The pollution in Beijing is considerable.
According to a tourist, ‘the city seemed to be fogged in with some kind of haze. A bit of relief is out at the Ming Tombs and Great Wall, but even there, its noticeable. If you have respiratory problems, be aware of this!’ Sitting in traffic is the worst, this tourist got high from the fumes!
A Chinese city tookan innovative step. It saved almost $160,000 and its residents had a respite from polluted air during a week-long ban on private cars.
Fuyang, a city in poor, inland Anhui province, only allowed buses and other forms of public transport to ferry people about in an effort to combat “car wheel corruption,” the Beijing News said.
“Shutting out private cars can save millions ... and have a positive effect on society,” an unnamed local official was quoted as saying.
