In an attempt to reduce pollution for the olympics, Beijing is reducing the number of cars on the road each day. They are doing this by plate number. If your plate is even, you can drive on certain days; if odd, the other days. This way they reduce the number of cars on the road by about half each day.
The cool thing about this will be the results. Will they be able to reduce pollution significantly? How quickly will it happen? Will people go back to driving after the driving restrictions are lifted, or will they continue to take public transportation?
The bad thing about this is the problem. The pollution is so bad that some athletes can't compete.
