text: 3      All arround the world countries are making an effort to reduce their use of cars to benefit the Earth. There are many benefits to reducing car usage all arround the world. Not only does it reduce polution but it also promotes getting out and being active. Vauban, Germany is a car-free community where the voices of a few children can drown out the hum of a car. Bogota, Colombia has established a program called the Day Without Cars  where they promote alternate transportation and reduce smog. This promotes people to use transportation that runs on man-power like bikes or even walking. This also falls into the fact that as people use bikes and walk they begin to get more exercize. Although most of the time it is more convinent to use cars to get to a location some places have stores within walking distance so there would be no need for the use of a car.
