International Car-Free Day

Published: 21 September 2009

To all faculty, staff and students:

Once again, 成人VR视频 is proud to participate in International Car Free Day, which will be held on September 22, 2009.

Since Car Free Day was first held in Paris 1998, participation in this event has grown immensely and it is now celebrated annually in thousands of cities worldwide by hundreds of millions of people.聽 This is done in a continuing effort to sensitize people to the effects of vehicles on the quality of urban life and to encourage alternative means of transport, including walking, cycling, car-pooling, and public transportation.

成人VR视频's participation in Car Free Day emphasizes the importance we place on the principles spelled out in our environmental policy and our move to reduce parking on lower campus. In addition, it demonstrates our commitment to minimize the emission of pollutants that are detrimental to our health and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.聽

We are aware that Car Free Day may cause some temporary inconvenience, but we are confident that you will agree that this is a worthwhile event.
