　　Beijing has released many rules and policies to deal with the most eyecatching environmental issues now--smog. Recently, a new regulation was announced that the region of banning of outdoor barbecues is going to be ex- tended from the downtown to countryside.

　　The government claims barbecue causes great air pollution and is the major culprit of environmentally harmful substances to the air which meet that standard of PM 2.5.

　　This policy caused great controversy among the citizens in those areas. Some advocates are willing to give up their rights of enjoying the outdoor barbecue, in order to make contribution to the environment. But the others tagged this policy as "empty talk", as they are more concerned about the pollution from the chemical toxins from the heavy industries.

　　In my opinion, it is essential to take some steps to protect the environment in Beijing. We should support it ff this measure show the function that keeps the air cleaner. What is more, to eat less barbecue is not a bad idea, as barbecue is not healthy.
