>Jammers,

>If you spent your summer choking on Interstate fumes as you tried to find 
>some scrap of wilderness to camp in, here are seven words to lift your spirits:
>
>September 21 is World Car-Free Day.
>
>A future without cars is a tantalyzing prospect. A *day* without cars is a 
>glimpse of that future. Imagine: People walking, people smiling, a man 
>selling ice-cream. (Hold on a sec, we're having a '70s Chicago flashback. 
>There, it passed.) Certainly, there will be a measure of silence, a 
>measure of peace. Conversations will be heard. Desk jockeys will get a 
>little exercise. People will miss appointments they didn't really need to make.
>
>After experiencing a city without cars - or, more realistically, part of a 
>neighbourhood without cars - many folks will find it hard to allow the 
>traffic back the next day.
>
>This is World Car-Free Day's inaugural year. Let's kick it off with 
>feeling. Download a poster at http://www.adbusters.org, organize a rally 
>or make a personal statement on foot, bike or bus. It matters.
>
>Send your pics and stories to campaigns at adbusters.org
>
>Cheers from the staff and volunteers at Adbusters.
