text: These methods of erradicating as much pollution as possible are making a substantial amount of progress, considering the densities of these cities and countries participating in this pollution expuslion effort. In Paris, France, they had an entire day where cars weren't allowed to be used in anyway or a massive fine would be administered. For the first day, people with even numbered liscene plates weren't allowed to drive, then the odd numbered the next day. Many people complained and didn't even go to work those days. Many trucking compaines complained about a loss in revenue and being behind on work, and dozens of people were drastically fined. This did cut down on the amount of smog in Paris, though, and really cleaned out a lot of the city. It had gotten so bad in Paris that the pollution levels were around the ones in Bejing, the most polluted city in the world.
