Vancouver 2010 and Earth Day

In honour of Earth Day I thought I'd point you back to VANOCs Sustainability Report that was released March 31, 2008 and was the subject of a previous blog post.

Areas VANOC says it's working on improving and/or focusing on over the next 12 months include:

• transportation planning
• avoiding disruption or displacement in inner-city communities during Games-time
• additional reductions in carbon emissions and development of a program for neutralizing or offsetting the carbon footprint of the Games
• food and beverage services
• diverting further waste from landfill
• training, recruitment and business opportunities for inner-city residents and businesses, Aboriginal communities, persons with a disability, and social and environmental enterprises
• public participation opportunities that increase awareness of sustainable living choices
