Fortunately, I know quite a number of people who are just car free or car light ... no movement, no organisation, nothing political involved. They've just decided that being car free or car light works for them for one reason or another at certain times in their lives. They aren't going to preach it to everyone around or hold some delusion that what they're doing is going to change the world ... they just do it.
