BBC Radio World Service interview

Jim Longhurst was interviewed by the BBC Radio World Service in connection with the plan by the Beijing city authorities to take 1 million cars off the roads of Beijing for a two week period in the summer of  2007. If the action results in an improvement in air quality during this period it is likely that the city authorities will repeat this action during the 2008 Olympic Games.
