Olympic Games environmental shortcomings criticised
The London 2012 Olympics promised a great deal in terms of green operations, but it looks as though organisers will not meet the environmental pledges they originally aimed for.
Going for Green – a new environmental report on the Games has suggested that organisers will have to do much more work in the coming months to ensure they meet the ecological targets they originally planned.
The report has outlined shortcomings regarding the number of electric vehicles procured for the event and concerns surrounding renewable electricity.
Darren Johnson, chairman of the Environment Committee, said:
Things to consider:We fully support London 2012’s ambition to be the most sustainable Olympic and Paralympic Games in recent history, and there has been some excellent work towards that goal.
However we don’t want to see environmental standards compromised in the run-up to what I am sure will be a fantastic Games.
We need to see clear targets for re-using temporary materials, more detail on how organisers will promote sustainable travel and plans for recycling facilities on site and around London.
