[GreenYes] Zero Waste Olympics redux

[Helen Spiegelman <hspie@no.address>]

Vancouver is bidding on the 2010 Winter Olympics. In a plebiscite this 
month, Vancouver voters will send a signal to the IOC on whether there is 
popular support for the games. The vote is expected to be evenly split.

The Recycling Council of BC is considering a stream of sessions at its June 
conference (one month before the IOC decision) that will look at how to 
make a Zero Waste Olympics.

Gary Liss provided an excellent summary of the SL Olympics on the GRRN 
website http://grrn.org/olympics/olympics_update_01-21-02.html. I note that 
this weekend is a big one-year anniversary of the SL Olympics in Salt Lake 
(http://www.saltlake2002.com/) but there is NO MENTION OF REPORT CARD on 
how they did on the Zero Waste goal.

Does anyone -- Gary?? -- have a progress report?

Helen.
