China in Olympics pollution drive

The above "headline" appeared on today's BBC News Website above an article which detailed how air quality is a major concern for organisers of the Olympics.

Whilst I'm sure this should be so, either the headline writers have once again chosen to mislead its readers, or the initiative is somewhat misguided.

Driving is the last thing that they should be doing to reduce pollution. "China in Olympics pollution walk" would be a far better strategy.

It reminded me of how my present company used to refer to the 'time period' that senior managers had to keep their company cars for, before getting a new one as - "the replacement cycle". I said that if I was only going to get a replacement cycle, I would keep the old car!!!!
