text: Cars have polluted so many areas of our world and at this point of time, our world is changing. Less car useage means more money that is not being spent on gas and less pollution to our environment. The executive chairman of Ford Motor Company has a business plan to create cities where "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." It is beneficial to our new world that it stays intact for the future generations to come.    Have you ever been forced to do something you might not always want to by a parent or a teacher, such as an after school activity? Many students are pressured to sign up for sports, clubs, or other extracurricular activities by parents, friends, and teachers. This ensures that they are getting physical activity, time off electronics, and are spending time with their community. However, students should not be forced to participate in these extracurricular activities because of their homework and jobs, lack of time spent with their families and friends, and the money some families do not have to pay for these activities.
