You know you pollute too much when..


..to host the Olympics..

  • 3.3 million vehicles have to be pulled off the roads

  • chemical plants, power stations and foundries have to be ordered to cut emissions by 30 percent

  • all dust-spewing construction is halted.
A World Bank study found China is home to 16 of the 20 worst cities for air quality. Three-quarters of the water flowing through urban areas is unsuitable for drinking or fishing.

Gotta onder how those Olympians are going to breathe.. especially the distance runners.

    Did the Olympic committee not know these things ahead of time. I wonder what the cities that beijing beat out are saying now.
