タイトル「車に乗らない日は必要なのか？」

No, this suggestion isn’t acceptable.
One reason makes this opinion unsupportable.

ガソリン車が大気中に放出する温室効果ガスはメタンガスほどは有毒ではない。しかし二酸化炭素は量が多いので、環境保護的には対処すべき有毒物質とされている。
The greenhouse effect gas a gasoline automobile emits into the atmosphere isn’t as poisonous as methane gas, but the amount of carbon dioxide is too large a harmful substance for an expert or a scientist to eliminate from an environmental viewpoint.

車に乗らない運転手の数が多ければ、それだけ彼らが大気中に放出する二酸化炭素が少なくなる。それで自治体が月に一度は車に乗らない日を設定するように要求するのだ。
The larger the number of drivers who refuse to ride a car is, the less carbon dioxide they release into the air, which is the reason that our government requires us to set a day when our automobile isn’t driven in one month.
Whether such a project is effective or not doesn’t matter.

そもそも今の地球は寒冷期の反対の温暖期だ。温暖化の原因として二酸化炭素が取り立たされるのにはかなり問題がある。誰かが私たちを騙しているに違いない。
In the first place, the current earth is affected by the warm periods, which is opposite to cold periods.
This is why we cannot easily say that too many carbon dioxide emissions have make negative contributions to our precious planet, which is such an impossible subject that someone with malicious intention could make us too aware of global warming phenomenon.

ゴミ問題も同様だ。最近は紙のストローを使う機会が増えてきた。それは製紙会社にとって収益がある。プラごみは確かに海洋生物には危険ではあるのだが。
This explanation described above seems true of garbage problem : the number of opportunities where we use a straw made of paper at the restaurant has become large, which makes profitable contributions to paper manufacturing corporations while plastic waste might be something dangerous to marine creatures.

明らかに意図的な変化がある時は、誰かが儲かる仕組みになっている。感染症が流行した時は製薬会社に利益があった。気候変動も同じことに変わりはない。
Someone has a malicious scheme to gain much money when we encounter obviously intentional changes : drug manufacturers earned much money when threatening infectious diseases attacked human beings a few years ago, which must be true of climate change.

This reason makes the question titled above unfavorable.
