No cars is cool



Last weekend was the annual "Save the Environment Day" in Cochabamba. It was very cool. No cars allowed on the road. Everyone had to bicycle or walk anywhere they wanted to go. There was a big festival downtown and we decided to walk there and back. Walking there was fun, the entertainment was great, bands, street performers...but the walk home was HARD!!!! We live ON a mountain, so walking home aboout 3 miles up the mountain makes the calfs BURN!! They really need to do something like this in the states. It creates such a friendly environment, and it cuts down on an estimated 98% of pollutants for the day?
