text: In Vauban, Germany there is a suburb in which has limited the usage of cars, seventy percent of the families living there do not own cars another fifty seven have sold their car to move there. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" stated by Heidrun Walter a resident and mother of two. This statement shows that by selling or not purchasing a car you can avoid stress however this may not be true for all people. Not owning a car allows us to save money by not having to pay for the car or car insurrance. "Passanger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States". Limited car usage would lower these numbers to take a step forward in bettering our environment allowing a better future.
