CAR FREE FRIDAYS

DATE: Friday 8th October onwards

LOCATION: Across the Harrogate district

 

We are encouraging the local community to swap their car for alternative, lower carbon transport methods on Fridays, to lower the carbon footprint of the district.

​

Rather than trying to ditch your car altogether, start with just one day of the week. Reducing your carbon footprint is about making lasting habits, not just about a single event day.

​

Instead of using your car as normal on Fridays, try walking, cycling or using public transport, as part of a community effort to reduce our district’s carbon emissions.

Some may feel it impossible to leave the car at home completely at first - but remember that driving less distance, and walking the last part to your destination, all still helps lower the carbon footprint of your journey. We call this ‘park and stride’ - every mile counts!
