The question leads to several thoughts. The first thought is that the Olympic selection committee was not concerned with environmental issues some eight years ago when Beijing was chosen as a host. They were too busy with issues such as...

Can't worry about pollution now, as we are fighting a war to find cheaper oil so we can burn more of it!

CITIZENS, NOT CONSUMERS!
Please go to www.teamsters.com to stop Mexican trucks from rolling on American highways beginning 9/5. American lives are at stake, U.S. truckers' pay will be undercut, and smuggling is expected.
The life you save may be your own.

What else can we do when there is not enough public transportation?

If we don't buy cars, they say the economy is slowing down. If we buy them, we are polluters.
What should we do?
However and more seriously, the writer is correct on internal combustion engines. Just about every thing else is upgraded and modernised. Time to decouple from oil companies and start thinking about new ways.

What if we just complain about the air and the traffic. That ought to make it better, doesn't it? Is that not enough?

Congratulations. You have clearly demonstrated that people don't care, no matter where they live. I also liked your reference to the western measure of development, which brings us pollution.
As mentioned in this article, governments and people (as stakeholders in their own socities) do next to nothing to protect the environment.

Eight years ago nobody except a few scientists had an inkling of the enormity and diversity of environmental problems.
Today noone has an excuse for continuing to dirty this world. We have a choice we can be conscientious and reduce the total levels of pollution or we can be callous and not care one iota about the damage that we are doing.
If we do not act today then our children will end up on the endangered species list.
UNtil nations receive clear leadership and strategies from their leaders little will be done to clean up our atmosphere.
Too many of us could not care less.
My wife and I run an environmental organisation to make the public aware of environmental problems and solutions. Almost no one cares. What a pity.
