I Love Beijing/China

Only in China- There’s a story in the Wall Street Journal (full article here [$]) about the pollution problem in Beijing.  Here’s an excerpt: “Amid concern about Beijing’s ability to clean up its pollution in time for next year’s Olympics, the city has plans to ban one million cars for a two-week test of its smog-control measures next month. A ban on one-third of the city’s cars is among the measures being considered in preparation for the Games, and could be given a trial run next month, a spokesman from Beijing’s Environmental Protection Agency said.” Folks who live in Beijing, mark your calendars for the two week period of August 7 through the 20th. It will be a beautiful time - both for blue sky’s and driving ;-)
