Reading article "The Green Olympics" - Reply to this / 0 comment(s)
London 2012 is said to be 'the greenest ever':

"The ODA claims it will cut emissions to 50% by generating energy on the site and renewable energy.

It also said about 90% of the demolition materials will be reused or recycled and at least 20% of materials used in permanent venues and residential areas would be recycled.

And half of the construction materials will be transported to the Olympic Park by rail and water.

Walking, cycling and public transport will be promoted as the best ways to get to the events."

In all honesty, there's no way they could spend as much money as they will on the Olympics without using a green initiative to sweeten the deal, especially given that the 'Olympic tax' isn't all that popular.
