Don’t have a breakdown in these exercises related to the benefits of being car-free from Jenny Alexander

World Car Free Day is coming up in September, with the idea of giving people in towns and cities everywhere an opportunity to experience life without traffic and inspire them to leave the car behind more often for local journeys. The health and environmental benefits of cutting traffic are obvious, but so are the blocks and difficulties, and that makes it a great topic to explore in free-range writing.
Flex all your writing muscles with these short pieces of memoir, fiction, nonfiction and poetry, and if you feel inspired, you could have a physical work-out too, leaving the car behind and taking a stroll. You know the rule; stick to the timings.
