The
Sustainability strategy for London’s 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games will make it by far the greenest Games
the world has ever seen, says London 2012 bid
sustainability partner BioRegional Development Group.
As part of a joint initiative
called One Planet Living, BioRegional and WWF have worked with London
2012’s environment team to produce a strategy for the Games
which has impressed independent environmental experts and may have
helped sway the IOC’s decision.
BioRegional, who have over 10
years experience in sustainable development projects, worked closely
with London 2012 to research and write the ‘Towards a One
Planet Olympics’ report which details solutions for zero waste
and low carbon strategies, local supply networks, sustainable transport
, wildlife biodiversity and an ongoing legacy for a sustainable
community.
Sue Riddlestone Co-Director of
BioRegional said "London 2012 have worked in a true partnership
with us on the sustainability strategy. Like the whole of Britain
we are so proud of the bid team and we look forward to playing our
part in a Games which will have sustainability at its heart and
leave a lasting legacy for East London and for future Olympic Games"
