No idea if you would be car free, but you would be living responsibly.
See. the stuff you mention is exactly the kind of stuff we SHOULD use cars for: moving lab equipment, improving education, making science happen. If people only drove cars when they've got a damned good reason to, instead of using 2000 kg of steel to schlep a single 70-kg human around, then we would not be in the environmental and economic mess we're in.

Nonsense. How do you propose accomplishing the same level of science education, without transporting equipment around?
