text: states, " After days of near-record pollution, Paris enfoced a partial driving ban to clear to the air of the global city." Which I think that means that they banned the cars or transportation to cut down all the pollution so they can breathe better and the air is cleaner and nicer. And i guess that worked because a couple paragraphs down it says, Congestion was down 60 percent after five-days of intensitying the 'smog'." If that happened in only five days, I'm freaking proud, and think they did a good job and would be amazed of what would happen in a whole year!!
