  • Environmental Sustainability Issues in the Olympics

    508 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Centennial Olympic Congress of Paris recognized these problems and incorporated the environment as a “third pillar” of the Olympic charter, along with sports and culture. The UN Environment Program (UNEP), now a veteran and influential player in this arena, was among the first to get involved with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to work towards environmental sustainability issues in the Olympics. UNEP has also worked with the IOC to develop an “Agenda 21” for the Olympic Movement based on environmental sustainability guidelines created by delegates at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development. In the year 1994 the IOC committed itself to encourage sustainability among its member nations and sports governing bodies by adopting its own Agenda 21. This agenda is being used by several National Olympic Committees for sustainable development work at the national level (Pitts, A. 2009).

    Sustainability is an issue that everyone should be concerned about. If the planet Earth is going to exist, as we know it, everyone should wake up and do their part to help achieve a greater level of sustainability. In my English 101 class we learned about the issue of sustainability. Many different topics were discussed and researched throughout the course of the semester. Overall, I think that the sustainability project has been a learning and enlightening experience for everyone in this class. Many more things can be done next semester, since the groundwork has been laid to continue this project for time to come.

  • London Olympics Impacts

    1327 Words  | 3 Pages

    The focus on sustainability was a major contributing factor for London being voted to host the 2012 Olympic games. This focus was established from the moment won the bid in 2005. Previously, host nations have been under scrutiny for the lack of sustainability in the construction, waste, and mass transit. Sustainability in construction was a big priority, so many buildings and where made of recycled materials, like the velodrome, which is constructed of 100% sustainably-sourced timber and the Copper box recycled rainwater and reduced water use by 40%. One of the biggest achievements was Olympic Park that was built on a once-contaminated industrial land, which has since become the largest new urban parkland in Europe built in the last 150 years (London 2012’s sustainability legacy lives on, 2013).

  • Why the 2014 FIFA World Cup Should Not Take Place in Brazil

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since it began in 1930, the FIFA World Cup has been the largest single event sports competition in the world. Every four years FIFA, the Fédération International de Football Association, calls upon thirty-two of the world’s greatest soccer teams to compete in the stadiums of the host country. In addition to having one of the top competing teams, Brazil will also be hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The 31 day tournament begins in Sao Paulo on June 12th and ends with the championship match in Rio de Janeiro on July 13th. In recent months Brazil has been busy preparing to host the tournament in twelve brand new stadiums around the nation. The World Cup will cost Brazil an estimated fourteen billion dollars, an amount that continues to increase as plans for the tournament become more elaborate. The amount of money the country will be spending on the tournament angers many of the nation’s citizens. Protests have become a daily occurrence in Brazil as citizens rally against the construction of stadiums and the arrangement of the expensive tournament. It has been argued that hosting the World Cup will benefit Brazil’s businesses and economy; however, the upper class will profit from the publicity of the games, not the thirty-five percent of the population living under the poverty level. The 2014 FIFA World Cup should not take place in Brazil due to the need for improvements in law enforcement, education, and the threat of extreme poverty.
