Beijing is to spend up to $20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21 st-century one for the 2008 Olympics.
The government managed to host the 2008 Olympics. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent piping natural gas to the city’s homes and taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60, 000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas.
The money will also be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green belts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing’s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.
