At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Car-Free Day is celebrated widely not just in the USA, but also across almost all regions of the world.
This particular day is celebrated by people from various parts of the world. On this date of September 22, instead of driving vehicles, they take bicycles, public transportation, and walking as an alternative mode of transport.
This particular day was made official in 2000. Prior to this year, there were several unofficial car-free days, observed in different parts of the world.
This special day was established by an international organization, called Carbusters, in the year 2000.
Cars have been associated with a lot of detrimental effects on the environment. They do not only increase pollution but also cause global warming. Therefore, on this particular day, all motorists are encouraged to let go of their vehicles and instead walk or ride a bicycle.
This particular day is widely celebrated on September 22 all over the world. On this day, motorists let go of their vehicle and instead switch to public transport such as a bus or to use their bike as an alternative medium of transport. This in turn helps to reduce their carbon footprint.
You can celebrate this special day by hosting car-free events and urging more and more participants to be a part of that event. Ask your friends to stop driving on this particular day and instead engage in other fun activities like cycling and walking. Cars are a leading cause of global warming as well as pollution. So on this day, take an oath to reduce your usage of your vehicle and give more focus on cycling or even walking, especially if it's a short distance.
Many informal car-free days were already observed in regions of Belgium and the Netherland, prior to the year 2000.
On this day, people resort to public transportation, bikes, or walking as an alternative medium of transportation.
The term car-free means not using a car.
On this day, people are encouraged more and more to use their bikes or to walk for traveling short distances. This reduces air pollution for at least a day.
World car-free day was started in 2000 by Carbusters.
This special day helps people realize how dependent they are on cars for their daily mode of transportation and how much detriment it is causing the environment.
