The problem of the increasing number of cars in cities has been worrying residents of different countries for several years now. In addition to the fact that own transport is the convenience and mobility of movement, it can also be one of the main factors affecting the destruction of the atmosphere. Thousands of people die every year on the roads as a result of accidents. World Car Free Day is held to promote walking as well as the possibility of using public transport.
history of the holidayWorld Car Free Day, celebrated on 22nd, is an international holiday that aims to find an alternative to the car, call for a retreat from over-automation and the protection of nature and human rights. Since 1973, this holiday has been spontaneously held in different countries. For the first time, the decision was made to stop cars for four days due to the fuel crisis. For several years, this holiday was celebrated in several other European countries. In 1994, a call was made in Spain to celebrate a car-free day every year. The tradition of celebrating September 22nd as a day without a car was founded in 1997 in England, when it was first decided to hold a nationwide action. A year later, in 1998, the action was held in France, about two dozen cities took part in it. By 2000, the tradition had already begun to take a more serious turn and be carried out around the world. 35 countries around the world have joined the maintenance of this custom.
Events and promotions for the holidayOn World Car Free Day, various events are held in many countries to inspire people to care for the environment and future generations. As a rule, they are associated with the refusal to use an individual car. On this day, public transport in many cities is free. For example, in Paris, the central part of the city is blocked, and everyone is offered free bike rides. There are also demonstration bike rides. The first bike demonstration was held back in 1992 in the United States. To date, the number of countries that hold such events has increased significantly.
In Russia, the action of World Car Free Day was first held in 2005 in Belgorod, and already in 2006 in Nizhny Novgorod. In 2008 the action was held in Moscow. Over the next few years, the following cities joined the celebration: Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Tver, Tambov, Kazan and several dozen others. In particular, the celebration is important in metropolitan areas. In Moscow, on September 22, tariffs for public transport are reduced.
On World Car Free Day, many residents of different cities leave their cars or motorcycles in garages and change to bicycles so that at least for one day the population of the whole city can enjoy the silence, the sounds of nature and clean air. 
This symbolic action is designed to draw the attention of millions to the situation in the world, and also makes you think about what irreparable damage a person causes. One day without a car can show everyone that even limited use of a car can greatly improve the overall situation, if everyone thinks about it. At the moment, there are more and more innovative technologies that allow us to keep our planet clean. Electric and hybrid vehicles are gaining popularity. In recent years, many new models for motorists that can not pollute the environment have appeared on the market. Actions such as a day without a car can not only give a lot of positive emotions, they often lead to global changes for the better.
According to statistics, every minute a new car leaves the assembly line in the world. The number of cars in Moscow already exceeds the critical level of 170-180 cars per 1,000 inhabitants. In a few years, perhaps, the streets of the capital will become impassable even for firefighters and ambulances.
The situation is becoming critical, but by no means hopeless. Every year on September 22, many cities around the world celebrate World Car Free Day. For example, in France (the same country was the first to celebrate the Day without a car), the center of Paris is closed for cars on this day, and bicycles are offered to residents for movement, and completely free of charge - just leave an identity card as a deposit. In many foreign cities, public transport is free on this day.
In Russia, only Moscow, Belgorod and Nizhny Novgorod have joined the international movement on September 22. However, this does not have a big impact on the situation - in 2009 in Moscow there were as many traffic jams on September 22 as on any other day. What pleases is that the officials that day went to work on foot, some on bicycles.
You shut the car door
And walk forward
And you will see - without gasoline
Breathe easier all around!
Let there be more such promotions
The world will pass
The air will be purified
And it will be more beautiful to live!
Everything, today everything is on foot,
Come on, let's stretch our legs!
Along the paths and over the bumps
Let's not go, let's go.
We will breathe with a full chest,
Let's look at the landscape
And cars near the house
Rest while without us!
Congratulations on World Car Free Day. May there be no traffic jams on the street today, may there never be traffic jams on the roads to your goals and dreams. I wish you a fun and wonderful life without accidents, exhaust gases, nerves and bumps, like today without cars.
We will spend today
A day without a car
And let the air be cleaner
Becomes all over the world.
Let the breeze be fresh
Fly by the planet
And say "Thank you"
She is for us.
urban smog
Let the fog melt
Breathes purity
Let the whole earth be with us.
Almost everyone is a car driver,
But today we will ask you:
Slow down, don't rush
And the speed would be more likely to drop.
Don't drive for at least a day
Let nature become purer
May a day without cars bring good to everyone,
It doesn't matter what the weather is!
We offer today
Close all cars.
Generators, motors
Take it and shut it down.
I want to feel the beauty
Silence and beauty.
Without gasoline, oils, greases
Give nature purity.
Husband hurries early in the morning:
"Where's my tie? And the jacket?
Where are the car keys?
And I told him: “What are you, a fool?
World Car Free Day!
Here - hold the bike,
And good for health
And you will get there without traffic jams and troubles!
All the prices are rising endlessly for gasoline,
Diesel fuel and gas are getting more expensive, but -
The people are already in the store for bread
On his own rides stately cars.
Cars will be installed everywhere - you can’t get through.
And the soot in the air - there is nothing to breathe,
And in the city there are traffic jams on every road.
Nightmare! And it's time to do something about it.
You look: in Europe - already beautiful!
On the bike paths, because there is old and young
The pedals are actively spinning all day.
And they are a hundred times healthier than us.
Great promotion - a day without a car!
Let car owners at least once a year
Crush in buses, flatten in the subway
Active at rush hour wheelless people!
Let them know the freshness of the breath of those masses
Who likes to drink vodka in the evening.
And the trip will give vivacity for the day ...
Hmmm ... Still, you need to buy a car.
Let's ride bikes
On horseback or walking,
Then our ECO troubles will recede,
And we will live longer on earth!
We can do without exhaust gases,
Without black smog for our cities,
And we will get drunk with clean air to the brim,
And we won't leave bad marks!
We will pass by public transport,
We will free our city from traffic jams,
And we will be less catastrophes, tragedies,
Let's make the dream of cleanliness come true!
Who is restless
Traveled the entire highway?
Steel horses run
Hundreds of horsepower.
We wish you unscrupulously
Don't get stuck in traffic today
Bipedal on the go
Run briskly at full speed.
Easy on feet
We'll go without a car
And nature's clean air
Save from petrol.
Cars give a person comfort, for the sake of which he sacrifices the state of the world around him. Not everyone thinks about the dangers of exhaust gases, about the damage that cars cause to nature. Motor transport not only destroys the atmosphere of the planet, it is the cause of death of people - every day more than three thousand people die in accidents. In order for motorists to be distracted from their vehicles, a special holiday was established. Every year on September 22, World Car Free Day is celebrated.
history of the holiday
It is difficult to say where exactly such an action took place for the first time. Some experts believe this happened in Switzerland as early as 1973, when the Federal Council called on people to give up their vehicles for four days. But then it was not connected with the desire to protect nature, but with a banal fuel crisis.
For the first time, for current purposes, this day was decided to be celebrated in England in 1997. A year later, the French joined the celebrations. The action had not yet reached global proportions, so only a few dozen cities celebrated the holiday. This was enough for similar events to be held in many other places.
In 2001, World Car Free Day was celebrated in thirty-five states. It was most actively celebrated in Japan, Canada, and Brazil. Since 2005, Russian cities have also begun to support this holiday. With all this, the pace of production continues to grow: the car is one of the first places among the most advertised products.

September 22ndis World Car Free Day, on which motorists (and motorcyclists) are encouraged to stop using fuel-consuming vehicles for at least a day; in some cities and countries there are specially organized events.
Cars have filled our lives for a long time,
And they polluted the air all around.
They carry large loads far away,
And they bring us to our work.
But exhaust gases are thrown into the air,
And they infect us too.
September 22 is world car free day, in which motorists (and motorcyclists) are asked to stop using fuel-consuming vehicles for at least a day; in some cities and countries there are specially organized events.
The tradition of Car-Free Day began in England in 1997 and took place in France a year later.
Everything, today everything is on foot,
Come on, let's stretch our legs!
Along the paths and over the bumps
Let's not go, let's go.
We will breathe with a full chest,
Let's look at the landscape
And cars near the house
Rest while without us!
In the first two years, Car Free Days were held in Reykjavik (Iceland), Bath (Somerset, UK) and La Rochelle (France).
In 2000, similar Days began to be held around the world.
In Russia, the action took place in Moscow on September 22 since 2008. The main motto of the Day: "The city as a space for people, a space for life."
Too many cars is not only a problem in big cities. This problem has been global for a long time. After all, motor transport destroys both the biosphere of the planet and the person himself.
We can't imagine a day without a car,
But before, people still somehow lived.
And they carried very heavy loads,
Nature, however, was not harmed.
Realizing that in modern conditions it is simply impossible to completely abandon cars, the heads of cities and the heads of various organizations want to remind the public about the problems that transport brings with it. At least once a year.
We offer today
Close all cars.
Generators, motors
Take it and shut it down.
I want to feel the beauty
Silence and beauty.
Without gasoline, oils, greases
Give nature purity.
It is impossible to refuse road transport, but who wants to give up the convenience of getting to the dacha in their car, instead of crowding on the train.
Many trips to the store have been replaced by a shopping trip. It's faster and more convenient.
Public transport is also needed. How to bring the right product to the store?
How to be? Return to horse traction?
Suggested responses from children:
We need to change cars.
We need to find another fuel.
Educator: Are you ready to give up your car?
Suggested responses from children:
Yes a little.
Not if you travel far.
For a long time, the legs get tired of pedaling.
Rollerblading, just ride.
Educator: Here's your homework to come up with the car of the future.
Fizkultminutka.
It's easy fun
It's easy fun
Turns left and right.
We all know for a long time -
There is a wall, and there is a window. (Turns of the body to the right and left.)
We squat quickly, deftly.
Here, the trick is already visible.
To develop muscles
You have to sit down a lot. (Squats.)
And now walking in place
This is also interesting. (Walking in place.)
Riddles competition.
Let's split into two teams. Each team has 5 riddles, for each correct answer 1 point, for the correct answer to the riddle of the other team - 2 points.
This horse does not eat oats
Instead of legs - two wheels.
Sit on horseback and ride it
Just better drive. (bike)
Runs and shoots
Grumbles quickly.
The tram can't keep up
Behind this chatterbox. (motorbike)
Wonderful long house
There are many passengers in it.
Wears rubber shoes
And it feeds on gasoline. (bus)
Runs, sometimes buzzes.
Looks sharply into two eyes.
Only red light will come -
He will stand in place in a moment. (automobile)
Does not fly, but buzzes
The beetle runs down the street.
And they burn in the eyes of a beetle,
Two brilliant lights. (car)
I am at any time of the year
And in any bad weather
Very fast at any hour
I'll take you underground. (metro)
Early in the morning behind the window
Knock, and ringing, and confusion.
On straight steel tracks
There are colorful houses. (tram)
Amazing wagon!
Judge for yourself:
Rails in the air, and he
Holds them with his hands. (trolleybus)
Past the grove, past the Yar
Rushing without smoke
Rushing without steam
Steam train sister.
Who is she? (train)
Well, my friend, guess
But it's not a tram.
Away along the rails quickly rushes
From the huts a string. (train)
Summary of the lesson.
Educator: Today we learned about World Car Free Day.
We are accustomed to using cars, we can't take an extra step without a car.
Every car has an exhaust pipe. In order to understand how the air around us is clogged, it is enough to stand near the car for a while. You will understand and this is only one car. How many cars rush past us and each one poisons the air we breathe.
Everyone has paper and pencils on their desks. I suggest you draw a poster.
Your poster "Support the action".
Who is restless
Traveled the entire highway?
Steel horses run
Hundreds of horsepower.
We wish you unscrupulously
Don't get stuck in traffic today
Bipedal on the go
Run briskly at full speed.
Easy on feet
We'll go without a car
And nature's clean air
Save from petrol.
In the famous novel by Ilf and Petrov "The Golden Calf", the main character confidently broadcasts from the podium: "A car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation." At the time of the action of the novel, cars in cities were still a rarity. However, the words of Ostap Bender turned out to be prophecies, and today the streets of large and small cities are simply filled with cars. A large number of cars became a real problem, so such an original holiday as World Car Free Day was founded.
A huge number of cars on the streets of cities is not only a problem of many hours of traffic jams in which motorists have to stand idle. This is also the gas content of the air that our children breathe, these are the victims of car accidents. Scientists have calculated that cars kill up to 3,000 people directly and indirectly every day.
However, the demand for cars does not fall, and numerous car factories produce new car models every day.
history of the holiday
For the first time, car-free days began to be held spontaneously in different cities since 1973. True, at first the reason was not concern for the environment, but a banal fuel crisis.
However, the official history of the holiday dates back to 1995, when Days without the use of vehicles were organized in several large cities: Reykjavík, Bata and La Rochelle.
Two years later, the first national campaign took place in the UK, as a result of which residents of many cities in the country decided to give up personal cars for one day. A year later, many cities of France joined the mass company. And since the beginning of the 21st century, the initiative has been supported in thousands of cities around the world.
Today is the official date for Car Free Day September 22nd. At this time, many people leave their cars in parking lots, going about their business by public transport, cycling, rollerblading or just walking.
How is it celebrated?
The slogan for Car Free Day is simply: "The city is a space for people to live." On this day, various events are held in many cities, the purpose of which is to show people that it is possible to move quite comfortably without a personal car.
On this day, many cities significantly increase the number of buses and trolleybuses on routes. And in some places they significantly reduce the price of travel.
In addition, a variety of events are held to demonstrate to people how negatively the huge number of cars affects the environment. The purpose of these actions is to encourage citizens to use alternative methods of transportation more often, leaving their car in the parking lot.
Residents of cities get the opportunity to see how much easier it is to breathe on the streets of the city when a continuous line of cars does not move along the roads. In addition, cities are freed from traffic jams these days, and the usual way to work and home takes much less time, giving you the opportunity to spend an extra hour with your loved ones.
After all, traffic jams in the city are not just stolen time for citizens, but also more expensive goods in the store due to delivery difficulties, and the risk of not waiting for an ambulance in an emergency.
How about in Russia?
The first city in Russia to support the behavior of the Car Free Day was, of course, Moscow. The first action was held in the capital in 2008. Then other cities joined the idea to abandon the car, at least for one day a year. It is known that the actions were held in St. Petersburg, Ufa, Kursk, Yekaterinburg and other cities.
Of course, even on the Day of Celebration, roads are not completely blocked, however, the number of vehicles is significantly reduced. On this day, various bike rides are often given, and many citizens switch to public transport and bicycles on their own initiative.
