We ensure that never again can a company like BP take a tax deduction for money spent cleaning up its own mess in the Gulf of Mexico." These are the words of Sen.

This September 19-23 there is going to be a conference in Venice, Italy on Degrowth. This is an important movement that has gained traction in the past few years (some of you may have read about Francois Schneider and his 14 month walk with donkey in France, in one issue of Carbusters). you can learn more about the conference at http://www.venezia2012.it/?lang=en. (can also register there) Venice is also the glorious example, par excellence, of a carfree city and beautiful carfree spaces, that all of us in the network like to gush about. Well, there has been some talk among a few of us, of getting carfree people to attend the conference, and using the opportunity to spend a little time (ideally after the main conference) of planning for future ways that WCN can play a role in shaping sustainable mobility and moving forward the carfree concept, in light of the closing of the Prague office closed last year.

What's not so well known is that the Dutch don't bike so much because cycling is in their DNA. They do it because after the country started down the path toward car dependence, they made a conscious decision to change course.". -Elizabeth Press, videographer at Street Films.

Is it not RIGHT NOW the best time to make a clear presentation or summary of the major action points for carfree cities and areas? Gas prices are causing headaches and otherwise unsolvable problems for both private citizens and their communities, cities, regions, etc. What I would propose: 1. Make cycling 100% safe where possible, by creating segregated lanes without any contact with motorised traffic. 2. Make walking 100% safe with segregated lanes/paths, etc. 3. Lower the price of public transport especially when it is run on electricity or other sustainable energy forms. 4. Learn about the benefits of compact living for citizens and their cities, regions, etc: - Better economies at all levels - Better air quality and environment - Better health - More room for nature to thrive - Less energy used - Less greenhouse gases emitted - etc! with good wishes, Aaron </pre> Aaron Thomas 2012-02-26T12:19:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.politics.activism.carfree-network/3734 <pre>Dear friends, The February issue of World Carfree News is out!

(the legal entity registered in the Czech Republic), the Management and Steering Committees have indicated that they want to dissolve it as soon as possible. All outstanding tasks dating back to summer 2010 and ealier have been completed, leaving WCN Europe solely as a generator of administrative work, without a useful function. In addition, we did not receive any proposals to host the TCC conference in 2012 - traditionally WCN Europe has been used to channel funding for this event. The governing bodies of WCN Europe have therefore called an annual general meeting (AGM) that proposes the immediate dissolution (closure) of WCN Europe. The AGM will be held via Skype on 18 May. An agenda is attached.
