Successful Car-free Day in Hoi An
|
|
The central city of Hoi An launched its first Car-free Day campaign on Sunday, coinciding with its annual Nature Day in which thousands of people participated.
It is the first city in Vietnam to host the event in an effort to make the environment in the tourism hub even cleaner.
Hoi An has been successful in setting up pedestrian-only streets and it has 13 sites where people can change used plastic bags for new reusable bags in an action to say no to plastic bags for the past three years. The Car-free Day event aimed to raise public awareness about environmental problems and call on them to use environmentally friendly vehicles, with participants riding on bicycles and pedicabs around the city’s old quarter.
The Car-free Day, which debuted in La Rosshelle in France in 1997, has attracted the participation of 2,268 cities in 40 countries.
