Topic 39 Traffic Restrictions and Environment Protection交通限制和环境保护
So far, traffic restriction has been put into effect for more than one year in Beijing. And people do witness the changes. But as to its influence on the environment, no agreement has been reached yet.
The following opinions have been popular among the people. Many people believe that traffic restriction brings evangel to the environment since it means fewer cars on the road, thus less waste gas and resource consumption. Some are pessimistic and want more radical regulations, because they consider the change is too conservative, therefore, the positive change to the environment is too minor. Still a small group of people have been fighting for some exact calculation between the positive effect to the environment and the inconvenience caused by the restriction.
As for me, Better small than never . Since we have been aware of the seriousness of the situation, we should take up our own responsibilities respectively: the government better public traffic system and the citizens follow the necessary regulations. Only in this way will the environment and traffic be upgraded together.
