Bolivia bans cars for a day
Cars and buses were taken off the streets of Bolivia as the country held its first "National Day of the Pedestrian," BBC reported.
All motorized vehicles, including public transport, were banned in cities across the country on Sunday.
Bolivia's government says it wants to raise awareness about the environment.
It comes at a time when President Evo Morales' government is facing criticism over plans to build a highway through the Amazon rainforest.
