With the Olympics not far away, Beijing is making a last-ditch attempt to clear up the pollution. They have brought in a system where odd-numbered registered cars use the road one day and even numbered on the next. They have put over 10,000 surveillance cameras in place and anyone caught breaking the rule is fined 100 Yuan [or $15] . They hope that about half of the estimated 3,300,00 cars will be forced off the roads in about 2 months with this new system. Another thing that they have done is forced air-polluting companies to limit production or shut down for good. I think that this is a good way to deal with pollution but it may be too late.

Hmm! I wonder if it will all work. From reports from the sailing, there is still a lot of weed in the sea where the sailing is to take place. It will be interesting to see if it all comes together for them.
