16 - 22 September 2008 is European Mobility Week, which asks people to change the way they travel in their daily lives and use more sustainable modes of transport such as walking, cycling or using public transport.
The organisers say: "Today in Europe, the increasing reliance on fossil fuels to meet growing energy demand, combined with the dramatic rise in road traffic contribute to air pollution in our towns and cities which, in turn, can lead to serious health problems." So the central theme for European Mobility Week is 'Clean air for all', encouraging a change in transport choices to cut CO2 emissions and improve air quality.
The week ends with In Town, Without My Car! Day on 22 September, so why not show your support by leaving your car at home on and walking, cycling, or taking the bus or train instead.
