Organizers of the 21th edition of the Winter Olympics (12-28 February), underway in Vancouver, are also in the race, such as athletes, to reach a series of eco-friendly set of goals .
The environmental sustainability program is indeed comprehensive and challenging. A great effort has been expended in the planning stage to minimize the environmental impact of the Games by taking the LEED green building principles in the construction of buildings and structures, and introducing sustainable mobility solutions designed to last, like ride-sharing, carpooling, cycling ecc., con l'iniziativa Travelsmart.
Alcune delle caratteristiche eco-friendly dei siti e degli impianti sportivi includono l'uso di fonti energetiche rinnovabili, l'utilizzo di acqua piovana per i servizi igienici, la gestione ecologica dei rifiuti. Persino le 1.000 medaglie da assegnare agli atleti saranno composte di materiale riciclato da scarti di apparecchiature elettroniche. Insomma, il piano predisposto ha stimato una riduzione di gas serra pari a 118.000 tonnellate. Nello stesso tempo le emissioni che non รจ stato possibile tagliare sono state compensate attraverso progetti basati su tecnologia pulita per rimuovere o evitare un'equivalente ammontare di emissioni inquinanti nell'atmosfera.
Ma l'evento agonistico Canada is also an opportunity to promote a greater awareness at the level of individual citizens of the environment. To obtain the participation of users provides an online tool to calculate your ecological footprint at the same time showing how to reduce or offset their emissions voluntarily.
In the same spirit was born "Do your video", an initiative aimed at young people of 13-24 years, in which small authors have ventured into the production of short animation clips having as its theme the development of new lifestyles for sustainability .
