In Mexico City, there has been a ban of all privately and federally owned vehicles in the city. The ban is only temporary and was put in place in an effort to solve the air pollution troubles in the city. A few other cities have put similar temporary bans in place. However this temporary ban is not as effective in other countries like India where the population is denser and the air is dirtier.More in this article.
Was there anything like this done during the energy crisis? no there wasn't though a great deal of people turned to bikes as an alternative to cars, more people still drove. If there had been temporary car bans put ion place, would the U.S have had such a large scale energy crisis? I think these temporary car bans could help slow down global warming if they were done by all countries frequently enough.
If cars in Mexico had Catalyst converters, the output would be much cleaner. -Andrew Witcher

ReplyDeleteThe problem is the location of mexico city. The mountains that surround the city trap all of the emissions in the city hurting the air quality. So they need drastic changes in order to clean up the city.
