Some people have meatless Mondays. Recently, I have begun having carless days on weekends. This is something I intend to keep doing into the new year. Of course, there are people who don't have cars who might find a lot of this advice to be useless. The advice I have is more geared towards those with automobiles who should find ways to use them less for a variety of reasons.
First of all, it is beneficial for the environment. If you are able to get places by foot or with public transportation, you are putting less emissions in the air. You should be able to find a day of the week where you are able to do the things you need without a car.
It's also good for your health. Walking places within a reasonable distance is an excellent form of exercise.
It's also good for your finances. You are using less gas, which has become very expensive in recent years. Even using your car for one day less a week will go a long way in helping you save some money.
I have learned to enjoy the days without my car. Even the trip going to the store seems a lot more of an experience when I am not traveling by car compared to how routine and mundane it used to feel. So, I recommend those who have cars to find a time in the week to not use them.
