INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE CAR
The international day of the car means that this day this day we should not take our cars and take our bicycles and other types of transports that not contaminate at all.
This is a good idea for contribute to the pollute in the world because the cars buses and other types of transports that work with gasoline contaminate a lot the atmosphere.
So this day is just created to pollute less than the other days.
