In 2007, China launched the Green Transport and Health week campaign.
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.
It is estimated that the 2007 campaign saved 33 million liters of gasoline and cut emissions by 3,000 tons.
