Good news for the [German] greenies…

The coming World Cup Football will be the first that did take a great deal of environmental measures for the games.
Goal of this is to organise the first big “climate neutral” sports event. A great initiative to my opinion.

Targets are set for refuse, the use of transportation, energy and water.
The lights (floods?) that will light the games have new lamps that only use half of the energy of the older ones, the big signs with advertisements will be recyclable and the rain water will be collected for further use for instance.

I think the Germans are making a nice start with this, but shouldn’t win the games…[hey, I am still dutch... ;-) ] Next to all of that I am so glad that I don’t have too look at these games!!!
