Car Busters Magazine -The carfree movement faces huge challenges. Despite climbing gas prices, daily confirmations of climate change, and the precarious global petrol-political situation, car use continues to reach record high levels. The world's most profitable corporation is Exxon Mobil, which recently became the first company ever to generate US$1 billion a day. Carbusters’ Magazine is world renowned for casting a critical eye on car culture: http://www.carbusters.org/

Carfree.com is dedicated to the belief that urban life will be better if private automobiles are not used on the city's streets: http://www.carfree.com/
