This is to draw your attention to the new Discussion Forum on the
Web that has been set up in support of the International Car Free
Day Consortium. Their respective addresses follow:
The International Car Free Day Consortium WWW site -- Go to
http://www.ecoplan.org/carfreeday
The Car Free Day Discussion Forum -- Go to
http://egroups.com/list/carfreeday/
The Car Free Day Consortium has been created on the Internet by
The Commons as a free, shared central repository of information,
experience and counsel for people and groups who feel that the
idea of organizing a civic day without cars might be not only a
pleasant event in itself, but also an instructive one at a time
when many places are looking for ways out of the cities/cars
impasse. It is not an anti-car or anti-technology forum (though we
can point you to some pretty good ones). Rather it is proposed as
a handy rallying point for those who care more about people and
society than, say, the cars themselves. It is an entirely open,
cooperative endeavor, off the economy, and will be as good and
complete as you chose to make it. To subscribe, send a message to
[log in to unmask] or go to our home page at

We feel that this concept is a powerful (and much neglected)
research and consensus building tool, and hope that you will have
a look and share your reactions and suggestions with us all. We
would be grateful if you would take the time to share this
information with others of your colleagues and acquaintances who
might be interested both in following developments on these sites
and, even better, in joining in and contributing ideas,
suggestions and information. Thank you.
With all good wishes,
Eric Britton
BTW, next Friday, the 27th is International Buy Nothing Day in the
Western Hemisphere. Saturday the 28th is the day for Europe and
whoever else in the Old World who might wish to join in. You can
