Do you think there is a way to improve the polution in Beijing? If so, how?

Answer 1

If over 75 % of the pollution in Beijing is created by emissions from cars, than we need to introduce a system to limit the traffic load. Countries like Singapore and the Philippines have introduced systems that all motorists with odd or even numbered registration plates to use their vehicle on alternative days. This has worked well. However, the long term goal, and the one best for the planet is to decarbonise transport and therefore erradicating one significant source of Co2 pollution

Answer 2

The car thing is huge, but now that they have them few will give them up.

Getting them to quit using coal for heating/cooking/electricity would help immensely also, but then there would be thousands, perhaps millions, or people without heat/cooking/or electricity.

Another goal could be to revitalize the desert that is growing closer to Beijing. It produces tremendous dust and sand storms that are horrendous, not to mention their land practices have destroyed the plains (that's why the desert is growing in the first place)

Separate sanitation would be good too. That's why you can't drink the water out of the tap. Better water cleaning would help that a lot.

Teaching them to throw trash away and not in the street, floor, gutter, car, (fill in the blank) would help a lot with the trash issue, perhaps even setting up recycling, but that might be asking too much.

Answer 3

There are many laws aim at stopping/preventing pollutions but THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT.

How many times have you seen heavy duty vehicles on the road (within 6th Ring Road) blowing black smoke and no traffic police to booked them. You only see TP on the road whenever there are major meetings with foreign VIPs and road campaigns going on.

Minor traffic accident (none injury type) causing hugh traffic jam because the drivers insist on waiting for police to confirm faulty party for insurance payout.

Dust storm, construction companies are obliged to cover sandhill with nettings, dumper trucks to be covered but often left unpunished because no police around to book them.

Illegal hawkers and street peddlers dirtying the streets with tonnes of garbages, used oil and dirty water poured into the drainage system causing blockage, and whenever, there is a rainfall, flooding occures.

Conflict of duties between law enforcement agencies. It is not mine but it's theirs mindset.

Until the law enforcement agencies can start to enforce all the environmental laws, than there is a possiblity in reducing pollution in Beijing.
