摘要
为了对抗污染和全球变暖，印尼南雅加达市的官员们目前必须骑自行车外出办公。该市发言人艾哈迈德·苏塔说，“他们可以有私家车，开车上班，但外出办公必须骑车。这是强制性规定。骑自行车能够减少污染，防止全球变暖，还有助于身体健康。此外，官员们骑自行车能穿过狭窄的小巷去居民家，这样能更好地了解民众。开车的话就做不到这一点。”
City officials in South Jakarta must now cycle when performing their duties, in a move to help combat pollution and global warming. ＂They can own a car and drive to work, but they must cycle when travelling to do their work,＂ South Jakarta city spokesman Ahmad Sotar said, ＂This is compulsory. Cycling will not only reduce pollution and global warming, but also promote good health.＂ He added, ＂The officials can also get to know their residents better since now they can cycle through the narrow alleyways to reach their homes. They can＇t do so if they drive.＂
