Green Options

That’s right sports fans, picture waving, crazy crowds of pure adrenaline all going green at once and likely not even knowing about it. Seriously, sport and concert crowds are huge. It is great when mass appeal product like the Bam-Bams can be produced in a more eco-friendly manner.

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are supposed to be the greenest yet. There has been some coverage on television, and despite all the attempts to clean things up beforehand and to limit especially the air pollution during the games, pictures from the city show it still in many ways to be a smoggy, grimy place. It’s not wholly bad, however. The buildings constructed for some of the competitions are architecturally striking, and they seem to be a functional success, as well. But how do they stack up as green buildings?
