Beijing Has First Workday Under Car Restrictions
By NY Times
The summer Olympics bring about much excitement around the world. However, who could have forecasted that the Olympics would bring about a plan to reduce air pollution in Beijing. New laws governing the use of cars are expected to take 3 million cars off the road. Cars with odd plates are banned one day the next cars with even numbered plates are banned. This must make one wonder how much more governments could accomplish if they were truly committed to ending air pollution. During the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics moves were made to lower air pollution. Unfortunately, with the end of Olympic activities, it is back to normal. Since governments seem to recognize the danger of air pollution, given their actions during Olympic games, you would think that they would establish laws to combat pollution 365 days a year.
