Who did take the iniative to implement this event?<BR/><BR/>I remember back in the early 70ies, oil crises, lack of oil etc, we had several "car-free" weekends here in Norway.<BR/><BR/>I say: Bring back the rainforests to about 50% of what it oncw were, then we will have natures own CO2 cleaning system besides restitute the worlds larges rivers (clean water we are talking about) and stop eating red beef (the absolutely worst climate enemy. Believe it or not. 1 kg of beef takes 7 kg of grain to produce - plus the land and the metan-gaz from the beasts fart.
