What does the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games plan to do to solve the problems caused by car boom?

China’s car boom is presenting the country of 1.3 billion with a dilemma.
The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, for instance, is experimenting with a plan to limit the number of vehicles entering the city during the two-week sports extravaganza next summer by using odd-and even-numbered license plates. Traffic gridlock and air pollution have been haunting organizers. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge even hinted at the possibility of rescheduling some endurance events if air quality doesn’t improve. The country’s car population has been growing due to an emerging middle class that desires personal mobility. Already, China has become the world’s second largest consumer of auto- mobiles and the third biggest maker of automobiles.

The Catholic church is worried that people aren’t taking sins seriously enough. So the Vatican has decided to update its list of the seven deadly sins. But whereas the focus of traditional sins--LUST, GREED, SLOTH, WROTH, ENVY, PRIDE, and GLUTTONY is individual, those which we will consign today is seen as the hellfire and more social than nature. In the days when the artist Hieronymus Bosch gave us his view of the sins they said the earth was flat. Now the Vatican says its new sins will take into account the after effects of globalization. New sins on the block could be Abusing drags or selling them to others, Genetic manipulation such as embryo research which the Vatican opposes, Morally dubious experiments think Dolly the sheep, Polluting the environment, Creating social inequalities and social injustice, Causing poverty and which some would say goes with it, Accumulating excessive wealth￡┐wealth, something the church itself has been known to do.
