- In 2007, China launched the Green Transport and Health week campaign to help residents understand the importance of environmental protection and be mindful about saving energy. The campaign ended with a No Car Day Saturday. This Chinese national urban transport campaign was implemented by the Ministry of Construction. During the week of September 22, walking, biking, public transportation, and carpooling are encouraged. On No Car Day they will have special 'green zones' in hundreds of cities. These normally vehicle congested areas will be open only to pedestrians, bicycles, and buses from 7am to 7pm. No Car Day's main objective is to promote public transportation. Public transportation helps to conserve energy and have lower emission because the number of vehicles has been reduced. No Car Day was originally started in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games that were being held in Beijing. It is estimated that the 2007 campaign saved 33 million liters of gasoline and cut emissions by 3,000 tons. (en)
