Way to go Canada! I’m not sure if I’m just out of the loop, or if the next Olympics just hasn’t been publicized much yet, but the next Olympics in Vancouver in 2010 is going to be green. You may be cynical, as I initially was, thinking this is just another case of “green washing,” but in fact the Vancouver Olympic Committee has developed an impressive and extensive website detailing their plans to make the next Winter Olympics sustainable, in many senses of the term. From building, to transportation to Aboriginal involvement and collaboration, the Vancouver Olympic Committee has identified sustainability issues and laid plans for addressing them.
