text: In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars up to 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States come from cars in car congested areas. In the passage the text explains how a social expierment turned into a growing trend in Europe today. In subburban town of Vauban, many people have utitmatly given up their cars. How this was done you may ask? In the town driveways are forbidion aswell as home garages. Car Ownership isnt forbidden though,but to own a car is quite difficult and costly. With only two places to park in the whole town, it makes ownership very difficult. The lifestyle of people here without cars ultimatly reduced stress and increased health, and much happier and healthier lifestyles were made. Another example will be in Paris, France. After the city recieved near record-breaking pollution in the air, Paris officals took action. They banned driving for two days to attempt to reduce carbon emissions. The way they enforced this rule was by fines throughout the city for no cooperation. On that monday on the first day of the ban, only 4000 fines were given. Many people were complained of inconvience and companies complained of lost revenue, Although the incovencies, the ban for just one day reduced the smog almost completely and allowed for Pairs to lift the scheduled ban on that tuesday. So even though in some places the reduction of car usage may cause incovience, the reduction carbon emuissions cant go unnoticed, and it is huge advantage.
