Kazakhstan to observe car-free day in support of environment
In the context of the nationwide Birgemiz: Taza Álem initiative, Kazakh citizens are invited to participate in the "Car Free Day" event as part of the Taza (Clean) Qazaqstan campaign, Kazinform News Agency reports with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The purpose of Car Free Day is to reduce air pollution by cutting down on car use in order to reduce the harmful emissions released into the atmosphere.
The challenge will commence on July 22 and is open to all. This day invites everyone to leave their cars at home and enjoy the streets free of traffic and pollution. People bike, walk, or use public transport, seeing their cities in a new, quieter light without the usual buzz of car engines.
Photos or videos of your day without a car can be published in social networks, using the hashtags #CarFreeDay (#Denbezavtomobilya) and tagging @birgemiz_taza_alem2022.
