CBD car-free days, when motorists are encouraged to give up their cars for either low-carbon public transports, cycling or walking, have been initially embraced by Paris, with a few more European cities joining this pilgrimage to less dependence on automobile mobility. This measure is a promotion of sustainable lifestyle as much as it is decarbonization showcase.

Body 1

Compounded by rising use of subsidized electricity-powered vehicles, streets in downtown have been unflaggingly packed regardless of conventional peak hour. An obsession on car mobility would make commute less efficient, as urban population booms, road lanes construction stalls and accident rate increases. To reverse this alarming trend, governments need to press sedentary car owners to take a hiatus of driving to walk to bus stops, subway stations or simply to sweat while cycling —little-noticed alternatives to being stuck in congestion for grueling hours. Behind this campaign, however, lies deeper ecological commitment. Being a participant in a public low-carbon scheme is often correlated with an enhanced green awareness, thus spurring individuals and firms to incorporate ecological concerns into their daily operations.

本段译文(translation)：

随着越来越多的有补贴的电动汽车的使用，无论平时高峰时间，市中心的街道都一直拥挤不堪。伴随城市人口的激增、道路建设的停滞和事故率的上升，对汽车移动性的痴迷会进一步降低通勤效率。为了扭转这一令人担忧趋势，政府需要敦促那些久坐不动的车主，让他们暂时中断开车习惯，步行去公交车站、地铁站，或者只是骑自行车流汗——这些很少被注意到的替代方法，可以让他们免于在拥挤车潮中度过劳累几个小时。然而，在这场无车运动的背后，是更深层次的生态承诺。作为公共低碳计划参与者往往可增强绿色意识，从而激励个人和企业将环保意识纳入其日常运作中。

Body 2

Although local councils have gone great lengths to underline multiple takeaways of this car-free campaign, some find this restriction irksome. Misinterpreting the initiatives as anti-car, commuters with entrenched car-centric mindset may feel hindered by using public transit, walking or cycling. But this myth could be readily debunked by astoundingly efficient streets removed of cars and congestions, allowing underrated alternatives to shine as viable commuting options. Another myth relates to lowered business sales; customers could discouraged to visit shops without car mobility. But the opposite is the case; repetitive numerical studies have found that foot traffic in commercial area tends to stimulate local economy by drawing in more walk-in customers.
