text: Just think about it, all the toxins released into the air and all the traffic we can be stuck in for hours at a time! Reducing the clutter and the use of oils is enfact very possible. Residents in Vauban, Germany have copletely almost completly cut owing cars out of their community. 70 percent of Vauban's familys don't own cars while 57 percent sold their cars to move there. With mostly "car-free" streets with the exception of the main thoroughfare, Vauban has forbidden driveways and home garages. Though car ownership is aloud if the car- owner buys a space to park it, Vauban is leading an example of an alternative way that communities can live reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
