Yesterday was No Car Day in 107 Chinese cities. A great idea except that it didn't work. As you can see, Beijing streets were clogged with vehicles. The encouragement to bring out the bicycles was largely ignored.There is no point in being critical. We know that a similar declaration would have little impact here in Canada. It may be that the Chinese government will be more persistent.
A few days ago I suggested that we approach our driving habits and the alternatives as a spiritual matter. It is a matter of life and breath.
