Mieszkańcy chętnie rozmawiali z funkcjonariuszami o negatywnym wpływie na środowisko naturalne spalin samochodowych jak również pyłku ze ścierających się bieżników oponach. Wyrażali też pozytywny aspekt dla zdrowia , kondycji i samopoczucia pozostawiając swojego samochodu. Wszyscy oni w tym dniu korzystali z rowerów, komunikacji publicznej oraz pieszo.
