Thank Goodness China's Hosting the Olympics

...because it looks like it's forcing them to take the first steps towards cleaning up their environment. That's good for all of us.


It's easy to be cynical about this and note that most of these measures are temporary, but it indicates a growing awareness about the intrinsic value of cleaner industry.

Having been to Beijing I find the photos of the roads quite suspect. There are literally so many vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians on the road, you can't see the pavement. Yet this footage shows just a couple of cars. And fairly new ones at that. HHmmmmmmmmmmmm...makes me wonder where the footage was actually taken.
