Greenest Olympics
July 19, 2024
The Paris 2024 Olympics aims to be the most sustainable games yet, using mostly pre-existing renewable powered venues, offering plant-based food options, and implementing various eco-friendly initiatives. These include using recycled materials for medals, using furniture made from shuttlecocks, ensuring. second life for many of the over 620,000 items of furnishing, and using 30 electric boats in the opening ceremony. However, significant challenges remain, such as concerns about heat, water quality, and pressure for broader environmental action from sponsors.
