ECFD Today, on April 3rd, 2001

What is this?

Over the course of the weeks before the first ECFD opens its doors, we are inviting our international collaborators to join us in preparing op-ed and thinkpieces which offer different perspective on the car free day approach, its antecedents and the way in which they may fit in with the overhauls that are now needed of our cities and their transportation arrangements.

The pieces posted here are intended for the media, and above all for those who come to this site in support of their ideas or programs. These materials may be used freely unless otherwise indicated. We ask only that you provide the usual full and proper acknowledgement of your source:

You will need Adobe Acrobat in order to read these PDF files. The Acrobat Reader is freely available here.

The Other Side

Not everybody likes car free days. Not everybody loves public interest or ecology action group. And not everybody likes it when anybody of anything tries to get between them and their cars. Like it or not, we have to be prepared to listen to them as well. They after all have to become part of the solution, not of the problem.

The Other Side is our open tribunal for those who wish to make their points of view heard too. Have anything good that you can share with us that expresses these concerns and positions? This is the place to share it with us.

And from you?

Have you comments, corrections or suggestions on any of the Today pieces given here. Suggestions for additional topics? An idea for a joint article or one that you would like to prepare yourself? ? A cartoon? A song? A play? An web opera? This is the place to let us know. Diversity rules!
