In the 1970s and 1980s a deadly cocktail of toxic factory fumes and car pollution had turned Mexico City into the world鈥檚 most contaminated city. In response, the Mexican authorities came up with an ambitious solution: curb the use of each of the city鈥檚 two million vehicles for one day a week, the first time any country had tried such a bold plan.
