generating a revolutionary change and this is crossing borders".

[/INST] In the United States, people are very busy. With school, work, and extracurricular activities in the mix of "everything else," Americans rely on an efficient and preferably fast mode of transportation, and typically, their first resort is car. However, while cars are extremely convenient, they are also very dangerous to the environment. Car usage should be limited because there are many advantages, including less smog, less traffic, healthier people, and reduced air pollution.
To start off, when car usage is limited, smog and air pollution are drastically limited too. According to the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50 percent in the United States. This is a major problem in many different parts of the world, yet people still continue to always resort to cars, though they have many other options. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind powerplants, and the pollution that comes from it is most detrimental to the environment and ourselves. If we limit car usage, we will drastically reduce air pollution.
Furthermore, when car use is limited, it is better for humans. When people do not drive cars, they will sometimes walk, skate, or bike to where they need to be. This is exercise, so it is better for you than just sitting in a car. When people use other methods of transportation like walking, biking, or skating, they do not have to worry about being stuck in traffic for hours. Limiting car usage also saves money. When you do not drive as much, you do not have to pay as much for gas, or paying for parking. These are huge advantages.
In conclusion, there are many different benefits and reasons that we should limit car usage. We can walk, bike, skate, or even take a bus or carpool with other people. It will reduce air pollution, make people healthier, save money, and people can feel good knowing they are doing something good for the environment and themselves.

As you may know that you have to own a car to get around in some cases you may think to your-self that you dont have the money to get a car or the job to keep a roof over your head. Well in French and Swiss borders, Friburg runs a few streets on the adge of the community. More or less Friburg has you paying for a $40,000 car-ownership with space along with a home.
70 percent dont own a car, everyone should have a car and park where ever they want to its not right for them to have to have a $40,000 car-onwer-ship with a house just to have space. Vaubran homes are $5,500 within a rectangular square mile, 80 percent of laws have been gone to highways and the 20 percent have went to another transports.
Paris has band driving due to smog they know the amound of license plats that were order to leave their cars at home or fined a $32 fine. It shouldn't matter if ther were to leave their cars at home or park it somewhere they are grown people and if something was to happen to them or the car then thats on them. It's not right to have all of these rules because, if someone was to vist a loved one and they didnt know or understand what was going on or they had gottan a fine then their going to get mad.
Diesel fule makes up at least 67 percent of vehicles in France, 53.3 percent of diesle engines in Western Europe. in the mid-1990s cars without improvement campaign in Bogota.

[/INST] Congestion, the amount of car traffic in a specific area, is significantly decreasing due to a new idea that has sprung:limiting car usage. Places such as Vauban, Paris, Bogota, Cali and Valledupar are participating in a program that's made to decrease car usage. Some of these cities enjoy Day Without Cars, a holiday that "promotes alternative transportation and reduces smog". Selsky 1 Businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza says that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Limiting car usage promotes a healthier, cleaner environment for all. By using alternative transportation, such as buses, taxis, biking or even walking, the amount of greenhouse emission is drastically reduced. Rosenthal 1 The Environmental Protection Agency in the United States are encouraging "car reduced" communities, causing legislators to act. This will cut the amount of money spent yearly by U.S. citizens and the government as a whole, reducing the federal transportation bill. Rosenthal 1 Paris, too, momentarily banned driving due to smog. Paris enforced a driving ban that lasted a few days to clear the city's air after a close call to record pollution. Although some people were upset, congestion was down 60 percent, and the smog cleared a few days later. Duffer 1 All in all, diesel usage decreased, leaving a "greener" environment in its place.
President Obama has also wanted "to curb the United states greenhouse gas emissions," Rosenthal 1, he revealed last week. Although the United states rate of car ownership per person and per household has started to decrease, there are still more things that could be done to create a longterm cultural shift. Rosenthal 1 New York has recently created a bikesharing program that has done remarkably well. Many cities have proposed plans to make personal vehicle ownership impractical or undesirable. Rosenthal 1 Even Bill Ford, the owner of the Ford Car Company, suggested an idea to creat cities in which "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," at the Mobile World Congress last year. Rosenthal 1 Bogota, Colombia specifically enjoys a yearly carfree day in which the only exception of vehicle transportation are buses and taxis. This prevents traffic jams, reduces air pollution, and cuts the many costs to cars. Even in rain, the event continued on "The rain hasn't stopped people from participating," said Antanas Mockus, the Bogota Mayor. Selsky 1 Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asucnion, Paraguay, said that "these people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders." Smog reduction, costcutting, stressrelieving and trafficjamfree, participating in this global change is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

[/INST] Cars are a very nice thing to have, they are fast and they take you places that you want to go to. Cars come in a variety of colors and shapes. The thing about cars that you probably didn't know is that they pollute. Polluting is a very bad thing, everyday we're breathing in chemicals from cars that pollute. Doesn't sound very good now, does it? Cars are extreamly expensive too!
Cars cost thousands of dollars. Now, lets think for a minute, what if you didn't have a car? You wouldn't be able to get to places fast enough, you won't be on time to where you are trying to go. Well, you see, there are things called bikes and buses. It might not be as fast but, you'll still get there. Their are a lot of advantages of not having a car. You don't have to pay for insurance, You don't have to worry about accidents, You also don't have to worry about polluting the environment. In Vauban, Germany many people do not own cars. Atleast 70% of them do not own cars. Did you know that about 57% of the people in Vauban, Germany sold there cars so they could move to Germany?
In Paris, people enforced a partial driving ban to clear out some of the pollution. If you drove in your car you would have to pay a $31.00 dollar fee. That day, about 4 thousand drivers were fined. Wow! that is a lot of people to be fined for driving. Is it easy for you to imagine a car-free zone, where nobody is driving, and the roads are free of cars? Believe it or not, a lot of people like the idea of a car-free zone. In Columbia, people had banned cars for 3 straight years! Now, that is a long time to not be able to use a car. There was still transportation of course such as, biking, roller skating, walking, and even buses. I mean, you can't walk every where, right?
Even when it rained the people still didn't use cars, and it rained a lot. Not having a car takes away the pollution of the air and stress because, I can imagine having a car would be stressfull due to money you have to pay for gas and insurance. Their was about 118 miles of biking paths that people could take to get around. Stores were moved to be closer to people so they wouldn't have to travel so far. As each year goes by, americans are driving less, buying fewer cars and getting fewer licenses. I guess it's suggested that we don't use cars as much due to air pollution but i dont thing that is going to stop everyone in the world from driving their cars. I think we should cut down on driving every where and maybe car pool instead or take a bus, that way not everyone is driving and there will be less pollution. People will of course still drive cars and cars will pollute the air but, it is not going to stop us from driving.

[/INST] From small town suburbs to largely populated cities, car usage can drastically affect a community. In developed worlds, personal automobiles are an increasingly popular trend, and help people go about their day to day business. Many would rather drive down the street to a grocery store of job instead of walking there even though it is common knowledge that the pollution and other harmful emissions cars create is bad for the environment and the people living there. The question remains, what are the advantages of limiting car usage?
Many believe that automobiles, especially the very popular "car", can be very bad for the environment. According to the article, "Paris bans driving due to smog", it explains how nearrecord pollution within Paris caused a partial driving ban. This was to help clean the smog infested air in the dense city. Although many delivery companies complained about lost revenue, congestion within the capital lowered by 60 percent. By Monday that week, "the smog cleared enough for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for oddnumbered plates on tuesday". In another article called "Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", this one tells how Bogota, Columbia has also banned cars to promote alternate transportation and reduce smog. The ban is only for one day a year called The Day Without Cars, but it's helped cause the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, new, smooth sidewalks, less traffic, and new restaurants and shopping areas. Business man, Carlos Plaza claims "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Both of these articles explain how limiting car usage in a city can be beneficial to both the city and its residents.
In addition, the United States in partaking in this quest for less cars as well. Article "The End of Car Culture" by Elizabeth Rosenthal shows us that "recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." It is possible that this is partially because of the recession many Americans could not afford cars. Also, more center cities have made the "suburbs less appealing and has drawn the empty nesters back in". If this goes on, scientists believe carbon emissions could greatly reduce and this will be extremely beneficial for the environment. According to the Mr. Sivak's research, less and less people between the age of 1639 have been getting licenses. More studies have concluded the same results, but only time will tell in this trend will continue. No matter the reason behind it, this example also demonstrates how limited car usage is beneficial.
On the other hand, some believe that less cars is NOT beneficial. In source four, it claims that the lowered amount of people driving automobiles will be harmful to the profits of the car industry. To further explain, "companies like Ford and Mercedes are already rebranding themselves 'mobility' companies with a broader product range beyond the personal vehicle". This, without a doubt, is to combat the loss of sales and encourage people to continue buying their products. However, thos is pretty much all there is on the negative side of limited car usage. For the rest of the community, this doesn't affect them and is in fact quite beneficial.
Cars, both the rose and the thorns in a community and environment, can be both beneficial and harmful to people, depending on who you are. For most regular pedeastrians and citizens within a city, less cars means less pollution, traffic, and stress. Unless you are a business owner of a car dealership or working for a delivery company, limited car usage means very postive things for social relationships, health, the environment, and general living conditions of a busy city. The less harmful emissions of gases from cars could greatly affect the outcome of our clean, energy efficient future.

[/INST] Limiting car use to many people wouldn't sound like the greatest idea but however it can be very affective. In the article " In German Suburb, Life goes on without cars" it states that 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, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor. Driving cars can cause many problems on the road or on the drivers life.
Not driving a vehicle can have many advantages, such as the driver having a less chance of getting injured on the road because of an accident. You never know if you are going to be safe while behind the wheel. You are always at risk while operating a vehicle. Also you can save money by not driving, you wouldnt have to spend money on a car and also not pay for gas and maitenence of the vehicle. In Paris they had to enforce a partial driving ban so that they could clear the air of the global city. This shows that so much carbon dioxide is let out into the atmosphere. Motorized vehicles destroy our air, all pollution of smoke and buring fuels dirtys the air.
In bogota, Columbia , an event took place to help cleanse the air in columbia. Two Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event for the first time. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said a buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife. A study found that the driving of young age people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Younger people may be getting more atheltic and excersising by running or riding a bike.
In conclusion, limiting car usage could be a good thing and help our world. People can save more money, less lives would be at risk and there would be less pollution. I personally think riding a bike to places is fine. People can begin to be getting more fit and healthier by walking, running or riding a bicycle to there destinations. But if where they want to go is to far they can always take a taxi.

[/INST] Cars are a big influence in our worlds society, everyone wants to be able to drive and many people do drive. But as good as driving seems there are also many negative things that occur when driving a car. But the affects of limited driving can potentially have a positive impact on our lives and our enviorment.
In our world a large number of people drive cars to get to work, school and many other places. Due to people driving, there have been serveral negative effects to our planet. Due to people driving from place to place there are very high polution levels in our atmosphere, from the exhuast that the car lives off. For example, in Europe cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions and in the United States it is fifty percent of green house gas emissions. This can potentially damage our enviorment and hurt our planet. But not all of this has to be negative. Many countries have been setting up days or even banding cars in general to decrease levels or pollution and promot limited car use is a positive thing. This is an attempt to help clean up our enviorment. On the positive side if we were to stop using passenger cars for transporation our enviorment would be alot cleaner more suitable to live in. If we stop driving and even owning cars it could potentially have an impact on our personal lifes and make us more relaxed and feel happier. For example a women by the name of Heidrun Walter said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way". Many countries are currently making a serious effort to stop the use of cars in all. Some countries have completely wiped out the usage of cars and have gone to riding bikes, walking, and even taking the bus. These efforts can only have a positive effect on our enviorment. If every country tries to enforce the fact that cars are damaging our enviorment then potentially the pollution levels and the smog levels will begin to decrease and maybe even depleat.
Passenger cars in the world is a bigger issue then everyone thinks. But if everyone pitches in to the idea that no cars equals a better society then I believe that Passenger cars will soon be gone for good. Passanger cars in the world are coming to an end and our enviorment is going to be healthier than ever.

[/INST] Driving; Everyones dreams when there're just hitting those teenage years. The day their parents hand them a key to their brand new car. We shouldn't live off our cars, we should be able to go aywhere we want and not worried to see if you don't have gas in your car, or if your license plate is expiered. My fellow citizens there is many advantages of limitig car usuage. Not being tense, not worried about the resposibilites on your car, and helps us to stop polluting the air.
To start, there are many places that don't have cars and their life keeps on going they are even stressfree. For examle Vauban's streets are completely "car free." Heidrum Walter says "when I had a car I was always tese. I'm much happier this way." (Source 1). Living without a car is not that bad. Living without a car can be much better for us. However the fact that living without car can be an advantage to us not everyone agress to the fact of it. After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforeced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global cirty. Cogestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five days of intesifying smog. Paris trypically has more smog than oter European capital. Delivery companies complained of lost reveue, while exceptios were made for plug in cars, hybrids, and cars carryig three or more passsengers. (Source 2). If the delivery companies and my fellow citizens can realize is that the cars that we so called center our development on is polluting our air causing smog in certain areas of the world, and you can see because Paris banned certain cars in its area the smog ended up going away. So instead of driving our cars everywhere we can use this to our advantages and limit our car usage, so we can prevet smog in our community and pollution in atmosphere.
In addition, gooig car less is a stress free zone. Business Carlos Arturo Plaza stated "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Which is absolutly true in my view because in Bogota, Clombia a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombias hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car free day, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams. (Source 3). The car free day in Bogota and how people walked, biked, skated, and etc shows a great way to to take away stress. While you are either walking, biking, and so forth you have the chance to clear your mind and at the same time your not in a car that can pollute the air which can't result in smog. Also going car free is also becoming the new tread, a study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009, there has also been a large drop in the percetage of 16- to 39- year- olds getting a license. (source 4) I'm here today to show that this new tread that is spreadig is one that we should take to our advantage and use it, it's making things better for us and also our communities.
To sum up, my fellow citizens we should limit our car usage. We all can enter this stree free zone together as one, we can help the place we all call our home. Don't be against it and just use it to your advantage. Going car free is the right way to go.

[/INST] Usuage of cars should be limited for many reasons. Many people in different countries agree that cars should be either baned or not used as constantly. Pollution, Economy, and people's health are all a factor to limiting car usuage.
In Vauban, Germany, people have given up their cars. There is a fee to park in Vauban which is a coast of $40,000. No one is going to want to drive do to that outrageous price. 70 percent of the people living in Vauban doesnt own a car and, 57 percent sold their car once they moved there. "'When I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way' said Heidrun Walter". This quote shows that cars just bring you done emotionly and you'll feel better with out one. In Vauban, cars are causing 12 percent of greenhouse gases. The percent of greenhouse gases are four times higher in the U.S do to car's gas emissions.
In Paris, there is a smog problem going on. There is so much pollution in the air that there was a forced ban on driving. If anyone was found driving they were fined $31. 4,000 people were fined and 27 had their cars taken do to not wanting to pay the fine or being difficult. Paris had the most smog out of the European country; in Paris there was 147 micrograms of particulate matter, Brussels had 114 and, London had 79.7.
Bogota, Colombia has an annual car-free day. A day full of hiking, biking, skating and bus riding. If found driving on the car-free day you are fined with $25. "'It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,' said businessman Carlos Plaza". President Obama is getting envolved with the limiting car usuage aslo. His goal is to curb the greenhouse gas emissions. There have been less cars bought and licenses given out as the years go by. Lastly, there has been a 23 percent decrease in young peolple driving from the years 2001 to 2009.
These are some reasons why car usuage should be limited; and as you can see many countries are starting to make a difference.

Vauban, Germany they are gicing up their cars, like why would you give a object that gets you places faster than walking. Thats not smart. People that had cars have to give their car away in order to live in Germany. Vauban's streets are completely " car-free". 70 percent of Vauban's families do not have cars. Which mean the kids would have to walk everywhere they go, also the parents when you have jobs..what if you dont get to work on time?
Paris enforced a partical driving ban to clear the airr of the global ci ty. If they didnt leave their cars at home they would have been fined for $31.

President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gasemissions, unveiled last week will get a fortuitous assist from an incipient shift in American behavior.
With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting asa result of the recession may find less reasons to resume the habit

[/INST] In this life i think that there should be a limited amount of car usage. For the simple fact that gas is bad for the earth. In many way to some people this may be untrue. But I think that the limited amount of car usage would be great for the earth. My reason being is that car's make people excersize less, causes smog , bad for the enviroment.
To begin with, i think that limited amount of car usage is good for lazy people. I mean people will waste gas just to drive 3 minutes to a store when you could walk to save gas. It really makes no sense that a average person could be so lazy. You can be doing two good things at one time. By just walking for your health and saving up on gas,The text says,"Many experts expect public transport serving suburs to play a much larger role.
Next, I think it is a good idea because it wont cause so much smog which is a bad thing for the air. According to the text,"Paris has banned driving due to smog Paris enforced a partial driving bad to clear the air of the global city". The last thingwe need to do is be breathing in dirty air and pretty much gas. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined. Twenty seven people had there cars impounded for their reaction to the fine.
Also, My final reason is that it is bad for the enviroment. Luckily The text says,"President Obama's ambitious goals to curn the united states". Its about time some one point out the wrong honestly in my opnion if i was president i would ban driving to unless your like traveling to a far out state or your work is really far. I think that is should not be allowed.
So to sum it all up, I think that a limited amount of car usage would be good for the enviroment. And have a good impact on the world. Once again my reasons for it is that make's people excersize less, causes smog , bad for the enviroment. So my fellow citizens think about what you are doing to the world and how it not only effects us but how it also effects you.

[/INST] I strongly belive that if fellow citizens hold back on driving to get to point A to point B every time , just a little can help improve many things. For example on the streets their will be less traffic , which means less time for people to go where they need to go. Another thing that is benificial is if helps the enviorment. The enviorment has been getting affected by the tons of damage the veicles are giving to our o zone. especially Antartica. Also cars waste a lot of our resources which some of us use daily, with so many cars that are being driven every day is a everyday stuggle to those who work hard to get the oil from so deep in the earth . That some were talking about that is it possible that we can drain up all the oil?.
One of the large beifits that come with citzens trying to not drive their veicles so often,is the amount of times some citizen will save to get to point A to point B. their will be lest traffic on the streets . Which is a benifit to all in the community. A great amount of people like soccer moms or people in general who have to take their kids to a certain place like soccer pratice or a sochool play have give up their cars . Finding another solution to get their child to where they need to be without having to use their own car to drive them there and just find another easier transportaiton.
The big reason why people are trying to find a solution for citizen to stop having to use their veicles so often is to help our enviorment. The enviorent has gone through many changes which all were a result to something bad to occur. The ice in antartica has been melting wich means the water level has increases alot and keeps on increaseing. in the past year, scientist concluded that 2014 that the hottest year which were all a cause not only beacuse of so many veichles being driven around also other things but mostly the bad amout of polution the cars are giving the sky . which is a advantage of the enviorment to get better and so that the water level can go back to normal and not have to experience disasters that come with the bad enviorment.

[/INST] Cars are an integral part of many peoples lives around the world: they provede transportation to work and home, they cater to social lives, and for some they even provede a home.
However, it's becoming a trend to limit car usage, particularly in Europe. Residents in Vauban, Germany have given up cars almost completely, with the exception of a 40,000 parking garage fee that over half of the residents have elected not to use.
While it may make getting places harder, the effects of cutting down on car usage are mostly good ones.
First and foremost on this list is global warming. In Europe, cars produce around twelve percent of greenhouse emissions, while in the US, the number can be as high as fifty percent in cities. This is not good. Global warming is destroying the ice caps and the ozone layer of Earth, leading to a temperature increase that is damaging many environments around the world. This, in addition to pollution released by cars and the oil industry, could permanently cripple our planet. Any way that we can cut the effects of global warming should be implemented.
Secondly, crowded cities benefit in many ways from a lessening of driving. Some cities, like Paris, have already had to enact a partial ban on driving due to a heavy smog layer. Other cities, like Beijing, is even more polluted, and cities in this country suffer as well. If less people drove, the air would be clearer, as was the case in Paris.
Also, there is less crowding when less people are driving. Anyone who has driven through or lived in a large city knows just how bad congestion and traffic jams can be. Less driving would mean less congestion, making it easier for people to get to work, school, or other locations on time. When Paris enacted its driving ban of those with evennumbered licence plates, congestion went down sixty percent.
Finally, using an alternative to cars can save money.

[/INST] Car usage all over the world has reduced and been reducing slowly. Some of the advantages of limiting car usage may be the reducing of pollution or just to save money. Also due to many different reasons, even if it's for their own needs, or to just minimize the pollution going on in different parts of the world. In many places car usage has been being limited for countries all over. If it's China, Spain, Columbia, Paris, Germany, or even the United States of America. Not all countries have taken part in trying to reduce the use of cars to an all time low. That may just be their own choice. While other countries are sure trying to cut the usage of car for a variety of reasons. Some places in the world are doing it so they can cut some of the pollution done to the world. And if you think about it if half of the world tryed as hard as they possibly could to try and minimize pollution the world wouldnt be so pulloted. I know cars aren't the only things that cause pollution, but its a pretty big part of the daily life for any person no matter where they are.
In Vauban, Germany a suburban area has almost completely given up driving and even owning a car. "Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park" Rosenthal 2 but it cost a lot of money to even own a parking space. "Carowners can buy a space, for 40,000, along with a home." Rosenthal 2 That price may just be enough to keep people from owning a car all together. According to the article " In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars " by Elisabeth Rosenthal, 70 percent of vaughn's Families don't even own a car and 57 percent sold a car just to move there. Isn't that crazy? Imagine life without cars, it has advantages and disadvantages of course but advantages can lead to a positive outcome no matter what the reason is. By people in Vauban not owning cars they are most likely saving a lot of money because they don't have to buy the car, pay the ridiculous amount for a parking spot, and pay for the gas thats going to end up pollution the world anyway. Just a few of the many advantages in reducing or cutting out car usage completely.
Due to all the terrible and mass amounts of smog in Paris, France, they enforced a "partial driving ban to clear the air or global city" Duffer 10. For example, in this article called " " by Robert Duffer, on monday motorist with even numbered license plates were told to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22 euro fine which turns out to be 31 U.S. Dollars. And then the same thing would happen to those whose license plates ended in an odd number the following day. This had to have cut pollution a huge amount. If you think about how many people are living in Paris, and you think about them all staying off the road due to a ban then you may be able to understand the amount of pollution that wasn't produced during this ban. Now Paris, did this for the advantage purpose of reducing the amount of pollution they had in their air and by not adding more to it. It couldn't have a negative impact they were doing something good for the enviornment even if it didn't really help that much. Out of the whole city of Paris about "4,000 drivers were fined," and "27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine" Duffer 12. Another advantage that Paris had due to them banning car usage was that "Congestion was down 60 percent" Duffer 14. The ruling French lifted the ban when the smog cleared up enough.
Bogota, Columbia turned what they did as a tradition, into a big hit to tons of poeple in other countries. " Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota " by Andrew Selsky informed the public about what was started a few years ago back in Columbia.
For a day cars except for buses and taxis were banned. In the city of "7 million, the goal is to promote alternative transportation and also reduce smog. Violators faced 25 fines." Selsky 21 Due the day without cars, the city of Bogotas has "118 MILES of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American City." Selsky 27 One advantage they had was that because of the day with out cars the parks and sports centers have been in the best shape they could possibly be in. They also did have to reduced the amount of pollution that was being put into the air, because it was such a big hit to other cities and countries.
Yet another article by Elisabeth Rosenthal called " ", is stating the advantages in the United States and what has happened with the reducing of cars. "Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." Rosenthal 29 The minimizing of cars in The U.S. has some advantages those being, "Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions" Rosenthal 29. New York City for example is home to the heart of public transportation due to all the taxis and the subway. Not many people in New York city drive or even own a car due to the congested streets, and the ridiculous amount of money you have to have just to park it like it was in Germany. Crazy amounts of money to park a car is just an outrage. The advantage here would be the money saved by not even owning a car and storing it. Another one would be the traffic is bad but not as bad as it would be if more people had cars. Public transportation is huge in New York. It's already expensive enough to live in New York imagine if there werent as many taxis and if the subway wasn't there at all. Picture all the pollution there would be.
To wrap up everything, as stated there are many advantages to reducing car usage all around the world. If it was to reduce smog or pollution of just to save money they are still advantages to decreasing the amount of times you use a car. If something is in walking distances why not just walk instead of taking a car and wasting money and also polluting the air unless it's a hybrid. The limiting of car usage is slowly but surely growing all over the world. Yes, cars are faster to get places, but why waste the money and clean air to be somewhere quickly? Think of all the advantages there are in reducing car usage not the disadvantages.

[/INST] Limiting car usage will have many advantages. Not only will it reduce pollution ,but it will also incourage a more healthy lifestyle. Also limiting car usage may help ween us off of our dependence on foreign oil. Car usage has caused a lot of problems economically, environmentally, and physically for the United States.
To start off, car usage is very bad for our environment. The number one cause of air pollution in the U.S. is transportation. So, if we found a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly way of transportation that help a lot. One way would be to reduce car usage. It would be much better if once or twice a week people would ride their bike or walk to work or where ever they are going. I understand that some people live to far away from where ever they are going to ride a bike or walk ,but if you carpool with people who are also going to the same place you save on gas money and you will also be helping the environment.
In addition to helping the environment, limiting car usage will also promote a healthier life style. With the united state's obesity rates sky-rocketing we could use all the healthy lifestyle promoting we can get. By limiting car usage we can encourage people to walk and bike to where ever they are going. Which will influence people to add a little excersise into their daily routine.
Along with promoting a healthier lifestyle, limiting car usage can also help the U.S. withone major problem. Over the years the U.S. has had many great presidents,but almost all of them have promised the same thing, that they will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But nothing has happened. I believe that limiting car usage will help us in reducing the United states' dependence on foreign oil because if we aren't driving our cars as often we won't need as much oil.
In conclusion, the advantages to limiting car usage are that it will reduce pollution, promote a healthier lifestyle, and it will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. So next time you go to drive your car just think, is it really that far?

hat if we lived in a world with no cars? What are cars really? According to source 4 "A car is just a means from getting from point A to point B when BART doesn't work." If this is true then a cars only purpose is to polloute and cause trafic jams and accidents. If more people took the bus or walked or rode their bike to work we would see a steady decrese of greenhouse gasses. Also the less cars on the rode the fewer traffic accidents there would be.
F
irst of all, We all live on the same planet its up to us to take care of it. Source 1 states "Passenger cars are responisible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." This quote states that cars are one of the main reasons for pollotion in the world. Therefore, without cars polloting the streets the world would not only be a better to live in but a cleaner one as well.
N
ext, without cars in the streets there would be less trafic accidents. This is clear in source 3 when it shows"Clombians hiked,biked,skated or took busses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this cappital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." What this quote is showing is that cars only cause unessacary problems for everybody. Plus the less cars on the streets the fewer recless drivers there would be as a result there would be fewer car accidents.
I n conclusion, the limit on car usage can only be possitive. With fewer cars being sold the levels of greenhouse gasses would decrese. But not only that, less cars mean less accidents. Cars only cause problem in the world, whats being 10 minutes late compared to the safty of your fellow man. Source 4 states Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, propsed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cites in which "pedestrian,bicycle,private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissins and improve safty."

[/INST] German Suburb, Life
Goes On Without Cars
Now a days in VAUBAN, Germany people living in these lovely suburbs are living without automobiles. This area specifically is now known as a car free zone, all except for a main tram that runs from Vauban to downtown Freiburg. Although there arent any cars running on the streets doesnt mean ownership isnt allowed, you are allowed to own a vehicle, granted you park it in 1 of 2 spots. Either a 40,000 dollar registered parking garage, or at home in your garage. Vauban is known to have 70 percent of people without cars and 57 percent sold their cars to live in Vauban. Someone by the name of Heidrun Walter, a media trainor stated "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."
Now a days people roaming the streets are moving around Vauban in three different ways, Walking, biking or the city tram. Though these arent as fast and convienient as cars they still are transportation. Life for many people in Vauban is great because its the relief of no polution, the crashes and killings of pedestrians decreased greatly and just all in all less money wasted on gas.
Suburbs are used to great numbers of vehicles, just look at Chicago or Shanghai. A suburb is a place where many middle class families settle down and buy homes to live in. This being said cars help greatly reduce the gas fumes in greenhouses when they are banned and not being used. Just a slight percentage of 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe alone and greatly increased to 50 percent in the United States.
Vauban, home to 5,500 residents is very small due to the no car zone, what people dont know is within this city is closely compacted stores (walking distance for short travel) and other buildings. Most of the development since World War II is the basic structure of a car, focusing on a car was the biggest development of history, but a man named David Goldberg said "That will have to change."
Paris bans driving due to smog
Many days of pollution caused Paris to form a partial driving ban to help maintain air pollution. Not only that Paris ordered many motorists to leave there cars or be forced to pay a large fine of 22- euros or $31. Many did what was said and many did not, if they werent cooperating they would pay the fine and have the vehicle impounded.
Most of frances pollution came from the favored diesel, they had a tax policy that supported diesel instead of gasoline. Due to the favoring of Diesel making up 67 percent of the vehicle gas consumption.
France earned many complaints from companies world wide, delivery companies especially. They complained over lost revenue. Thats not all, because of this complaint France had to make a couple exceptions like Electric, hybrid vehicles and a Fee as free as a bird for the transit (Friday through Monday).
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota
Bogota, Columbia - On a day like no other the people of Columbia set aside there Colorful vehicles to do a more enviromental favor. They rode Bicycles, hiked, skated or even took a bus to work to free Columbia of traffic jams and pollution.
This has began to influence other countries into believing you dont need a vehicle to get around, it helped them realize a different meaning in transportation. This banned vehicles and helped reduce smog.
Though the rain comes down constantly on Bogota it hasnt stopped them from participating in this event, the people of Bogota state "it helps relieve stress and lower air polution I like it."
Cali and Valledupar, two other columbian countries also decreased vehicle use. Many authorities from seperate countries took a boat or plane to visit Bogota to see the event and were quite enthusiastic.
The End of Car Culture
Studies in America state due to Obama's goal to lower greenhouse gas emissions is so fortuitous people of america are purchasing less vehicles, driving less and getting fewer licenses.
The United States being the worlds largest population of driving is coming to an end. The United States is so large in the driving industry because of The making of the Model T, and the immortalization of "Mustang Sally."
Getting rid of the transportation which sociologists think will happen isnt going to get rid of all the gas emission due to power plants.
New Yorks bike sharing policy and a Toll on bridges has greatly decreased driving in it.
This all shows exact evidence of how the earth is trying to better themselves to get rid of pollution. Not because they are getting rid of cars, but because they are getting rid of cars and keeping people happy. Just remember, just because your forced to stop using a car doesnt mean you should give up and quit, just see it as a change in your life and a relief you are helping to make on earth.

[/INST] Limiting car usage is not bad at all! It benifts everyone in a specific way.
As stated in the article 'Car-Free Cities' Source 1: Heidrum Walter, a media trainer and mother two quotes "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much more happier this way" Heidrum being a mother two you can only imagine the car trips she would have to make. Going place to place can cause a lot of stress to some people and it makes it harder for them to drive. For example, someone could be stressed to the max with all the traffic and driving around that it could create accidents along the way. No one should ever feel stressed while driving. Driving should be a privellege and good one.
In Paris they have banned driving due to smog. Diesel fuel was balmed since France has tax ploicy that favors diesel over gasoline. 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. Paris has more smog than other European capitals. Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. Certain things like this can help save the environment without the usage of vehicles.
With no car usage it prevents teens from getting into accidents and or drunk driving. The safer way to go is to walk or stay with a friend somewhere safe than being on the road. Many accidents could be prevented but it wont if limiting the car usage is not available. Death rates will decrease and many people will be safer this way. A study last year found that drving by young people decreased by 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Without transportation many young people could make other main priorities. For example, they could organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends.
Up above I have given my reasons why we should all limit car usage. It would relieve stress from on the road, saves the environment and takes the smog away, and young people would be more socialize and up for doing more than what they already do like jobs.

[/INST] Whether we have our license or not, we can all relate to the stress of the daily commute. As of the past century, cars have been one of the most efficient ways to get from point A to point B. Now, mainly due to air pollution, there has been a noticeable decline in the amount of cars used for travel. The advantages of limiting car usage include less stress, less air pollution, and an overall improved society.
The stress of traffic and the constant pressure to be on time would be significantly reduced if people chose other means of transportation such as riding a bike, taking public transportation such as the subway or bus, or walking. Source 1 shows just how effective decreased car usage can be. It describes Vauban, Germany, a small suburb community in which there is virtually no car usage. Many citizens report being less tense, as everything is made within means of walking- distance.
Another cause of stress from car usage is the effects it has on the atmosphere. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of the greeehouse gas emissions in Europe and 50 percent in some car- intensive areas in the United States.(Source 1) Paris is an excellent example of just how much car usage has had such negative effects on the atmosphere. Source 2 explains how Paris was so smog ridden it rivaled Bejing, China. Paris then placed limits on car usage until the smog cleared enough for the ban to be lifted.
Not only does decreased car usage help the planet, it helps society as a whole. Source 3 describes Bogota, Columbia and how it celebrates one day a year of no car usage. The city has found that not only has this policy helped claear the smog, but it is enthusiastically endorsed by the citizens. Most peole turned out to see the bike races, despite the occasional rain showers. This has caused two other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar to join the event. Bogota has seen the construction of 118 bike paths, the most of any Latin American city. It is not just the government endorsing decreased car usage but people themselves. Source 4 points out how the number of miles driven per person was 9 percent below the peak. There are various explanation for why people are driving less, one might be that the internet makes increased telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without having to drive to them.
It is evident that we are witnessing a major cultural shift, possible degressing, but in the best possible way. The decreased incline to drive has resulted in less air pollution, a less stressed population, and an improved society overall.

[/INST] A world without cars is a world we should all want to live in.Participating in this worldwide fad has been known to benefit the lives of those among us. Thus, causing a decrease in the amount of stress one inhabits, as well as a decrease in pollution, and beneficial effects on carbon emissions. The advantages of limiting car usage are increasing daily, and cutting your time spent driving may have a positive effect on not only your life but your families, and those surrounded by you.
Traveling across the world to Germany, you will find Vauban. A wellknown, upscale community where more and more soccer moms and commuting executives are giving up their cars. This experimental, new district has generally forbidden street parking, driveways, and home garages. Therefore seventy percent of the residents in this community do not have cars, and fiftyseven percent sold a car to move to this ecofriendly habitat. One resident, Heidrun Walter says, "When I had a car, I was always tense, I'm much happier now." The atmosphere of this residence has a positive effect on stress, meaning it decreases it! The vibe of walking down a street filled with the swish of bicycles passing by, and the chatter of wandering children has lowered the stress of nearly all residents. This ecofriendly, and stressfree environment is a trend that is growing and being adopted by many countries, including the U.S. From Chicago to Shanghai, this residential area may be the place for you.
Paris, France, home to the famous Eiffel Tower even has its pollution problems. After days of uncontrollable smog, the ruling French party enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of thiis wellknown city. They ruled that on Monday's evennumbered license plates were ordered to leave their vehicles at home, and on Tuesdays, oddnumbered license plates were to do so as well. After this first trial, the congestion was down sixty percent in the capital of France. This was a huge success since Paris typically has more pollution that other European capitals. Temporary laws like this have a huge effect on reducing the amount of pollution in crowded cities. Even the city of love has unclean air, how romantic is that? Limiting the usage of cars benefited this society immensely, and it could benefit our world as a whole if all of us chose to cut back our car usage at least twice a week.
Automobiles are the Beyonce of suburbs, where families from California all the way to Sydney tend to make their homes. Experts have concluded that this is a huge impediment to current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes all around the world. Passenger cars in Europe are only responsible for twelve percent of these emissions, while America is responsible for up to fifty percent. President Obama's goals to drastically curb these greenhouse gas emissions will be assisted by a shift in American behavior: Fewer Americans getting their license. Studies have shown less and less of Americas youth are prioritizing getting their license. If this pattern persists, it will have a beneficial effect on the reduction of carbon emissions being released into the environment. This calls for less pollution, and a more ecofriendly, healthy society for us all.
In conclusion, limiting car usage in your daily life can cause a drastic change. These changes include a decrease in the amount of stress one inhabits, to less pollution, and a beneficial effect on carbon emissions. Our society as a whole has the opportunity to reduce car usage, so why not grab it while we have the chance. A healthier environment calls for a healthier you.

[/INST] With all this talk about greenhouse gasses, you think to yourself "What can i do to change all of this?". It's not as hard as you think. Some cities in foreign countries and this one are actually giving up their licence (short term or long term) so that the can walk, bike, carpool, or take public transportation rather than taking their own car. This is a great thing, especially with global warming and such. Some advantages of limiting car usuage can be: a less stressful and safe life, a reduction in harmful gasses, and a healthier lifestyle.
When you walk around your town (depending on the size of it) you see a lot of cars. You have to walk around on the sidewalks and worry about the fact that a small mistake by a driver can end your life. But in a city that has no cars driving around, you don't have to worry about that at all. You can not worry about how much the gas prices are because you may be car pooling or taking the bus. In "
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"
by Elisabeth Rosenthal, she asked a citizen on what she thought of the no car law, she said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." (line 3), she saw how having no fast-moving hunks of metal can be a very stressless situation. A community that doesn't have this stress can worry about other things now.
It's often talked about in the news. Greenhouse gasses. Global warming. We hear about all the time and how it's affected by emissions of cars. How could we avoid it? Simple, we stop driving around so much. Cars in Europe are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and we in the United States make up 50 percent of it (Elisabeth Rosenthal, line 5). It's especially bad in Paris, where the gasses are so bad that there was 5 days of smog, only rivaled by Beijing, China the most polluted city in the world (Robert Duffer, line 14), which it's so bad in Beijing the citizens of the city have to wear masks covering their noses and mouths to protect themselves from the harmful gasses. It's horrible that people have to live in such horrible conditions.
If you gave up driving to everywhere you go, you wouldn't just help the world with greenhouse gasses, you'd also be helping yourself. People nowadays sit at home watching TV and snacking. But do you know how much walking and biking could do to help the health of people. This would be the case if there was a limitation on driving cars. Getting exersize is also a great stress-reliever. Also it helps with the nasty smog that's been mentioned. People wouldn't be breathing in harmful gasses if there was a limitation or ban to car usage in most contries. Air pollution effects all of us as human beings.
Most of us can't think of a society without cars, but it's very possible. We can, however, make a society exactly like that to some extent. Running around screaming about global warming won't do much unless you take action. Not only will it help the Earth to have better air, it can help lead a more stress-free, safe life and a healthier one that'll only need you to walk or bike to some places.

[/INST] Ever since the invention of cars, people have used them in their everyday travel, whether it is to work or to pick up kids from school. However, over the past few year, car usage has been decreasing steadily in countries around the world. Limiting car usage is beneficial to the sociey since it reduces polltion and hinders stress to the citizens.
An advantage of limiting car use is the decrease of the emission of greenhouse gases and overall pollution. In source one,
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, it is stated that reducing car usage, "is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes." In other words, the reducing of using cars in turn drastically reduces greenhouse gases emitted. This statement is important because the reduced amount of pollution in the air is an advantage to the citizens who limit car usage. Also, Elisabeth Rosental says in source four,
The End of Car Culture, that the limiting of car usage, "will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions." This illustrates that cars are a major source of damage to the environment in America, and that the limiting of using the car will improve the overall atmosphere of the area. In that case, it is a major advantage since it drastically changes the environment for the better due to the decreasing of emissions. Plus, in source two,
Paris bans driving due to smog,
Robert Duffer further states that, "after days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." This explains that the using of cars affected the city of Paris so negatively, that they had to ban cars to clear the smog, or polluted air. The statement further goes to show that because of polltion, car usage has many disadvangtages in the sociey. Nevertheless, the decrease of pollution is an advantage in the limiting of car usage.
Lower stress levels in people is also a major advantage of limiting car usage. This is evident in source three,
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, when it is stated that when not driving, "it's a good opportunity to take away stress." This statement reinforces the fact that limiting car usage relieves stress in people. It is important because the lowering of stress in turn makes the citizens of the socitey happier, which is an advantage of using a car less. On the other hand, in source one, Rosenthal writes that, "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." This means that when this person had a car, they were stressed, but when they sold their car, they had a more improved lifestyle. This statement demonstrates that when using a car less, people experienced a more positive way of life in comparison to their life with the constant reliance of driving a car. In source four, it is also written that, "commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time." The reducing of traffic by not using cars impacts stress levels since people do not have to worry about arriving at a place on time and having to sit in traffic for hours. This results in demonstrating how limiting car usage has a positive influence in a citizen's stress level. Based on this evidence, an advantage of limiting car usage is the lowering of stress levels.
In conclusion, limiting car usage is very beneficial because it decreases pollution and stops the raising of stress levels. This means that not overly relying on a car has many advantages to a citizen and the atmosphere they live in. It is important because in order to have an improved soceity with clean air and happier people, cars should be limited in when they are used to travel. People should then stop using their cars to get everywhere, and should instead try to walk or bike to get to their destination. By doing this, people will clearly see the effects of limiting car usage.

[/INST] Cars are one of the most iconic things about American culture. America "is the birthplace of the Model T; the home of Detroit; the place where Wilson Pickett immortalized "Mustang Sally..." (source 4) From Mustangs to trucks America has it all and we, as a people, think of cars as a necessity in life and we see them all around us everyday. So what if our car usage was limited? It mght not be as bad as you think. Reducing our usage of cars has advantages such as bettering the environment and improving the structure of a city.
Reducing our use of the car would have numerous positive effects on the state of the environment around us. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gs emisions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." (source 1) The pollution has gotten so bad in cities like Paris that they have even gone so far as to "...enforce[d] a partial driving ban to clear the air..." (Source 4) The havy car usage that we are accustomed to increases the amount of these harmful gases in the environment. "...emisions from an increasing number of private cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities." (source 1) Reducing our usage, or even completely eliminating it, would improve our environment drastically and help maintain and lower the amount of pollution in the air.
There have been pioneering cities who have already started banning cars, even for just a day, like Vauban, Germany and Bogota, Colombia. The residents of Vauban, Germany have done something no one before them has, they have given up their cars. 70 percent of the residents there don't even own a car anymore and have said that they are much happier this way. While some may say that the elimination of cars might be detrimental to car comapnies, there have been companies, like Ford, who have "partner[ed] with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which 'pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and oublic transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emisions,a nd improve safety'" (source 4) In this town of Vauban, Germany public transportation has been made more accessible eliminating the need for a car, and in turn has made places like shopping malls more accessible on main roads. In Bogota, Colombia there has been a car-free day where people find other means of transportation like biking, walking, or buses to get around for the day. "The goal is to promot ealternative transportation and reduce smog." (source 3) Other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar, have joined Bogota in this event, also having a car-free day. This day has made changes throughout the city improving sidewalks, reducing traffic, openingv new shooping districts, and even constructing 118 miles of bicycle path. The effects of the reduction and elimination of car usage can be seen in these citys' sturctures and the improvements that have been made.
The limiting of car usage has been shown to be helpful to the environment and helps to better the structure of a city and like Bogota, Valledupar, and even Paris we should all take into consideration the positive effects that limited car usage would have on us.

[/INST] In a suburb city in Germany, people have quit using their cars. Why ? so the communtiy can create denser cities and so people can walk with more space and not worrying about any car accidents that could happen while their walking or driving an automobile. Paris has also banned the use of automobiles so that the air inthe community can perhaps not get too polluted with gas, oil, and other chemicals that damage us. Here a are few advantages people can optain with these new rules and laws.
If fewer automobiles are used during day and night, people who walk from work, or ruuning errands can have an easier time breating the less-polluting air. In many locations around the world has residents that don't own or use a car or motorcycle because this can benefit the community by making it safer to walk. I source 4, the passage shares information about percentages of young people that own cars, but rarely use them on a daily basis. Source 3 talks about a couple cities in Colombia declining car use since a variety of people in Colombia have car and motorcycle access, the streets get polluted extremely easy, so residents tried to reduce the amount of smog in the community.
My grandfather who live in Cali, Colombia for example, dislikes relying on his car so much to travel places. Many times, he walks to certin locations beacuse he explained to people who lives on his street the damage car oil and gas can effect the communtiy harmfully. To many people, driving cars is the normal way to get to places, but to others, walking is their best option.

[/INST] The invention of the automobile revolutionized the way humans traveled from place to place in the 20th century, but now since we have entered the 21st century, people are beginning to question why we implement the automobile so much into our lives. The automobile should not be so interconnected within our lives, in fact, limiting it's usage would have many advantages. These advantages include cutting down on our carbon footprint, and reducing the amount of stress and congestion within our streets.
Restricting the usage of the automobile can benefit the enviroment immensly. After all, transportation is the second largest source of pollution in the US, so restricting automobiles can severly reduce the impact of carbon emissions on our enviroment (Rosenthal). If we don't take action now, and start cracking down on pollution from carbon emissions, our cities will develop smog problems similar to what Beijing experiences, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world (Duffer). Fortunetly for Paris, a week of partial driving bans helped clear the five days of near-record pollution it was experiencing, and it helped it return to normal (Duffer). If five days of reducing the number of drivers by half manages to clear the smog from Paris, it's possible to delay or even halt the risng of global warming across the planet if the globe decides to enact restrictions on car usage. Therefore, restricting car usage could have inumerable benefits for our enviroment.
Another advantage of restricting car usage would be a reduction in the amount of stress and congestion crowding our city streets. For instance, when Paris enacted the weeklong half ban on automobile usage, congestion was down 60% in the city's streets (Duffer). Another instance of a city banning automobiles is Bogota, Columbia, which bans cars one day a year. The goal is intended to promote alternative transportation in the city, and this leaves the "streets of this capital city eeirly devoid of traffic Jams" (Selsky). Many citizens enjoy this day, and resident Carlos Arturo Plaza described the day as "a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" (selsky). A city called Vauban in Germany are pioneering a new type community where no cars are permitted within the city, and the only area they are permitted are the outskirts of the city. This orientation benefits the residents by elimating most of the noise and stress of car engines running, and instead replacing them with the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children (Rosenthal). A resident of the pioneer city, Heidrun Walter, said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (Rosenthal). Therefore, limiting car usage collosally reduces the pandomonium and congestion we experience everyday in our lives due to automobiles.
All in all, restricting car usage poses numerous advantages for everyone. The advantages include reducing our impact on the enviroment by cutting down carbon emissions, as well as decreasing the amount of stress and congestion found in our city streets.

[/INST] Limiting car usage helps in multiple ways from decreasing air pollution to boosting new restaurants bussiness. Others who have completely left their car have seemed more happy and "less tense" as a ex-car owner put it.
An important factor of the decreased usage of automobiles is that it decreases pollution. Cars in Europe are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions. And up to fifty percent in car-intensive areas in the United States. An example is Paris. It had days of near record pollution they had to enforce a temporary driving ban to clear the air. Traffic was down sixty percent and smog was decreasing. The pollution challenged Beijing, China who is known to be one of the most polluted cities in the whole world. Paris normally has more smog than any other European Capitals.
Limiting your car usage also has personal perks besides lower air pollution. Bogota,Colombia has had its third straight year of banning cars people have started hiking, biking,skating and walking to point A to B it helps bussinesses get popular. Parks and sports centers have started sprouting.

[/INST] I think if we limit the usage of cars it could possibly be a good thing. America has very high pollution a lot of it comes from cars, second only to power plants. If say Jacksonville decided to be car free it would be hard because Jacksonville is the biggest city, according to how much land it takes up. But Vauban in Germany is the perfect city for it because it has 5,500 people in a rectangular square mile which is small and allows people to walk from place to place. But jacksonville, say if i wanted to walk to Orange Park it would take a long time beacause it is already a 45 minute drive.
If America was to become car free then there would be a lot of complications, such as if you live at the beach and have to go downtown for work and cant catch a bus. I think America should pick one city to start this and if it works well then move it to a whole state and only allow buses and taxis to be driving around. In America the drving peak has already passed, in 2005 was the when the highest amount of cars and most driver liscense were given out.
An advantage of being "car free" would be that the stress of evryday life would go down. A lot of stress results from cars and driving. If you get stuck in traffic your going to get mad but we wouldnt have to worry about traffic anymore because we would be either walking or taking buses/taxis. Also local buisness would be making more money because if a person is walking they are going to want to eat what ever is nearest to them. People live very close to some local buisness and instead of just driving by them all the time you would actually eat there.
Looking into the future I could see honestly say I dont see America becoming car free. I see it staying in Europe the reason I say this is because we have a lot of evryday commuting going on, in every city, in every state someone is almost always out driving wether its to catch a early flight or to get a head start on a road trip. people are always drving. Looking back into the past, a lot of people did walk places, and then more and more people started driving and it eventually caught on.
So now once again I ask you, do you think America will ever become car free? Do you think less and less people will start driving or will the number of drivers increase? People who have tried this seem to be a little less stessed wich could ultimatley help us all.

[/INST] There are different types of cars, small cars, big ones, different colors, etc. In general, we can say that cars have changed the world but, in what way? Well, people say that cars has been very useful to us all, but in reality it has been harmful to not only us but the earth swell. In many countries they are banning the usage of the cars because of so much pollution. Studies show that in Europe "passenger cars are responsable for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions" and to make matters worse, it is "up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States." This shows how much cars have been harming the earth by increasing the greenhouse gases.
On the other hand, some people have been getting rid of their cars because their country charges them fees for having a car and for parking swell. Other places where pollution is at the top like Paris, have banned car usage on certain days for people and if they fail to not us their cars they will have to pay a fine. All of this, causes tension and stress as a matter of fact, a woman once said "when I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." Limiting or not using at all your car can free you from tension and stress, also reducing pollution which will help your health.
Furthermore, studies show that in the United States people are buying less cars than before and less people are retaining their drivers license. This is something good because one of "President Obama's goals is to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions." This shows how many people are trying very hard to reduce car usage which will reduce pollution. Even young people who are considered rebels of the streets are taking this into consideration because studies "found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.." People are aware of the changes that are going on like what a professor said "different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long term cultural shift." Reducing or limiting car usage or not using cars at all will not only help you, it will help your neighbors, your family, and most important the earth, where we live in. Take it for granted that this will change the world once again.

[/INST] "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,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor" (Rosenthal paragraph 2). Heidrun Walter is the typical mother of two that has a job as a media trainer. Unlike most people, Heidrun lives in the city of Vauban, Germany. Vauban is a one of a kind district that cracks down on car use and promotes walking and public transportation. Heidrun describes this life as a happier one and that cars make things tense. There are advantages to this way of life such as a rexaled lifestyle and fewer pollutions.
Not having a car makes one persons life less stressful by making the internet a better way to communicate, having funner ways to transport yourself, and making it easier to access stores. Getting in a car to go to a freinds house is in most cases is a long stressful process that can be eliminated through a culture without cars that opens up Internet use to communicate instead. "She cites various factors: the Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends" (Rosenthal paragraph 35). Mimi Sheller is explaining how you don't have to get into a car to be with your friends and that the Internet is a simplier option. Instead of using a car to get to work, it may be a healthier and funner option for people to start walking or riding a bike. " 'It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife" (Rosenthal paragraph 24). In the quote, Carlos describes how stress is relieved by lower pollution and opening yourself up to activities that you and someone you love could enjoy while getting to work. Stress can be driven by simple things in life such as trying to find a parking spot to access the market. "In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway" (Rosenthal paragraph 6). To have less stress in your life it could be easier to live in a no cqar community that makes any store you need only a walk away from your house leaving you free of the harshness of finding a parking spot. Internet communication, alternate transportation, and walk ways to stores make a happier and healthier life for the average person.
Cars in most countrioes are the leading pollutants and it could be wise for people to try and reduce smog, greenhouse emissions and diesel use by not picking up tthe keys to your car. Smog in some place has gotten so bad that car use had to be stopped completely. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog . . .[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world" (Rosenthal paragraph 14). Paris went through major smog that makes them reconsidering the use of automobiles.

[/INST] Automobiles, cars. They've been here for centuries. Without cars we still would be riding horses. Thanks to inventors we now don't have to walk to our destination, tired and glum. These vehicles has help us with a lot of things mainly transportation, but can a little to much of transpotation hurt our enviorment and ourselves? We hurt the enviroment using cars, some of you might not notice because it isn't an everyday thing. The daamages that happen to our home, Earth happens over time. If we just limit car usage you can see will see the progress, but some people will say "no, we will never get anywhere without using our cars". Well Vauban, Germany has some things quite opposite from that.
Vauban, Germany where residents in the community gave up their cars. Vauban was completely a car free zone, except the main thouroughfare. Yes, people still had their cars, the people just couldn't use them. Some people would be quite upset not to have a car, but in Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes ON Without Cars a woman named Heidrun Walter changes that statement. Accordingly to Heidrun Walter a mother of two and a media trainer's perspective she says, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Sometimes riding in a car can be very stressfull having children in the car making noise and if you're late to work, but there is tons of traffic. Giving up cars may help some people be tense free, but another reason Europe gave up cars is to help decrease the percent of green house gases emmisions that cars release in Europe.

[/INST] There are a lot advantages and disadvantages of limiting car usage around the world but let's talk about the advantage of limited car usage right now if cars were limited there are a lot of great things that can happen for one greenhouse gases emissions will reduce drastically, the streets will be more safer no more accidents, people will save more money from not buying a car, crime rate will go down, and people can get exercise if they walked or biked to places instead.
Firstly, if cars get limited then greenhouse gas effect will go down that means less pollution and to destroy the ozone layer which means a lot of pollution needs to disappear if we don't want the hole in the ozone layer to get bigger then it already is which means more UV light is coming in from the sun because our protection is slowly being eaten away from all this pollution that means we can get burned more easily from the sun and eventually the world can catch fire more easily when even more UV gets in that is why a lot more forests are getting burned it's because all of this dry weather doesn't mix well with a lot of UV light coming in and also all forests can destroyed and not come back and the animals will go extinct.
Secondly, if cars are limited the streets will be safer because less and less people are driving that means no more hit and runs, drunk driving, accidents in the road to cause a blockage making people late or stuck for an hour or so, less lives taken, no more traffic, no more texting and driving, no more cras explosions or fires to cause anymore damage, kids will be able to play more often outside then inside, and no more damage to buildings.
Thirdly, if cars are limited people will have more money if they buy a car a lot of people in the United States are having financial issues where they don't have money to pay certain bill or get things that they need because they have a car which means gas money when it needs gas, when gotten into an accident you gotta pay to get it fixed while its being fixed you gotta get a rental car, and when it breaks down and doesn't work anymore you haft to get a new one but if cars were limited money will be easier to save.
Fourthly, if cars are limited then people can get exercise obesity has increased over the years because of all of the fatty food we have people are gaining weight fast and it doesn't help that people have cars which makes it easier to get around and get even more food to stuff their faces with but if cars get limited then people can either bike or walk to places giving them the excercise they need to lose all that weight and obesity rates will go down and everyone will be healthy and not a lot of people will die from a heartattack.
Finally, if cars were limited then crime rates will go down that means less DUIs, no more theft of cars, theft of household items, hit and run, speed chases, drive by shootings, life will be safer when cars are off the streets, worry free environment, and people won't haft to worry about getting objects getting destroyed in any wreckage of a criminal who is running away from the police.
In conclusion, if cars get limited pollution will drop, no more accidents on the street, financial issues will go away, crimes will slowly go away, and obesity rates will go down from the excersise that people will get if cars were limited people could live a simple life, worry free but they can't because no one stops the productions of cars that people are afraid of because they are dangerous to people and the world so it would be easier if cars didn't exsist.

[/INST] There are a lot of advantages of limiting car usage. Yes a lot of people use cars to get around, but there are other ways to get around. Limiting car usage would probably cause a lot of complaints, but I think once people started limiting how much they drove everyday, they wouldn't see the need as much.
In Paris, for example, they have banned driving due to smog. The story "Paris bans driving due to smog", Robert Duffer states that "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after fivedays of the smog." Only five days of banning drivers brought the smog rate down 60 percent, that's huge. To make it easier for the people of Paris to get around, they had public transit free of charge for those five days. If driving was banned for a while people would find other ways to get around, and other people in the community would help them, like the transit bus giving free rides those five days.
Some people may argue that it's a free country and we shouldn't be limited to how much we're allowed to drive our cars. Yes it's a free country but limiting car usage is actually getting people to be active, instead of being lazy and driving everywhere you go. The United States has the highest percentage of obesity. With limiting how much you can use your car it will make people walk places, if they really have to go somewhere. Also riding a bike, or even riding a bus or train. However, unlike your own car, to get to the bus stop or train station, it will take some walking, which is good.
Also another advantage of limiting car usage would be all the things that would be fixed around our community. With people walking more, the community and city people would want to make our area look better while we walk. In the story "Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" Andrew Selsky states, "..Pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." With less driving and more walking to get to places, the community would fix our sidewalks and make more shopping centers and restaurants closer.
Limiting car usage will be hard to adjust to at first, but I think in the long run it's a winwin. It helps us get active and lower our stress from driving, and it helps our environment.

[/INST] As the world begins to grow and expand, many people have found that living without cars can be more beneficial. Cities and suburbs around the world, have found that reducing car usage has a grest number of advantages. This is reducing pollution, and is reducing stress. The world is shifting into a new way of life, not involving cars.
Cars release a large amout of greenhouse gases into the atmospere every single day, and this is harming the environment. Experts explain that, "efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes" (Rosenthal), have been taking place in suburban communities in Germany. This has resulted with a, "12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50% in car-intensive areas in the United States" (Rosenthal). Also, Paris has seen near-record amounts of pollution and smog in the city, so the global city has limited motorists' driving on two days of the week, Monday and Tuesday. The climate in Paris, "[causes] the warm layer of air to trap car emissions" (Duffer), thoughout the atmospere in the city, but the limitation on motorists at the beginning of the week has allowed the smog to clear up.
Helping the environment is not the only benefit of reducing car usage, yet it can also relieve stress in your eveeryday life. There is no need to stress out over traffic, finding somewhere to park, or even paying the expences that come with owning a car. In Germany, most residents don't own cars, and Heidrun Walter explained that she is, "much happier this way" (Rosenthal), because she doesnt have to worry about traffic. She has enjoyed a healthier life style that is stress free, by walking or biking to the places she needs to be. In Colombia, there is a day that citizens will not use cars, once a year. Businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza agrees that, "it's a good opportunity to take away stress" (Selsky). There is no need to worry about rush hour, or other traffic.
Others don't see the advantages of reducing car usage. Delivery companies complain about the loss in revenue, yet they aren't thinking about the benefits. They can save their employees from stressing out, or even help the environment. Reducing car usage would be a huge cultural shift, that has many advantages.

[/INST] Think about how many times a week we get in a car to drive somewhere. I know I drive to school, to lacrosse practice, and to spend time with friends on a weekly basis. Some people may claim that driving is a possitve aspect of our culture because it allows us to get from one place to another and accomplish tasks in a timley fasion, but driving in excess has some serious consequences. Although some may argue that it is impossible to completely cut out an action that is essential to our daily lives, and that cutting down on driving would not be adventageous, limiting the amount of time we spend driving has many advantages. Cutting down on automobile use will decrease pollution in our air, and make us healthier and happier, which is why many legeslators and cities are reducing automobile use.
Beijing, China, is the most polluted city in the world according to Robert Duffer of the Chicago Tribune in 2014. (source 2 paragraph 14) This is due to the fact that Bejing's automobile use is extremly high. When the city of Paris was faced with a similar crisis, it issued a partial driving ban that allowed people to only drive on days that the government said they could in accordance to their lisence plate number, or they would face a fine. (source 2 paragraph 10-19). This revolutionary ban caused the air pollution in Paris to drop so much that the ban was lifted after only one day. The drop in air pollution clearly refutes the claim that cutting down on driving is not adventageous. Cutting down on automobile use is beneficial to the environment because, according to Elizabeth Rosenthal of the New York Times in 2009 (source 1 paragraph 5), "Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the United States." Limiting automobile use is crucial to cleaning our air and stopping the burning of fossil fuels, thus explains why is beneficial to limit our car use.
Although some might argue that driving a car to work is easier, evidence shows that people who limit their car use are happier and healthier. Rosenthal writes about the city of Vauban, Germany, where "70% of Vauban's families do not own a car." (source 1 paragraph 3) Heidrum Walter, a carless citizen from Vauban, states that, "When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." (source 1 paragraph 3) The concept of people being happier and healthier without cars is further proved in Bogota, Columbia, where, according to Andrew Selsky of the Seattle Times in 2002, "For the third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in the capital city of 7 million." (source 3 paragraph 21) Carlos Arturo Plaza stated, "It's a good opprotunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"as he rode his bike with his wife. The statements from Walter of Vauban and Plaza of Bogota show how limiting automobile use is advantageous to the overall well-being and happiness of people, thus we should limit our automotive use.
Limiting automobile use is so beneficial, that many groups and legeslators are supporting a society with less cars. The EPA in the United States is promoting "car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act. (source 1 paragraph 9) David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America, states that, "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." Sociology proffesor at Drecel University, Mimi Sheller, further elaborates, stating, "Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift." (source 4 paragraph 35) The support for a "car reduced" society by the US government and the EPA is the cherry on top to all of the benefits associated with driving less, thus we should limit our automobile use.
Society is changing. A study last year found that driving by young people decreased by 23% between 2001 and 2009. (source 4 paragraph 41) Now is the time to turn off the engine, get out of the car, and take a bus, bike, or train to work. By limiting our automobile use, we keep our air clean by burning less fossil fuels, and we are happier and healthier, which is why organizations like the EPA support the reduction of car use. We need to act today to save the next generation of citizens from ecological destruction. The benefits of reducing car use are countless, which explains why we should limit our automobile use.

[/INST] It is an innovative idea from may people to cut down on the use of a motor vehicle. in these passages it gives pros on the better enviormental way of living.
The first source talks about a city that is in Germany called Vauban, where residents have accepted the challenge of no car usage. The city is designed for walking to department stores, grocery stores, ect. But this so what utopia is not all a utopia itself, where 30 percent of families own cars. Also the United States Enviornmental Proctection Agency is promoting "car reduced" communities like Vauban. This action to have a car reduced communites was because of the damage done by cars on the enviornment by pollution.
The second and third source is about how a city took matter into their own hands and had a "car free day". In the cities of Paris and Columbia is where it took place. First the reasons why is because of near-record pollution of poulltion in the enviornment of Paris. Where on Columbia the reason for the car frre day was because they want to promote alternative transportation and smog. In Coulmbia this day has been going on three years straight!
In the last source, it tells about how car culture is ending slowly. In the United States pople have been "buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." A study shows that driving by young people has decreased by 23 percent from 2001 and 2009.
Finally, all these sources have explained that a non motorized vehicle is for the best in our health and in our enviornment. it is a new and innovatied way that is being accepted by a numerous amount of the population.

[/INST] "The day that mankind realizes that their creations destroy the true beauty of mother nature it will be too late." This quote by one of our nations greatest political and environmental activists, Irvin Green, directly applies to the topic of reducing pollution. One simple, yet extremely effective way to reduce pollution is limiting the transportation methods we travel by. Limiting car and vehicle usage can reduce pollution, nearly eliminate accidents, and makes the road a safer place.
In many places such as Germany, Paris, and Columbia, many ambitious ideas are being put into play to help battle pollution. In the article, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", it is stated that in Vauban Germany, 70 percent of families do not own vehicles. The other 30% that do, do not have a place to park them, making them basically useless. Residents in Vauban have stopped their need for transportation, making malls and stores a walk away. In this new approach, pollution has drastically reduced in numbers and has made it a much safer and cleaner place to live.
The usage of vehicles are a doubleedged sword. They may get us to where we need to go with plenty of time to spare, but what are we really losing because of it? What we are losing is the environment and also our health. In Paris, the pollution rate almost reached a new record high, thus forcing the partial driving pan to clear the air of the global city. In the article, "Paris bans driving due to smog", its evident that cars hurt us in more ways then we realize. businesses are suffering due to the lack of transportation available to delivery their services as seen in source number two, "Delivery companies complained of lost revenue". "Congestion was down 60% in the capital of france after fivedays of intensifying smog..." The smog was so dense that Paris officials created a law making evennumbered license plates to leave there cars at home to reduce pollution. With half of the normal amount of cars driving, it almost elimated the total accident rate, making the road a safer place to be.
Despite the benefits that come along with transportation, there are more disadvanges then advantages. Pollution is the second largest source of America's emissions just behind power plants. Many sociologist have seen these statistics and have also noticed that American transportation usuage has slowly been declining since its peak in 2005. People are slowly but surely helping the cause in their own ways, whether its by delaying getting there license, limit there driving, or even carpooling with friends. Limiting car and vehicle usage can reduce pollution, nearly eliminate accidents, and makes the road a safer place to be.

[/INST] Cars. Everyone has cars. On the street, in their driveways, in parking lots. You think everyone uses car. Well your wrong. Not everyone has cars or uses cars for that matter.
In Vauban, Germany residents given up their cars to walk the streets. Where we generally park in like parking lots, parking garages, street parking, home driveways, and home garages are all forbidden. In Vauban their streets are completely car-free. They do allowed cars there but some people just want to walk to safe their community. But if you have are car you can only park in two places. Those two places are your house, and large garages at the edge of the development. I would never give up my car to live in Vauban, Germany. In matter of fact 57% of people have sold their cars to live there. To believe or not 70% of Vaubans families do not own cars. To me its hard to think that people actually walk everywhere they go.
Paris bans driving to clean the air of the global city because of pollution. Due to the ban of driving people who are caught driving will be fined 22-euro which is $31 in america. France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Its hard to believe that diesels make up 67% of France, compared to 53.3% of average diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe. The smog cleared enough that French part rescind to ban odd numbered plates on Tuesday.
Today Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions. This thing has left people like researchers woundering a fundamental question " Has America pass peak driving?" As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was neraly 9% below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995.
Its carzy how some countries have no cars allowed policy. Some countries baned cars, dont allow them on the streets. People would go carzy if they didnt have their cars and had to walk everywhere they want to go.

Manage your time carefully so that you can read the passages; plan your response; write your response; and revise and edit your response.

[/INST] Thousands of Americans use their own car or a vehicle as their main transportation in their every day lives. No one seems to look at how cars are actually destroying the environment ,rather then helping it. Mainly since the fuel that is given off from a vehicles engine is effecting the environment in a negative way. In all reality the reason why we as humans use our own vehicles is because its a faster way of transportation and carries us to our destination. This is why limiting car usage will be beneficial money wise and create a healthier environment.
Reducing the car usage is beneficial to creating a cleaner and safer environment. Not only will this effect the environment but your life as well. According to source 1 it states," Passengers cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emission in Europe." Based on this fact I can acknowledge the fact of how automobiles can effect the greenhouse. The greenhouse is a cycle in which can have a huge impact on our environment. If we destroy that then that may result in even more damages that are caused now. It also states, "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France , after five days of intensifying smog..." In result, the smog then continued to places such as Bejing, China. Which I personally would consider to be a horrific thing, considering China is very congested already and is one of the most pollued cities in the world. Some may argue of the fact that car usage is their main way from going to point A to point B , but there is proof that is effecting the cities around us. Experts have concluded that there is about 50 percent car intensive areas located in the United States. This is why car usage should be reduced to have create a better environment.
The suburbs are taking action to create denser cities. The purpose of having denser cities is to have a low suburban life. In source 1 it states, " In this new approach , stores are placed a walk away, on main street, rather than in malls along some distant highways." This experiment will help to encourage more ways to attempt public transportation. For instance, riding your bicycle once in a blue moon. Not only are you saving money but you are preventing less traffic from occurring in your area. Some may argue having a low suburban life can be hard to adapt to but it will provide a safer environment. Especially since you are one step closer to making the world less polluted then it already is. I personally would agree on occasionally using a different way to get to my destination. It will not only benefit me in the long run but also cause less chaos on the road. It also states in the text," the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting car "reduced communties", and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously." This means that the Environmental Agency are starting to promote reducing car in certain communities. Some may argue why is there a need to reduce the amount of cars in a community ,but on the other hand that community may be over populated or congested of cars. If this is so, then this will just have another negative impact of the environment. The purpose of the program is to benefit the area you are and to lessen then the issue of car usages. All in all, the suburbs are taking action to create denser cities.
Programs are also being created to spread the news of Car Free day. The purpose for Care Free day in Bogota , Columbia is a day you participate in to prevent traffic jams. For example, In source 3 it states, "..millions of Colombians hiked, biked, and skated or took buses to work during a car free day." This day isn't ment for people who live in Bogota, Colombia but they are trying to influence this tradition in several other countires. Other may agree of this day being pointless , but I can see this having a huge impact on the world. Sooner or later this day will become a tradition not only in several other countries but also in the United States. it also states in source 3," Its a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pulltion, said a bussniessman." Especially since it rained on the Car free day this didnt stop nor discourage anyone from participating in the event. The event turned out to be a huge success and reduced the amount of smog that day. In my perspective we are all come together as one to build our community together. It takes more thenone person to have such a huge impact on the world. The goal if to lessen the usage of car to have a positive effect on the environment. The influence of the Car free day is just one step closer to reaching that goal. This will is why programs are being creates to spread the news of Car free day.
After looking of the causes and effects of limiting car usage , it all comes down to having a big influence on the world. It takes one area such as Bogota, Columbia to have a huge impact. In our every day lives , our car is our main resource for transportation, but this should change. Not only are you capable of helping to have a postive effect on the environment but so am I. This just shows how if we are all willing to come together as a community, we are capable of creating a healthier environment. This is why the world should influence limiting car usage.

[/INST] limiting car usage is popular talk amongst most leaders and politicians. there are many advantages to shortining the usage of cars throughout not just countries but the whole world.
The use of cars cause many accidents and even deaths.
some cars and most trucks are polutting the atmoshpere.
Cars can also cause people to be lazy and not get enogh physical activity.
cars do provide a quicker way of transportation for those who cant or dont have a train to ride.
Car accidents is the leading death toll amongst americans. Even though source#4 states that"As of april 2013, the numbers of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. Part of the explanation certainaly lies in the recession, because americans cant afford new cars".
Even france started to join the banning of cars to a certain exstent. Source #2 says" congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five days of intensifying smog...[The smog] rivaled beijing, china, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world". Smog is caused by to much car pollution with cold weather.
i believe that unless you are in the country side you should not drive. if you are going a short distance you can take a city bus, train or even just do it old fashioned and walk/ride a bike. If you are going long distances take a train. This would cause less acciddents and it would raise health for people.
If you dont have a train or any public transportation near your area i would recommend buying a car that you actually need. not just buying something to show off around town. if you need a truck then get one but if you are just trying to get from point a to point b then i would recommend a hybrid. something that uses either all electricity or even most elecrticity and some gas.
limiting car usage is popular talk amongst most leaders and politicians. there are many advantages to shortining the usage of cars throughout not just countries but the whole world. This talk could end up changing the world for a better most likely. it could help save moey and boost the economy. some people wanna hang on to their cars so bad that in paris even numbered lincense plates were ordered to leave their cars at home our suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). Almost 4,000 drivers were fined and even some people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine.

[/INST] Our population is booming and with it, our car industry. Cars have provided us with mulitple pros for example, getting us places more quickly, and transportation of goods and services is more efficient. We have to know though that with every good follows a bad, and our beloved cars might not be as great as we belive them to be! Pollution from cars has affected our enviornment severley, we have thousands of accidents daily, and we are stressed due to traffic congestion and daily driving. So, limitting car usuage could provide us with many advantages because our enviornment will not nearly be as polluted, and we will be less stresssed out.
Our enviornment has been infected with toxic greenhouse gasses, and carbon emmisions which comes from our cars' tailpipes. Mixed with rain, the pollution causes a heavy smog making it nearly impossible for people to even see what is right in front of them making it very dangerous. We are now forced to hold days where no one is able to use their own cars because the pollution is so bad. Arturo Plaza explains that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. (Par 24)" On these special days, we are able to see and enjoy how much better it is living in a cleaner enviornment! It is much healthier for us and is a major advantage says Elisabeth Rosenthal. She explains that by not driving our cars, we'll drasitcally reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses. (Par 5)" This is a great advantage and isn't intangible to us!
Everyday we carry stress on us from school, work, and family life so why add on any more? When driving, the level of stress in clearly inevitable. Worrying every second on how other people are driving, being cautious, and traffic jams amp it up even more! By not driving, our stress levels will subside quite substancioully. Heirun Walter is a civialian in a town with no car usage. She explains that "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way. (Par 3)" Even though she is a mother of two and a media trainer, she is able to live a life less stressed without her own car. Also for example, people living in the town are much less stressed because their children can play in the front yard with out them having to worry about the passing cars. Heidrun Walter explains that she can walk down the streets where the sound of children and passing bicycles drown out the sounds of motors. ( Par 3)"
We can help ourselves and our enviornment by limitng our car usage daily! Limiting usuage could provide us with many advantages because our enviornment will not nearly be as polluted, and we will be less stresssed out. This is not intangible to us, and can only bring our living standards to another level! We will be healthier, and live a better life.

[/INST] Living in a community without the use of cars can be extremely beneficial. It might seem odd to say such an idea because we have lived in towns with alot of car usage all of our lives. Heidrun Walter said, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Not having a car can be very stressless. This is because you do not have to worry about wrecking your car, keeping up with the insurance payments, talking care of it (such as oil changes) and eventually, having to buy a new one which can be very expensive.
Another reason why not having a car is beneficial is that it can help the enviornment. Right now, passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of Greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. This number keeps on climbing because more and more people are buying cars which just puts more gas into the enviornment.
An even greater benefit of living in a community without cars is that you can get more excercise. Sitting in the car everyday going to and from work for 2 hours is not being productive. However, in the existing car-free communities, all the necessary store are in walking or biking distance from the majority of the population. So, the commute to work for most people can be just like getting a daily exercise and staying in shape.
In conclusion, I firmly beleive that living in a community without cars would be a change for the better. It would help with everyones finanical situations and everyone would have better health because you would have to bike and walk everywhere. As of lately, it has seemed like less and less people have started to use cars. The number of miles drivn peaked in 2005 and has been dropping since. In April, 2013 the average number of miles driven was 9 percent below the peak in 2005.

[/INST] As a nation wide situation, cars are a main factor of what causes pollution. Limiting car usage helps to make the enviorment we live in better. With the fact of owning a car can be stressful,and the precent rates of car traffic and car purchase has decreased, people have commited to a automoblie free zone.
If in a perseptive of a mother or father, you would prefer for your child to stay inside and not play close to the road because of the slight chance they could be physical hurt by a car. According to Source 1 Heidrum Walter was always tense when owning a car and now living in a city where cars are very limited she is happy. As a citizen in Vauban; where giving up cars is normal, some don't want to. To own a car you must only have the option to park in to places. One is in a large garage at the outskirts of the development and or a house you have to purchase inn order for you to use the parking space. As the limiting of car usage, it would be a lot easier to walk from point A to point B instead of being abnormal and driving further to park. A average amount for a house to citizens that own a automoblie is fourty thousands dollars. It would much cheaper to walk,bike, run, or even skate to a destination.
In Bogota, Colombia it has become a trend to banned cars for one day out of the year. As people enjoy the car free day, they bike, walk, hike or took buses on the rainy day. Rain could not stop the passionate feelings against cars on that day. Many agreed that for just one day the air they walk everyday was different. Not only in Bogota and many other Colombian cities, Paris has joined in on the trend. Many were happy to see no car traffic on the busiest streets in Paris. As before the car banning, the air was horrible and rivaled against the world's most polluted city; Beijing. After the participation of car banning, the smog cleared up enough for the city to continued as before. It has been stated that less people are now involved and well known to a life without a car. People in a range of 16 and 39 dont even bother to get a driver's license because of the droping rates of owning a car. It can be expensive but also dangerous. With limiting car usage people just phone a friend and catch a ride or public transportation. Later on when people have the need fora car, like when having children, working, etc. it will be cheaper and easier to get a car since compaines want you to have one becuase of the lower rates and money not coming in from years before yourself.
Advantages comes with disadvantages as well. Limiting Car Usage comes with a change in enviorment, a better feeling in safety, decreasing in Congestion,and a future that you can see happening for yourself.

[/INST] Car usage in different parts of the world are becoming non-existant. In Vauban, Germany they have given up cars in hope of having a more suburban lifestyle. Street parking, driveways, and home garages are generally forbidden in this area on the outskirts of Fieburg. Vauban's streets are completly car free. Car ownership however is not forbidden but there are only two places to park in large garages on the edge of the developement. A media trainer and mother of two spoke about her details of this new rule, she stated she is much happier without a car. This will give children around a better enviroment to grow up in because everyone without cars will be outside playing, excercising, and riding bikes. In this new approach to they are making stores in walking distance from your home so you dont even need to use any type of transportation.
Paris also limits driving cars due to bad pollution. People were fined for driving on the roads with a 22-euro fine. These cold nights and warmer days were causing a warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. Diesel fuel was to blame since France has a tax policy that favors disel over gasoline. Delivery compaines complained about the stopage of veichles and lost revenue, but due to no one driving around the smog cleared the air.
in Bogota, Colombia they expirenced car-free day where everyone walked, hiked, road bikes, or took buses to work. Thsi was the third straight year where cars have been banned and buses and taxis permitted for the day without cars. The goal of this is to reduce smog in the air.
"The rain hasnt stopped people from participating" says the Mayor of Bogota
A bussiness man said its a great oppurtunity and lower air pollution. People in other countries have also stated that Bogota is creating a revolutionary change and this is crossing boarders.

[/INST] There are many advantages when you limit your car usage. By limiting your car usage you will have to choose a diffrent way of transportation and thats often walking or riding a bike. Those two choices of transportation are often used as stress relivers. Also you dont have to worry about traffic or having to rush out of work for the gym beacause you have all ready got in a little excrise
For exapmle in source 3 "car-free day is spinning into a big hit in bogota" it says " It's a good opporunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,". Also when limiting your car usage people often turn to walking, or biking as i've stated before. when a city has a high populltion of walkers and bikers they will have to start making public places closer. As stated in "source 1" (¶ 6) " In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway."When walking you can get a really nice excrise in when getting from place to place and riding a bike can also get your legs in shape. While siting in a car all day dosent help you out at all it's only polluting the air and has you on your butt all day. Less car driving can also mean less car wrecks.
Often people are late to work because of rush hour. As stated in "source 2" (¶14)"Congestion was down 60 precent in the capital of france". while riding a bike you dont really have to think about traffic. Another problem with driving is parking the less cars the less you'll have to worry about a parking space.

[/INST] Today, many people all around the world rely too heavily on their cars. There are many great reasons that car usage should be limited. Car usage should be decreased because owning a car can be stressful, dangerous, and cars give off unwanted gas and pollution. Although cars have been used for many years, it is not too late to take action on this problem.
Many people today would agree that buying and maintaining a car is very stressful. It is very expensive to own a car, and it takes a lot of hard work to keep the car in good shape. "I am much happier this way," states Heidrun Walter (Rosenthal, 3). Walter states that she is much happier without a car due to all the stress that comes with owning a car. Walter also states that while she had a car, she was "always tense," (Rosenthal, 3). This is probably because of the expenses and time she had to sacrifice while trying to take good care of her vehicle. This includes buying the car, paying for gas and insuance, repairs, and washing it. People will save themselves a lot of time and money if the amount of car usage is limited.
Not only are cars are stressful to maintain, but they are also very dangerous to operate. People run the risk of severe accidents every day when they drive their car. In Source 4, the author states that new forms of public transportation will "improve safety," (Rosenthal, 43). The most occuring accidents are car accidents, which happen everyday. Families will have to worry less about losing people they are close to. There will be less unecessary accidents, such as drunk driving, and using phones while behind the wheel. By reducing the amount of drivers on the road, the risk of these accidents will become much lower.
One last reason that car usage should be limited is that cars give off lots of unwanted gas and pollution into the air. Recently, Paris faced "near-record pollution," (Duffer, 10). This was caused by the extreme amount of emissions from their cars. The main cause for people wanting to reduce the use of cars is because of this unhealthy gas. Cities all over the world are making efforts to help reduce and prevent the emissions. The only way to do this is limit the usage of cars. "Transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions," (Rosenthal, 34). If the change can be made, then it should, in order to keep the environment safe. There isn't much time before the pollution gets out of hand.
Although so many people rely on cars so much, they do not see the advantages of not using them. Most people don't put into consideration how harmful these vehicles are to the environment. On top of that, they cause uneeded stress and danger. Because of these reasons, the usage of cars should be limited.

[/INST] "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Heidrun Walter source 1. For many years, people have depended on cars to take them places and allow them to live a normal life. However, the recent decline in driving and car sales has proven that there are many advantages to limiting car usage. Limiting car usage would help reduce the greenhouse effect, would help reduce smog and other lowair pollution, as well as helping promote aspects of the eeconomy which differ from purely car sales and transportation.
To begin with, the greenhouse effect, a large part of which is caused by cars and their emissions, is endangering not only our environments and ecosystems, but also life as we know it. According to source 1 In german Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, passengers car are the cause of 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and also responsible for approximately 50% of emissions in certain parts of the US. Setting restrictions would allow for a decline in emission of greenhouse gases, which in turn would better life on Earth. Its effects could be seen all over the world, such as in global warming, rising oceans, etc. Therefore, limiting car usage would have a positive effect, because it would reduce the emission greenhouse gases.
Equally important, the presence of smog, pollutioncaused fog, and lowair pollution is also endangering the wellbeing of humans and other species health, as well as the wellbeing of the Earth, so to speak. According to source 2 Paris bans driving due to smog by Robert Duffer, "After Days of nearrecord pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." after setting restrictions for five days, Paris saw an improvement in air quality. We can thus infer that setting restrictions regularly would help reduce the pollution and general smog of the area. Placing restrictions would help promote various means of transportation, such as public transportation, bikes, walking, etc. An example would be the one from source 3 Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota in this case, a day during which a capital city places restrictions of the use of cars, helps build a campaign, which allows for bike paths, parks, and sport centers to be created and for sidewalks to be repaired. It has also led to restrictions to regulate rushhour traffic. Clearly, reducing and limiting car usage can not only reduce smog and lowair pollution, but can also help create a more active city.
Finally, limiting car usage may promote different aspects of the eeconomy. According to source 1, the transportation bills in the US budget have, in the past, been used, for the most part, for highways. Reducing car usage may allow for certain parts of the US budget to be used for more important and diverse things, such as education, government funding, community life, and many more. Also, limitations on car usage could help conserve resources, allowing people to place their money into different aspects of their lives, like it is explained in source 4. Moreover, the less people can use their cars, the less people will buy cars source 4: "Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate. There has been a large drop in the percentage of 16 to 39yearolds getting a license". This will help people focus on rebuilding the economy. Obviously, there are economic advantages to limiting car usage, such as availability for flexibility in the government budget, conserving money, and the rebuilding of the eeconomy.
To conclude, there are various advantages to limiting car usage limitations may help improve the eeconomy, will help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, and will help reduce the lowair pollution and smog often found in largely populated areas.

[/INST] More people today are driving less and using public transportation, walking, or riding a bike more. The main reason for this is because it benifits our environment. When people drive a car it releases gases into the air and breaks down our ozone layer that protects us from harmful rays from the sun. Limiting car use helps by decreaseing the gases into the air. People all over the world are helping prevent the usage of cars in many ways.
In Germany, people are moving to places that are "car-free" which is stated in the article
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars . It also says that "cars ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park-Large garages...Where a car-owner buys a space, for 40,000, along with a home" (article 1 paragraph 2) This is trying to limit the usage of cars buy making it cost so much to park your car. Some people are saying that cars make them tense and by walking it makes them happier and more relaxed. They dont have to stress about putting gas in the car or driving safely. They are also trying to "make cities denser, and better for walking"(article 1 paragraph 6) Puting stores closer to areas with a higher population so people can walk to them helps. This is an advantage to people who live in car-free areas.
Paris is also taking part to help better our environment. They have "enfoced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city" according to the article
Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog . The city is being more forceful with this action by giving a fine of 22-euros ($31) to people who didnt leave their cars home on their day. Due to having these days banned from driving "congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France" (article 2 paragraph 14) By doing these two day France was no longer considered the most poluted city in the world, Beiging, China was the new holder of this name. People are now hopeing to get "plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers" This will help bennifit the environment by decreasing the air pollution in the air.
BOGOTA, Colombia is making their move by having a car-free day where Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work. " The goal is to promate altrenative transportation and reduce smog" according to the article
Car- free Day is Spinning into a Big Hit in Bogota . They want to show people there are several other ways to get somewhere without useing a car. A couple using a two-seat bicycle said it was a great way to take away stress and lower air pollution. Other cities in Colombia are also taking part in this event. Now the city of Bogota is making 118 miles of bike pathways for people to use daily. This day helps more people get outside and get active to. The article also states that " Parks and sport centers also have bloomed throughout the city" Having this day reduces the air pollution that was occuring and helps people relax.
To conclude, many citys are taking part in this act. They limited the car use and helped limit air pollution. People are starting to use cars less and take more alternative routes like walking or biking. Maybe you should try walking or riding a bike to work or school. You may like that more then driving and it helps the environment!

[/INST] Cars have become an every day part of our lives, not just for Americans but, for the world. We rely on our cars for everything, from getting to work or getting food to eat, our cars are what gets us there. But what would happen if we were banned from using our cars. Many places have banned cars, whether permanently or for just a few days, cars are being banned. Cars create stress, the also create harmful pollution, that damages our health and our planet. Another reason is that cars are naturally dying out and becoming used less, than before.
In a small community of residents, cars have been completely banned. These are people who gave up there cars to live in this car-free environment. This is an area of about 5,500 people who has gave up, or possible sold there car to live here. Many of the people find that it is more relaxing, than when they had to worry about their car. In the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars," Heidrun Walter expresses, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." From a statistic taken from this area, it shows that 70 percent of people in Vauban do not own cars, the others who couldn't give up there cars completely had to pay $40,000, along with their house to buy a garage all the way at the end of the development. This has create a car-free. along with a stress free environment for the suburban pioneers.
Cars let out exhaust that is created from gasoline and diesel. This exhaust is also know as pollution, which damages our planet, along with our own health. In Paris, cars were banned partial because, of the dirty air in this world know city. For five days a terrible smog engulfed the city, leaving the people no choice but to not allow any cars to be driven, until this smog cleared out. According to the information from "Paris bans driving due to smog," almost 4,000 drivers were fined for continuing to drive there vehicles. The only exceptions to this car ban was plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying more than three passengers, which causes less pollution. After a few days the restriction of cars was lifted, and cars could be driven after all the smog cleared.
The last reason we should limit our use of cars is because everyone else is stopping car use. We see hundreds of cars filling up highways, parking lots, or just driving down the road. But what we don't realize is how much car usage has dropped. In the passage, "The End of Car Culture," Adviser of Perspectives Doug Shorts explaining that " As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995." So are cars naturally dying out, or is there something that is causing it to drop so steadily? One theory is that many Americans can't afford a new car, also many unemployed people are not driving to work anymore. This leads to the question, are cars dying out, or are Americans just unable to get their hands on a new car?
We need to protect our planet and ourselves. With all this car usage, we are killing our planet and ourselves. We are releasing pollution into our air every time we crank a vehicle and drive. Then we proceed to inhale this infected air, which hurts us. Then we worry about our car, putting ourselves into stressful environment. This also causes harm to ourselves. So the next time you want to drive somewhere right up the road, put the keys down, and follow the trend.

[/INST] Their are so many advantages of limiting car usage, for example having no car might even make someone happy, Heidrun Walter says "When i had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Also driving cars can cause a lot of pollution, passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of the green house gas emissions in Europe. France had intense smog because of vehicles, it went 60 percent down after five days of no vehicle use.
Another benefit of no vehicle usage is instead of driving a car, you can go hiking, biking, skating , or take buses to your destination. "It's a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution," said Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two seat bicycle with his wife. The day without cars has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, which is the most of any other Latin American city. Parks and sports centers bloomed throughout the city on the day without cars in Bogota.
Also, in the United States Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses. Instead of driving vehicles to work, one can carpool with a workmate. New York has a new bike sharing program anits skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect new priorities, swell as carsharing programs across the nation. Driving by young people decreased 23 percent as of 2001 to 2009.
Even though driving a car might get you to your destination quicker, it is better to go on a train, bike, skate, bus, taxi, carpool, or even walk because when you use a car too much you pollute the Earth. Biking, skating, and walking can also be fun sometimes, so stop driving a car and do something more alternative and less air pollution, save the Earth.

[/INST] Limiting car usage can be very beneficial. It would improve communities, reduce pollution, and create better lifestyles.
By reducing the usage of cars, you allow for your community to flourish in other ways than building or repairing roads. Since there would be less people driving cars, the community can focus on other things. For example, in Bogota, Columbia, because of the Day Without Cars, there have been 118 miles of bicycle paths that have been constructed. Also, "parks and sports centers have bloomed throughout the city." Old sidewalks are being replaced with new ones, and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have also opened up. All of these great things are happening to the community of Bogota, Columbia, just because they have limited their usage of cars (source 3).
Also, limiting the use of cars would reduce pollution. In places like Paris, France, diesel has been blamed for Paris' days of nar-record pollution. Paris has more smog than most other European capitals, because they have more people driving cars (source 2). "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 US" (source 1).
Finally, decreasing the usage of cars would create better lifestyles for people. People would be healthier and happier, because instead of driving around everywhere, they get some fresh air and more exercise. Heidrun Walter said that "when [he] had a car [he] was always tense. [He is] much happier [not driving his car]" (source 1). Also, don't you hate it when you're stuck in the rush-hour? In Bogota, Colombia, rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic (source 3).
Reducing the usage of cars in any community would result in many great things. The community would be able to flourish, there would be less pollution, and people would be living better, happier lifestyles.

[/INST] For quite some time, there's been deep controversies over automobiles and increased carbon emissions poisoning cities worldwide. China, one the most densely populated cities in the world, is also the most polluted with millions of cars on the roads each and every, releasing toxic gases into the city's atmosphere, and creating a ginormous smog. Even in Paris, there were laws that prohibited drivers with even and odd license plates from driving on certain days, due to the increase in pollutants in the city's air. There are many things that can be done to prevent our cities and capitals from becoming toxic danger zones, but all of them need a little initiative to get started.
As said before, Paris once put a ban on motorists with certain plate numbers from driving on specific days. On the Monday the act started, motorists with even plate numbers had to leave their cars at home, or face a 22-euro¹ fine. As many as 4,000 drivers had been fined, accoring to
Reuters , an international news agency based in London, and 27% of those who were fined had their vehicles impounded due to their reaction from said fine. Traffic on Paris streets had decreased by a total of 60%, significantly easing the flow of transportation and lowering the amount of harmful emissions exhausted into the air. This was enough for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd numbered plates the following Tuesday.
Three years ago, in Bogota, Colombia, a program had been enacted that has spread to other surrounding countries and cities today known as, the Day Without Cars. On that day, only buses and taxis would be permitted on the roads, allowing the streets of the capital city of 7 million to be devoid of any chaotic congestion, clearing most of the roads. The goal of the program was to enbale and promote the use of alternative transportation and reduce smog. Any violators were charged with a $25 fine. Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses, all for the sake of improving the region and getting rid of nasty smog clouds. Even though grey clouds overhead had poured rain on Bogota occasionally, the turnout incredibly immense. "The rain hasn't stopped people from participating," said Antanas Mockus, mayor of Bogota. Other cities such as Cali and Valledupar, also joined in on the fun. Parks and rec centers emerged throughout the city, shattered and askew sidewalks were transformed into smoother and broader sidewalks, and new restaurants and upscal shopping districts have popped up as well. "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders," says Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asunción, Paraguay.
So whether it be passing laws on driving cars, pooling in with friends, or just simply taking the bus, there's always something that can be done to limit the usage of cars in today's societies. Alternative transportation may not be as ideal or convenient as taking the family Mustang to work, but it's all for the hope of an easier travel to our workplace and having cleaner air to breathe during the day, and not choking on toxic clouds of death. With the combined efforts of all of us, the adavntages of limited car use are extensive as they are beneficial.

[/INST] With all this talk about greenhouse gasses, you think to yourself "What can i do to change all of this?". It's not as hard as you think. Some cities in foreign countries and this one are actually giving up their licence short term or long term so that the can walk, bike, carpool, or take public transportation rather than taking their own car. This is a great thing, especially with global warming and such. Some advantages of limiting car usage can be: a less stressful and safe life, a reduction in harmful gasses, and a healthier lifestyle.
When you walk around your town depending on the size of it you see a lot of cars. You have to walk around on the sidewalks and worry about the fact that a small mistake by a driver can end your life. But in a city that has no cars driving around, you don't have to worry about that at all. You can not worry about how much the gas prices are because you may be car pooling or taking the bus. In " In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, she asked a citizen on what she thought of the no car law, she said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." line 3, she saw how having no fastmoving hunks of metal can be a very stresses situation. A community that doesn't have this stress can worry about other things now.
It's often talked about in the news. Greenhouse gasses. Global warming. We hear about all the time and how it's affected by emissions of cars. How could we avoid it? Simple, we stop driving around so much. Cars in Europe are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and we in the United States make up 50 percent of it Elisabeth Rosenthal, line 5. It's especially bad in Paris, where the gasses are so bad that there was 5 days of smog, only rivaled by Beijing, China the most polluted city in the world Robert Duffer, line 14, which it's so bad in Beijing the citizens of the city have to wear masks covering their noses and mouths to protect themselves from the harmful gasses. It's horrible that people have to live in such horrible conditions.
If you gave up driving to everywhere you go, you wouldn't just help the world with greenhouse gasses, you'd also be helping yourself. People nowadays sit at home watching TV and snacking. But do you know how much walking and biking could do to help the health of people. This would be the case if there was a limitation on driving cars. Getting exersize is also a great stressreliever. Also it helps with the nasty smog that's been mentioned. People wouldn't be breathing in harmful gasses if there was a limitation or ban to car usage in most contries. Air pollution effects all of us as human beings.
Most of us can't think of a society without cars, but it's very possible. We can, however, make a society exactly like that to some extent. Running around screaming about global warming won't do much unless you take action. Not only will it help the Earth to have better air, it can help lead a more stressfree, safe life and a healthier one that'll only need you to walk or bike to some places.

[/INST] The advantages of limiting car usage result in a healthier environment for you and your children, exercise by walking or riding a bike, and saving money on parking and gas.
Limiting car usage would be beneficial for the environment because the gas wouldn't polute the air. Green house gas emissions from tailpipes polute the air that everyone is breathing. If the car usage was limited, then the air would start to become fresh again. Stated in the passage, "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 exerpt from the passage "Car-Free Cities" explains that Europe's percentage is too high and they need to drop it fast or the percentage will grow and the greenhouse gas emissions will increase.
Limiting car usage isn't a big move like most people are making it out to be. Walking to pick up your child from school isn't such a bad thing! It gives you bonding time to spend with them outdoors. You can walk or ride a bike to the park to play. Especially if it is less than 1 mile! Walking is a great way to exercise and its free! FREE! This component of "smart planning" could work if eveyone helped by reducing car use.
Having a car is expensive! You have to pay for gas, which is expensive, and you have to pay to park your car! If you live in the area where you want to go, walk! But if you're going to the grocery store, obviously you would take your car if you're getting a lot at the store. You have to pay to park in the parking garage and that is $40,000 with a house. The passage "Car-Free Cities," states that "70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% sold a car to move here." In that town, everything is pretty close to each other so you don't have to drive anywhere. If you needed to go visit a family member in a different city, the the train! It's fun, free, and calming.
As you can see, you don't need to drive a car. Yes, you can drive a car, but why would you? You have buses, and trains, and other ways of transportation. This way, you don't have to pay for gas to go to the park. Not using your car is healthy for the environment and it's great exercise. It's a good way to get outdoors and have a nice walk. So please, just try using your car a little bit less everyday and soon enough, you will rarely use it, the air will be fresh, and you'll be taking some nice strolls in the park with your family.

Less smog would be intensifying in other countries. more people would be released from the stress of owning a car people wouldnt have to worry about gas prices. The rate of car accidents would go down and so would the percentage of deaths caused by car accidents. more money would be saved since less people wont have to worry about spending any money repairing their vehicles or tuning them up.
Crime rates would decrease since less ppl would be able to commit crimes without a car,and no one could have their car stolen from them. Teen deaths caused by drunk driving would decrease as well. The cost of emissions would go down imensly and the U.S would gain alot more money because of less money spent on vehicles and and imports and gas,oil,tires and other vehicle related cost expenses. Limiting car usage is one of the best possible thing U.S American citizens can do to help preserve our earth and its enviorment.
It is best if everyone start to limit their car usage so that our planet can be less polluted and can be smog free. Cars are one of the biggest reasons for air pollution and we spend alot of money and them aswell. So i believe car usage should be limited for the greater good of our earth.

Driveways, home garages, and street parking and forbidden in the experiment of the outskirts on the nee district. In a place called Vauban's streets are completly "Car-free". The only places that are not car free are downtown near the tram. You can only have two places to park and those two places are home, and large garages only at the edge of the developement it costs $40,000. Fifty-seven percent sold a car to move here, and seventy percent of families do not own a car. They say "When I had a car i was always tense. Immuch happier this way". Suburbs have linchpin called automobiles. Up to fifty percent in some car- intensive areas in the U.S.. and up to twelve percent of green house gas emissions in Europe. A home to 5,500 residents withing a rectangular square mile, it may be the most advanced experiment in a low-car suburban life. They say " All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change". A fast-growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the U.S. are promoting new communities that are less dependent on cars. The EPA is promoting a "car reduced" communities, and legislatrors are acting cautiously.
Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, after days of near-record pollution. Odd and even numbered plates were threatened to keep there cars home or forced to lay of fine of $31. Just about 4,000 drivers were fined. Sixety percent of congestion was down. China is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Taax policy favors Diesels over gasoline. Sixty-seven percent of diesels make up vehiclals, compared to 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in Wetern Europe. There is typically more smog in Paris. There were one hundred and forty seven micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter, and this is compared to one hundred and fourteen and 79.7 reuters found. According the the BBC, public transit was free of charge from friday to monday. The smog had cleared enought monday for the ruling french party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
Millions of Colonbians hiked, skated, biked, or took busses to work during a car free day yesterday. Cars have been banned for 3 years now in colombia, there are only taxis, and busses left there a seven million people in that city. The goal was to promote alternitive transportation and reduce smog, violatoors faced a tenty five dollar fine. They said "The rain hasnt stopped people from participating". "It;s a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". Cali and Valledupar, had joined the event. "These people are generating a revolutionary change". It has been seen to see one hundred and eighteen miles of bicycle paths. New restaurants and upscale shopping districts have ctopped up. Parks ans sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city. Rush hour restrictions have dramaticlly cut traffice. Uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks.
This is what i think should happen with out society. Car-free days would be a new thing for everyone. We have some pretty l;azy people in the world.

[/INST] Ever since cars were invented, they have widely been used as the primary source of transportation. They became so commonplace that their widespread use started to introduce negative impacts. As a result, some countries, or cities, have recently put in place programs or events to limit, or decrease, the amount of car usage in that area. There are many advantages to limiting car usage, including that not using cars is better for the environment and that it allows the city to improve itself.
In recent years, the environment has become a worldwide concern one of the advantages to limiting car usage is that it will positively impact the environment. Today, people all over the world are paying attention to what they can do to help the environment, meaning that this is an advantage that will appeal to a widespread audience. One way that limiting car usage will help is that it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Elisabeth Rosenthal's essay "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", she writes, "Passenger cars are responsible for 2 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some carintensive areas in the United States". By limiting the usage of cars, the amount of greenhouse gases being emitted into the world would decrease substantially. While the idea that everyone would stop using their cars and the gas emissions caused by them would disappear completely is unrealistic, the prospect that a majority of the emissions could do so is perfectly reasonable. The reduction of these emissions would mean that the air quality would increase and be overall healthier for both all the world's population and all the wildlife across the world. Robert Duffer provides another example of how less car usage would impact the environment in his essay, "Paris bans driving due to smog". According to the article, an intense smog had covered Paris for five days, when the city decided to ban car usage over the course of two days. The cause for the smog was thought to be the high use of diesel fuel in France, with 67 percent of cars using it over gasoline, about 14 percent higher than the rest of Western Europe. The plan for the ban had been that cars with evennumbered license plates to not be used the first day and for ones with oddnumbered license plates not to be used the next day. In actuality, cars with oddnumbered plates were never banned from driving since the smog had cleared just after the first day. This shows the impact of limiting car usage. In just one day, a smog that was comarable to the one in Beijing, China, one of the most polluted cities in the world, was removed considerably after just half the normal amount of cars were used over the course of a day. If this was used all over the world, the result would be even more significant. This evidence supports that limiting car use is good for the environment in more ways than one.
Additionally, the limited use of cars opens many opportunities for cities to improve themselves by adding new features or improving upon old ones. In the article "Carfree day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky, the changes that the Columbian city of Bogota has gone through in response to less car use are discussed. The changes are a direct result of the city's Day Without Cars campaign, where car use is banned for the whole city for one day out of a year. It reads, "It has seen the construction of 118 mile of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to Mockus, the city's mayor. Parks and sports centers have also bloomed throughout the cityuneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks rushhour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up". These additions are in response to the city's inhabitants using alternative transport. Since cars could not be used, the public had to get to where they were heading by other means. Bogota was able to use the situation to improve itself by either fixing things already in place or adding new ones competely. Another way that a city improved itself as a result of limited car use is shown by Elisabeth Rosenthal in her essay "In German Suburn Life Goes On Without Cars". She writes, "While there have been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking, planners are now taking the concept to the suburbs". One of the results of applying this idea to suburbs is that stores are placed within walking distance of houses rather than in a mall next to a highway. Vauban, the city where the changes took place, is taking advantage of the opportunities to open new stores. This change would not only create more business for the strore itself but improve the economy of the city by increasing spending. The overall impact that limiting car use has had on citites is that it provides opportunity for the city to improve itself.
There are many advantages to limiting car use. Not only does it improve the environment by removing smog and reducing greenhouse gas emission, but it also allows the area to improve itself by building new features. For this reason, limited car use should be seen as an overall positive idea.

[/INST] Can you imagine living in a place where there is no driving? It is an amazing thing to think if every person doesn't drive in one big city that it saves so much pollution going in to the air. Another thing to think about is if everyone in a city didn't drive and walked everywhere, more people would stay healthier by staying in shape. Some people think that owning a car is more stressful than just walking everywhere. If you don't own a car you don't have to pay for insurance, don't have to pay for gas, and don't have to pay for repairs when something goes wrong in a vehicle. To me it sounds like there is a lot of advantages in limiting car use.
One solid reason why not using cars as much is the pollution going in the air. In Paris, France motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at their house or else they would be fined. The next day odd numbered license plates motorists had to leave their vehicles at home. It was a hardship at first to get people to follow these new rules, but after about five days everything started to cool down. The pollution had dropped 60 percent in Paris which is exactly what the city was looking for. Limiting the car usage didn't just save pollution from going in the air, but also there wasn't as much traffic as there usually was. It also made Paris a safer place to be outside and not damage the citizens lungs. The capital city of France also made transportation free MondayFriday to help the cause. Soon enough people that had both license plates could drive on the same day.
In Bogota, Colombia they do a car free day that is becoming popular in that part of the world. It is awesome to think there are 7 million people in that city and none of them are using a car. People that violated this goal on this day were charged a 25 fine. People from other countries came to see how this day worked and they loved it. The mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay said "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders." You can just imagine all the benefits of everyone not using a car in a city for a whole day. Restaurants and parks would be visited and used more and everyone would be getting more exercise. All in all this idea was genius.
As you can see limiting car usage can help out the area big time that it is taking place. It is better breathing air, businesses like restaurants and parks would be used more and grow steadily, and the city would be taken care of better.

[/INST] In our world today many people use motor vehicles to get to their destination. We dont walk anymore we just get in our cars and go. What most people dont see is how it can cause damage to the people and the environment. Cars can be used for good and bad situations in our economy. Their are many advantages and disadvantages to limiting vehicle usage.
Limiting car usage could benefit people in many ways. The Vauban suburban community lives without their cars and only use them when necessary or if they have the permit to use them. A mother, Heidrun Walter says, "When i had a car i was allways tense. I'm muchhappier this way." she was happy with the way her life was going without a vehicle it wasnt as stressful to her. In "German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", it says "Having less vehicles made the suburbs more accessible to public transportation" this makes everything they build walking distance and everything is closer together, they dont have to use major highways so they can get to a store. It also says, "many suburbs are starting to resemble Vauban, closer together and have less car owners in the developing world" this kind of example is leading the world to use less vehicles which would mean less pollution. Another advantage of limiting car usage would be more people are getting together and having more social interactions. In the exerpt from "Paris bans driving due to smog" it says, "The congestion was down 60 percent in the capitol of France." this means the roads weren't as backed up and busy. Their is beginning to be a change in the world as less people use their automotive. When Bogota, Columbia did the Day Without Cars the people would walk where they need to get or rode their bicycle. Carlos Arturo Plaza rode his bicycle and said "Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." people like being able to help their economy. In "The End of Car Culture" it says, "it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions" which means the economy will be in a better place.
Their is also disadvantages of why limiting car usage could be bad for the world. If they're not able to use their car to get to their job or get grocerys how can people be okay? They are getting fined to do what is need for them to survive. "Delivery companies complained of lost revenue" it says in "Paris bans driving in the smog". Delivery trucks cant do their job if they know they will be fined for being out on the roads without it being their designated day. "American's are buying less cars and young adults arent getting their liscense as quick" says, "the End of Car Culture". Which means more vehicle industrys are getting less buyers and are having to come up with a "broader product".
Clearly the world is better off with limited car uasge. It's better for the economy, better for the people, and the environment. They're are more resources for agood reason to cut down on our worlds car usage but their is also the few disadvantages as to why it could be bad.

[/INST] Limiting car usage has so many benefits to give us. It can even lead to saving the world. We've lived without them before so it's not the end of the world if they are gone for even just a day.
First of all, cars are responsible for pollution(not all) in the atmosphere such as the greenhouse gas emissions. According to Source 1, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes....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. That is basically saying that having cars as often as we use them is harming the earth through their gas emissions. That cars are responsible for a certain percantage in the pollution.
Additionally, let us see about the few polluted cities or capitals such as Paris. They almost achieved a new record for pollutution! But the way they are handling it is quite successful. "On Monday motorists with even-numbered licese plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffere a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." (Source 2)This gives them a chance to reduce significantly the pollution by half if the license plates ratio were balanced. They are taking turns in car usage and lowering pollution and it's a great bill or law to help reduce the pollution. They needed that because according to Source 2, last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter comared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found. That's a lot of pollution they have been carrying. But " The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."
Furthermore, there's more beneifts of reducing or limiting car usage. In BOGATA, Colombia, they have a Day Without Cars and it's starting to spread to other communities as well. They want to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog and those that violates will face $25 fines. This sounds like a very great and effective idea. Many people are participating in it and not only that "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout 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."(Source 3)
In conclusion, limiting car usage will give us a greater advantage not only in our businesses but also our air. Reducing pollution is just the start of it, imagine many more benefits are there to come if we keep up with these conservative efforts.

[/INST] Have you ever thought about what the world would do without automobiles. I have and it isn't pretty. Paris has enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Now, chew on that! I mean if you think about all the gas stations, and all the space that automobiles take up, it really wouldn't be a bad idea in banning cars in like city and small towns. If you were to drive 20 miles in 8 minutes, How fast do you think you would get to that destination if you were to walk that 20 miles. Some situations just isn't fair, Like motorists with evennumbered license plates would have to leave their car at their home, or suffer a 31 fine. One of the most populated city in the world has gone down to 60% of their population in about five days of intensifying smog. If you were to get rid of all these cars, Who would be getting up every morning just to go to school or even their jobs?
I've thought about lot of things in my life, But never across the fact of get rid of cars. The advantages of limiting automobiles are high, just for the fact of smog problems, or even damaging the air that we breath. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicle in France, compared to 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters.Duffer,16 Pow!
You just ran into a car trying to park the long bed V8 44 Nissian Titan at gatorbait in Melrose FL. All that money that you payed to get the stupid truck, and now you dented the front bumper. That will be 12,000 for the truck, with another 2,000 to fix the front bumper. How can save money, but also get rid of all this crammed space. I will have to say that we need to get rid of all these cars and just leave them at the house.
I don't know what will happen to automobile shops, but it isn't about the lousy shops! It's about our freedom to do what we please, and if that means that automobiles are in the way, remove them. We, the people, need to make more compact, accessible places where it will be with less space to park. I have an idea, let's forbidden street parking, Driveways, home garages, and generally anything that can be used to park or put a car in. Until that happens it is just a dream, that hundreds would love to become reality. Fellow citizens should also make only 2 places avaliable to park, and that would be parking garages or you have to pay 40 and buy a house if you break a rule to drive your car to a place.
It just dosen't make sense to keep something that is causing us so much greaf. Did you know that passanger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe,While up to 50% in the U.S is car intensive areas. Life as we know still goes on like nothing has every really bothered us like the Automobiles do. "Our Development since World War 2 has been centered around the car, now that has go to change." Said David Goldberg, an official of Transportation for America. They are promoting new communities that would be less dependent on cars. I believe that we finish this car problems, We can focus on more important things such as life, family, and Money.
As I write, People are out in the real world making cars for humans like me and you. If we can't put a stop to having all these new vehicles, than it truly will say something about us and who we are as a community. Yes, I agree with having vehicles to drive from point A to B, But that dosen't mean that I don't want change that will help us with money issues. Automobiles are a waste of space, and can hurt by putting all this money that we're just throwing away like we are the richest country in the World. But, we are not.

[/INST] Cars, have been a way that almost everyone uses to get to point A to point B since around World War 2, And for awhile they were always growing in popularity. It seemed for awhile that cars were going to be around for some time. Almost everyone had a car, from the young to the old, all over the world people were driving. But that's going to change soon in the always evolving world.
"All of our developement since World War 2 has been centered on the car, and that will have to change," says David Golderg, an offical of Transportation for America. In the suburban community of Vauban, Germany residents are giving up their cars in an attempt to promote car-free communities. As a result 70 percent of Vauban's families don't own a car! The members of the outstanding community actually like not having a car, Media trainer Heidrun Walter said "When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Heidrun Walter isn't the only one thinking this way 57 percent of the population of Vauban sold their car to move there. But Vauban isn't the only community who thinks this way... All over the world more and more commmunities are thinking this way.
Paris, France, puts a ban of driving due to smog pollution due to the main usuage of diesel fuel. Paris usually has more smog than other European capitals as it is with it having cold nights and warm days trapping car emissions. The smog, which was progressivly getting worse, rivaled even that of Bejing, China, which is the one of the most polluted places in the entire world. The ban took place on a Monday for even-numbered liscened plates and Tuesday for odd-numbered liscened plate numbers. But even with the ban almost 4,000 people were fined a fee of 22 euros ($31). The smog cleared eough with those who did participate that they didn't have to enforce the Tuesday ban, which goes to show that even a large city can fight something as global as pollution.
The people of Bogota, Cali, and Valledupar, Colombia take a day out of the year to have a car-free event. Bogota, the capital of Colombia, with a population of 7 million have been doing this for 3 years to promote alternate transportation and reduce smog. The violators of this event face a $25 fine, and probably more than a few disapproving looks for those who like to participate. People around the world go to join Colombian cities in their day without cars. This is Cali and Valledupar's first year and hopefully not their last either! The day without cars is part of a improvement campaign started in Bogota in the mid 90s, which saw the construction of over 100 miles of bicycle paths, according to the city's mayor this is the most of any Latin American city. To encourage people to walk around more they fixed the uneven, pit filled side walks with bigger smooth version, and rush hour restrictions have been imposed which has dramatically decreased traffic, plus new upscale resturants and shopping districts have popped up.
In the United States studies are showing that more and more Americans are buying cars. Young people are becoming less interested in having a car or even a liscence. In the year 2005 the number of miles driven was at its highest but since then it has steadly decreased by 9 percent. The number of miles driven now is equal to that of january in 1995. Part of the drop is due to the recession going on, no one can afford to get new cars, and the unemployed don't work so they don't have as much as a reason to get a car. If the pattern keeps going as it is with less and less people driving the next few years in America and possibly around the world will be years of change that will change how things work for generation to come.

[/INST] The limiting of car use can help with many things in our environment and society today. One reason it could help is all of the gasses gathering up in the atmosphere and damaging crop and other vegettation. Another reason is giving teens less stress to overcome with all the school work and testing they have to do. The last reason is less death in the United States and less money spent on car crashes every year possibly pulling us out of debt. Limiting car usage could possibly save America from drowing in debt.
Gasses gathering in the atomosphere are killing plants and possibly animals on our planet. The toxic fumes our cars release are killing vegetation and harming crops we need to eat and survive. Most animals need the plants to eat and care for young, but we're killing those plants leaving the animals to starve killing them off one by one. The Earth is made with specific gasses in the atmosphere to help protect us from the harmful rays of the Sun. Without those gasses we would be nothing but a lifeless desert.
Limiting car usage can help save teens from the stresses of everyday life without the worry of learning how to drive. Teens today are so excitied to drive but none of them want to take the time to learn the rules of driving before getting behind the wheel. This causes us stress. Us teens have too much school work and tests to worry about learning how not to take drugs and drink alcohol behind the wheel. Driving also causes us stress on the road as well. If we limited car usage we wouldnt have to worry about car crashes or accidents if there were no cars. Sure we wouldnt have any fast transportation but thats what bikes, trains, and planes are for.
America is in debt. Thats a fact. Most of Americas debt comes from car related accidents every year. Billions of dollars are spent each year replacing, repairing, and financially supporting those involved in crashes. Without cars, people wouldnt have to worry about if America is going to fall due to the government taxing. America can survive without cars. America can be safe and non-costly without cars. Limiting the usgae of cars can help America live safer happier lives.
Limiting cars in America would help in many ways as i proved to you in my following paragraphs. Gasses can be preserved where they belong. Stress can be relieved in teens and adults. Debt can be relieved and save us. Limiting car usage can help in those ways. It can also help in other ways as well. But, you and the government have to make those decisions for each other. Limit car usage in America.

Passenger cars are reponsilbe for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Ani increasing number of private cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities. Many expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role. the previous bill, 80% of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20% percent to other transport.
Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, On monday even-numbered liscense plates were ordered to leave their cars at home. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined and not only that but 27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine. There was a warm layer of air to trap car emissions. Diesel fuel was to blamed, Paris had more smog than other European capitals. Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday. Smog cleared enough to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
BOGOTA the city had a car-free day, for hiked, biked, skated or took the bus to work. The goal of this was to promote alternative transportaion and reduce smog. "This is a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" says a businessman riding on a two-seat bicycle with his wife. Two other cities Cali and Valledupar joined the event. Parks and sports has bloomed throughout the city and districts have crop up.

[/INST] Limiting car usage could greatly benefit the lifestyle of yourself and of those around you. Did you know that motor vehicles are one of the biggest causes of pollution and greenhouse emissions? According to a source by Elisabeth Rosenthal, "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." If cars were completely eliminated for a week in an area like New York City, then pollution would be greatly lessened. It would be a good idea to try to take public transportation as often as possible, as opposed to driving to work every day.
Another good reason to limit car usage is to bring together community. There is a city in Germany by the name of Vauban (according to a source by Elisabeth Rosenthal,) which completely bans driving cars. Inhabitants of this community walk or bike everywhere, which is also a good form of exercise that one could do in order to stay fit. The city was designed with walking in mind, and everything is close by as a result. If we were to have more of these communities, then green house emissions could be greatly lowered.
One major reason not to drive a car is that cars are often very expensive. If you live in an area where public transportation is an option, it may be worth it to not buy a car. You'd both help the environment and save a lot of money at the same time! If you're in a city or an area where many things are within walking distance, then you may also notice that there is a lot that you can do, such as walk to a mall or walk to a park, and you would not be harming the environment in any way.
Pollution is one major factor that should be touched upon more than once. According to a source named
Paris bans driving due to smog by Robert Duffer, "after days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." Because of the large amount of people constantly driving, it caused the city to become so polluted that they had to ban people's ability to drive. If people carpooled more, or took more public transportation, then this wouldn't have happened. Some delivery companies even complained of "lost revenue."
Lastly, it is a good idea not to drive because of the quickly repleting fuel supply remaining on our planet. Sooner or later, we will run out of gasses to fuel our vehicles with, and we won't have a backup plan. Some areas won't even be remotely affected by this, and people have already created hybrid and electrically powered vehicles. Perhaps if you were to bike more and get used to the idea of not driving, then you will be ready for the inevitable to occur. Although you don't have to cut cars out of your life completely, it's a good idea to start relying more on things that won't run out.
Overall, driving is fun and gets you to far places in much shorter times than it would take you if you walked there. However, there are many dangers and negative effects that come from driving. To recap, the green house gasses that come from cars are dangerous and harmful to our planet, and there should be efforts to lessen these gasses, even it is simply by car pooling or by taking public transportation. Also, people's excessive driving caused an entire city to have to ban driving vehicles. This should probably be a lessen to those that drive a good deal; it's killing the environment!

[/INST] Driving cars may seem like the best way to get from point A to point B, and in many ways, it is. Cars are fast, they are comfortable, and they can fit multiple people. The auto industry is big because of these factors. Though studies show that cars, may not be the best option for the environment and therefore, ourselves.
There is a city in Germany, Vauban. This city is almost completely devoid of cars. How do they do it? Well most of them ride bikes, or simply walk. If there is a distance to far for biking or walking, there is also a tram that runs through the city. The people who live in this city seem to be incredibly happy "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier now" Source 1 says Heidrum Walter, citizen of Vauban. This trend of separation from automobiles is happening not only in europe, but everywhere in the world. The EPA is advocating "car reduced communities" in the United States. The world is changing "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change" Source 1 The benefit of going carfree, goes beyond making people happier, it might even save the human race. Global warming is a major problem. Though an even bigger problem, is that most people in the US do not believe that global warming even exists. One way that scientists know that global warming is happening, is by looking in the ice of the artic. By drilling deep holes in the artic, scientists can extract tubes of ice millions of years old. Just how you can tell how old a tree is by counting its rings, you can tell how old ice is by doing the same thing. When scientists tested the amount of Co2 in a sample of ice that was formed 50 years after the industrial revolution, then compared it to the level of Co2 in a tube of ice 50 years before the industrial revolution. They saw a remarkable increase in Co2 levels after the industrial revolution. Many people do not know, but mercury looked a lot like earth a billion or so years ago. Now mercury is a desolated wasteland, thanks to the amount of volcanos spewing Co2 into the atmosphere. A similar phenomena is happening all over the world in places like Paris and China. Paris' pollution was so bad, that they had to ban driving for a couple days "On Monday motorists with evennumbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22euro fine" Source 2 In Bagota, Columbia, people take part in a carfree day in order to reduce smog. "Millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a carfree day yesterday" Source 3 This is another example of people taking the initiative to give up cars, even if its only for one day.
People are finally staring to realize that cars cause pollution to the Earth. Even the president is backing the cause, which honestly might be why more people have not accepted global warming as a fact. The level of driving has decreased over the years "As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995" Source 4 It is fantastic to know that people are finally embracing science as something to learn from, and not something to fear. What we all need to realize is that, our planet will live on millions of years after we are gone. We are not saving our planet by preventing global warming, we are saving ourselves.

[/INST] Have you ever woken up one day and thought what life would be like without cars. Can there be advantages to limiting car usage? There have been people studying this and wondered what life would be without cars or trucks. In Paris they enforced a law that stated on monday motorists with even-numbered liscense plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or pay a 22-euro fine. The same rule would apply for even numbered liscense plates the next day. The reason that Paris did this was because they had days of near-record pollution, and banned cars to help "clear the air" of the global city.
Would limiting car usage for america be an advantage? No it wouldnt, you know why. The reason being is because there are alot more americans not making money or not trying to make money, Americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployed weren't going to work anyway. As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. Whether if thats because of americans not making enough income to purchase new cars or teens and adults prefering to take the tram or a bus as said by Mr. Sivak whose son lives in San Francisco and has his own car but takes the Area Rapid Transit, when he can, even though it takes longer than driving.
Limiting car usage is also starting to become an advantage in other countries as well. In Bogota, Colombia they had a day without cars, and people hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work. Like in Paris they're goal was to reduce smog, and if they violated the rules they were fined a whopping $25. A businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said,"It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."Also parks and sports centers have bloomed throughout the city;uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks.
When its all said and done research shows that there are advantages to limiting car usage. Some countries are taking the extra step to try and solve the problems of pollution in they're country. Paris for example are giving people that are out driving on monday with odd number liscense plates a 22-euro fine, and the same goes for even on the next day to help with they're problems with smog. Even in america teens and adults would rather take the tram or the bus, being able to drive isnt a priority to some people in america. In Colombia they have a day without cars and they're goal as well is to reduce smog and pollution in they're country, and giving $25 fines to those who don't follow the rules. So overall it would be an advantage to limit car usage.

[/INST] Elisabeth Rosenthal once asked, "Has America passed peak driving?", (30) having people go out of their way to think about the inquirable question. There are plenty of advantages of limiting car usage. America, nor any other country on this planet, really need cars. Sure, cars help us to get to a location faster than walking or biking. But it also smogs up the environment we live in and creates a stressful tension within you.
In Source 2, Paris, one of the world's most famous sightseeing locations on this planet, was days of near-record pollution. Paris strictly enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. (10) For almost a week, there was an intensified amount of smog roaming the streets of Paris. Congestion was down 60% in the capital of France. (14) This smog was causing frigid nights and warm days the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. (15) Not only was there smog in Paris, but also rivaled one of the most polluted cities in the world, Beijing, China. Paris decided to particially cut down motorists chances of driving and leave their cars at home or would have had to suffer a fine. This well-known city was car-free for almost an entire week.
In line with Source 2, Source 3 explains multiple ways of transportation. Why drive cars and pollute the air, if there are plenty of other ways to getting to your destination. Bogota, Colombia has set up a program that is set to spread to other countries. This program consist of having a car-free day once a year for the last 3 years, Day Without Cars day. More than 6 million of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses and taxis to work, Bogota's streets were traffic-jam-free.(20) "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said Carlos Arturo Plaza, a businessman. (24) No stress was within the city of Bogota that day. Their goal is to promote better transportation and reduce smog. (21)
Enrique Riera, the mayor of Asunción, Paraguay, noticed the enthusiastic changes being made and said, "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders." (26) Fellow citizens, their are several advantages of limiting car usage. Maybe the next time you think about going somwhere, try taking a bike or walking. It's easier and reliefs stress among yourself. Plus, when not driving a car, you're able to decrease the amount of pollution being put into the air.

[/INST] I belive the advantages of limitng a car usage. The first reason I say that because we have most of the people who are not driving with the right responsible license. Also we have some who are getting in severe car accidents. With that being said there are pollution in the air. License plates where odd numbers. The avantages of limiting a car you dont have to pay for any car ticket or parking garage fees.
As a result half of the families don't own cars about 50% of them sold there cars. It somehow made them feel a whole lot better. When you have to think about it your car is an example of a baby. You have to feed you car gas. Which why some people perfer cathcing the train. Or even riding the bus or even there bicycles to where they have to be. There always a smarter way to saving gasoline and burning gas.
In Vauban you have there reseidents walking. Even we we people taking the suburbs, as a public transportation with less space for parking as if your where driving your car. They are increasing numbers are pravite car owned by burgeoning middle class cities to help out in another way of transportation. Most of the public transport serving surburbs play a much larger role. Even number license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home for odd- number plates.
Drivers were fine according to Reuters. 27% of peole impounded for their reaction to fine. Beijing,China known as the most polluted cities in the world. Freezing nights caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. The gas was blamed since France ha sa tax policy that has favors diesel engines In my own way there are alot of advantgaes of limiting car. But as of some people its a hard way.

[/INST] Ever wondered how the streets of a very popullated city would look like? For example, Miami. At night Miami is full buildings that stand out in color, and on the highways you can see a whole road full of lights, the thing with these lights is that they are cars, even though they are helpful by getting us from point A to point B, they are the second highest source of pollution in the United States, that is after power plants. The only thing a city like Miami is missing at night is a sky full of bright stars, which that can be done by people not driving to everywhere they go, even if it is one or two blocks away. This whole "car-free" thing is become more and more popular all over the world.
In Vauban, Germany a small town, home to 5,500 people have decided to go car-free. "As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here" (Source 1). 70 percent of the the people is a lot, these streets are completly car-free except in the main thoroughfare and on the edge of the community, if this were to happen to a larger city the nights would be beatiful, and so will the days because you have all the car noise out and instead you have people talking and kids running all around the streets. "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" (Souce 1). Miami is a car-intensive area, I know this from personal experince, there is always traffic during the day. I've been to other places in Florida, not that far from Miami, in Palm Beach at night the amount of starts you see at nights is beautiful and it's something new to see other than in Miami you see 2 to 3 stars. My point here isn't stars, it's how much better the world can be if we all do what this small town in Germany is doing.
Paris, France. The city of lights home to millions of residents and a landmark for millions of tourists, one would think this city couldn't run without cars, but they made it happen. Paris wanted to clean all the air polution in their city, "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)" (Source 2). Even though some didn't listen and about 4,000 drivers were fined, that is still very little compared to the entire population of Paris. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog" (Source 2). Can you believe that? Traffic was down by 60 perfect in the city of lights, if it can happen there it can happen all around the world, little by little bu we'll get it. Public transportation was free of charge in the city while this car-free thing was going on. One week later the smog had cleared out enough for the ruiling French party to rescind the ban.
"BOGOTA, Colombia - In a program that's set to spread to other countries, 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" (Source 3). Yes, the city of Bogota in Colombia had its one car-free day, in Bogota called "Day Without Cars", this was the third year actually, on this "car-free" day cars are banned and only buses and taxis are permitted for the day. Bogota was not the only Colombian city to participate in this event, other Colombian cities like Cali and Valledupr, participated in this event for the first time. I find it funny and ironic because my sister has a friend who is Colombian and she owns a bicycle and she goes everywhere in that bicycle, and she refuses to get a car. Bogota is a very known city and just like I said before, if they can do it then the whole world can it. This day should be world wide and should be done at leats twice a year. Events like this will also get people motivated to start walking morre often. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restuarants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up" (Source 3). If you've ever been to Miami, you know the huge amount of building there are here and I think there are about 3 or 4 being built at I type, how about we stop there and make Miami and healthier and more environmentally friendly place.
In the United States, research shows "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009" (Source 4). This meaning that adolescents aren't as intresting and driving as they were before, yeah I see how driving can be better but most kids here take the bus, they aren't even driven by their parents anymore. I find that this is a good thing because, one can ask themselves, I can't make a difference, but if thousands of people ask themselves that, then yes a difference can be made. In 2005 the miles driven by Americans peaked, and then steadily went dropping, in April, 2013 they found out that the miles in car was the same as it was in 1995. Not driving everywhere you go and actually walking there is a good thing because you can make new friends, and health wise it is also good because, instead of walking around your block for an hour, you can walk to someones house or to the store. There are several carpooling apps on the internet nowadays, if your friends can't pick you up, for just a push of a button you can have someone come pick you up to where ever you are and drop you off where you need to go to, for a low price. "Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by" (Source 4). This means that people aren't as interest in driving anymore, which means we are slowly getting near the time where we'll see more stars in the sky in car-intensive areas.

[/INST] Why would you want to limit car usage. When you use your car people are making money. People need a car to far away places fast. cars are expensive, thats because people keep adding on to it and making it more fancy and of corse its going to be more expencive.
If you limit cars most gas stations would be going out of bussniess and car places. gas stations buy the gas for cars to use yeah the gas is expensive but we need it and car dealerships would have so many cars they wouldnt know what to do with them cause no one would but them because there car would be limited to use so there car would be brand new. yes people are losseing alot of money from cars but its worth it cause we need to get places. if you make cars fancy yeah your going to have people to want to buy it but thats because you want them to buy it cars are killing the envirnment up though because the gas the people tearing into there grass people dont relize it but cars should just be used to get places and then stay there and then when there done go home. i mean if they can make a car that can scene if there drunk and wont start i would buy that car because it would tell you not to drive becaus eyou are drunk that will slove so many deaths and drunk driver accident problems. instead of making cars fast and look slicker and nicer and have the car talk to you with blootooth thats just dumb in my opion i wish they would just make cars more reasonable with things that really matter than just look nicer and more for rich people alot of people can afford cars so they should lower all prices and they would make more money becaus emore stuff will be sold like the drunk deceter car

[/INST] Cars have been by all means the number one way of transportation in the last decade and now people are starting to prefer walking or biking instead of driving everywhere. One of the reasons is pollution people all around the world are scared of the greenhouse effect but peole are moslty looking at the advantages in not driving If we dont drive the earth will be less polluted in the united states the number two cause in pollution is cars if we cut our driving in half we would be making our earth less polluted and more clean and also saving our ozone layer another reason that not driving isnt such a nad thing is you dont have to deal with the gas money everyone spends on there car well if you want to drive you have to put gas in it so it can go and sometimes the gas prices can be up there an if i gave my estimate i think people spend close 20,000 dollars in gas if your driving in your community of course im not talking about every person in the world just giving an estimate and that is alot of money if you save that much money in about 4 years you have your self a house or an apratment its a big difference spending all that money on gas then saving up for something you really want like a house apartment etc something else you dont have to deal with is the traffic that cars cause on the higway and sometimes in the community i know we all have been stuck in a horrible traffic jam and you cant do anything about it and we all think if only we could just walk ny everybody well the people that arnet driving and they are on the sidewalk yeah they can walk past it or they dont have to deal with the traffic jam another reason is a the accidents sometimes can be fatal to life and your checkbook and insurance now a days is through the roof another thing you have to worry about paying when your dealing with a car accidents take alot of lives every year i read a stat that every second there are three acidents i mean i dont know if its true but if it is that is flat out scary of course you never think it will happen to you but even the best drivers crash and when it does happen either your life is in danger or checkbook is thats another thing walkers and bikers dont have to worry about crashing and either being seriously injured or coughing thousnads of dollars of expensies or damages also have to worry about keeping your car in the shop every time you need an oil change or your tires are flat or transmisson isnt working right there can be a millon problems with your car and that all cost money waling to your destantion doesnt cost a cent and if your the person that likes to save every cent why throw it away when you throwing thousands and thousands of dollars every year on something youn quite francally dont need in your life if your destnation is to walk take the bus close enough so you can walk there that way you will be saving so much money that you'l be amazed at the end of the year when you have way more money than you had last year your going to look back and say wow i should never got a car so always keep in mind the next time you step in your car the worries you deal with every time you drive remember ypu have to fill up or your not going any where and always going to hurt your checkbook espiacally if your car gets 10 per a gallon another thing is the scare of the accident always looming in the dark you never know when you'll have but almost everyone is doomed to have one and those can be fatal to your body or checkbook and insureance for when it does happen is not pretty also those traffic jams are horrible and when you say aabout 50 peole all past you on the side walk and your stuck in that massive traffic jam you'll remeber this essay and say wow i should of been on that side walk and the last advantge you should know about is that while your not driving your not hurting everyones earth world air space etc your helping the earth get cleaner everytime you decide to walk instead pump up your gas tank and let off polluted gas off into the air and ulitamelty deplete the ozone i know that people will still be driving because again like i said its the number one way of transportation but the goal should be to atleast cut the driving rate in half that would help the earth in a major way and of course you would be alot richer by the end of the year so all that walking you did over the year you can rechoice over a nice vaction to the bahmamas or hawaii oe even buy yourself a nice house so you can see that dropping your car should of been a decison you did years ago and the earth will be a better place without your car driving around the streets so the next time your friend asks to come over just walk or the next time you need to just go get the groroices you can walk and one by one peole will stop driving and start helping making the earth a better cleaner safer place so you be the first one to drop driving and start walking and people will follow imsure of it and even if you have to explain the benfits so beit just know by doing those things you will acheive the goal of making the earth a better place without pollution and more ozone layer to protect from the dangerous uv light if you want a better future for your kid or grandchild its just not your earth your hurting its everybody else's including your loved ones all that money your spending buy your loved ones a gift.
