Eco Attractions Group and the Foundation for Integrated Transport are proud to announce their collaborative efforts in advocating for World Car Free Day, taking place on 22 September. This global initiative encourages individuals and communities to leave their cars at home and explore alternative modes of transport, promoting a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable environment.
World Car Free Day is a celebration of public transport, cycling, walking, and other forms of sustainable mobility. By reducing reliance on cars, this day aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution, and foster a sense of community as people engage more closely with their surroundings. This year, Eco Attractions Group and the Foundation for Integrated Transport are joining forces to amplify this message and inspire widespread participation.
Eco Attractions are offering the following discounts for those leaving their car behind on World Car Free Day
