Ozone layer protection has
been stressed as one of the most important efforts to implement the Green
Olympics, which together with High-Tech Olympics and People's Olympics, are the
three concepts of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. BOCOG has been active in
implementing the Montreal Protocol, and has decided to prohibit the use of ODS
or its products in the construction of facilities and other activities.
-- Compiling of environmental guidelines for the Olympic project
construction/renovation, accommodation, marketing, and other big events of the
Olympics. According to these guidelines, NO ODS is allowed to be used for
air-conditioning systems, food preservation or fire extinguishers.
-- Exclusion of ODS in the Olympic projects procurement plans for
air-conditioners, fire-extinguishing equipment and construction materials.
-- Specific measures to be implemented in the Games-time big events, catering
& accommodation and transportation services to further enhance the
protection during the Games.
These measures give great support to the ozone layer protection and will make
a green Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing.
