The London 2012 Olympics are going to be the greenest games in history, according to organizers of the event. With 2,012 days to go (really) to the 2012 Games, the body in charge of construction and design said it would champion low waste, low carbon emissions and green transportation.
Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) chief executive David Higgins said: "Ensuring a sustainable approach to building the Games will help ensure London 2012 is remembered not only as two weeks of fantastic sporting action, but also as the greenest games to date." The ODA claims it will cut emissions to 50% by generating energy on the site and renewable energy. It also said about 90% of the demolition materials will be reused or recycled and at least 20% of materials used in permanent venues and residential areas would be recycled.
