Discussion#2:No my own car!(Oct.15)

Last week, Ms. Sato (Kasumi), Ms. Hirota (Ayumi), Ms. Yamada (Masami), Mr. Shiraki (Kota) and Mai talked about "No my own car".
In Korea, they have this system, and on May 30th, cars with even number can not drive, on the other hand, those with un-even number can not drive on May 31st. So, people who can't use their car will be able to take public transportation for free on those two days.
If this system, "No my own car" is introduced in Japan, people can't drive cars on the whole day.
We will have this day twice a month, on doubling day, 11th and 22nd. People can take public transportation system for 100 yen.
However, we don't have enough transportation system in country sides. So the government need to prepare the transportation system.
Also, people living far from station, bus stop and their office, like Ms. Hirota, or people who need cars for their work, like Mr. Shiraki, will have a lot of problems. To solve these problems, some people will be able to drive cars if they are applied by the city office.
As I wrote above, there are some problems which we should solve before introduction of this system. I think it is much easier that each people is care about the environment and try to use public transportation systems and walk instead of using their own cars. Then, the governments doesn't have to build new transportation systems, and people who need their car can use their cars.
I agree with Sach's idea. She said that we should practice this system in every company. I think that companies should make some rules. For example, people living near the office should walk to the company, or people should share a cabin when they need cars.
We should think about our behavior to reduce the emission of CO2.

  1. Thanks Miyo,
    You are quite right that we should think about how to reduce C02 emissions. This seems like a good answer (certainly not the only answer) but the logistics of this proposal need to be thought of in more detail.
    Thanks for your comments.
