Few wks, ago went to a presentation on what will be done to make the upcoming 2010 Olympics, the most environmentally sustainable Olympics so far. It is an animation that aims to teach ...no words, just music, moving images. Images had to 'speak' to a multilingual audience since sustainability is a difficult concept that can require lots of explanation to a broad audience.
Yes, there are some concepts which clearly some Vancouverites might recognize. Beetles refer to the mountain pine beetle scarred wood that was used (instead of discarded) for the roof the Olympic speedskating Oval facility.
Anyway we'll see. Bikes do have a place in all this. THere will be 1,000 bike parking spaces.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.
