Wednesday, Sept. 21 is Car-Free Day in Decatur and the community is invited to gather at the Community Bandstand during the Blue Sky Concert for a special celebration from noon until 1 p.m. Decatur Active Living will be giving out special Car-Free Day stickers and tattoos to those who walk, bike or carpool to the concert.
How can you participate in Car-Free Day? Make a commitment to reduce your automobile use on Sept. 21. That might mean biking or riding MARTA to work, walking to the store or the Blue Sky Concert, sharing a ride with friends and neighbors, or riding the bus.
Car-Free Day aims to reduce excessive automobile use for one day out of the year and to remind the community that the care is not the only or bet way to make many kinds of trips. Most trips people take are less than three miles. Walking not only saves gas, but it contributes to your health and the health of the community.
