While the organizer's are setting the stage for a greener Olympics, you can play your part in making a difference. Here are some simple yet impactful ways to embrace sustainability during the games:
- Get active for short journeys. Use the Olympic spirit as motivation to walk, cycle, or even run instead of using the car for short journeys.
- Get energized with a plant-based meal. A lot of foods derived from plants include micronutrients, which naturally boost a body’s energy level, so try incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet to stay energized and healthy.
- Use refillable water bottles. Bring a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go, whether you’re out and about or channeling your inner athlete at the gym.
- Support Sustainable Brands. When shopping for Olympic merchandise or any other products, choose brands that priorities sustainability. Look for items made from recycled materials, and support companies with strong environmental ethics.
- Spread the word: One of the great things about these being the greenest Olympics ever, is that it’s bringing the sustainability topic to a wider audience. You can do that too by talking about sustainability, or sharing things you are doing to inspire others.
The 2024 Olympics is more than just a showcase of athletic talent, it’s a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we come together with a common goal. By adopting sustainable practices in our daily lives, we contribute to a larger movement that supports the health of our planet. Every small action counts, and together, we can ensure that the legacy of the greenest Olympics ever extends far beyond the closing ceremony.
