text: Paris, France, puts a ban of driving due to smog pollution due to the main usuage of diesel fuel. Paris usually has more smog than other European capitals as it is with it having cold nights and warm days trapping car emissions. The smog, which was progressivly getting worse, rivaled even that of Bejing, China, which is the one of the most polluted places in the entire world. The ban took place on a Monday for even-numbered liscened plates and Tuesday for odd-numbered liscened plate numbers. But even with the ban almost 4,000 people were fined a fee of 22 euros ($31). The smog cleared eough with those who did participate that they didn't have to enforce the Tuesday ban, which goes to show that even a large city can fight something as global as pollution.
