Environmentally friendly!!

A Day Without a Car

How environmentally aware are we really? Well, I'd say we're quite enthusiastic and active on that area... on paper, at least. Hmmm... I suppose we have to start somewhere... Anyway, when it comes to practice, we're so far behind the whole save-the-planet-eco-green-environmentally-friendly plan that we would have to be dragged on by a herd of horses if we are to contribute to the cause of reducing the gass emissions and saving our planet eventually.

Last week was "Mobility Week" in Ljubljana. The rides on the city buses were free, which was absolutely fabulous! There was a bit less traffic in the city AND I saved about 5 € on the bus tokens. The city centre was a bit cleaner and a walk in the streets was quite pleasant. So, I guess I could say that the Mobility-Week project was successful. We were ready to enter the next eco-level.

So, to top off the "Mobility Week", we had "A Day Without a Car" in our capital today. But was it really a day WITHOUT a car? This shot was taken at about 8 o'clock in the morning. There was hardly a square inch of the road that was car-free!! WITHOUT a car? Come on... (And for those of you wondering whether I was sitting in my car in this metal mess: NO, I was travelling by bus today - and I think we all know why, right?)

So, let me conclude with these words: let's keep on being "environmentally friendly" and drive around in cars - one person pro car, if possible!
