A little more than a year left and countries will again compete for the Olympic gold medals. This time though, things will get green as it has never been before. But athletes, you don’t have to worry about anything. It will be “green” as in eco-friendly and not as envy.
Adidas, the official sponsor of 2012 Olympic participants is planning to make the event as environment-friendly as possible. The giant sports gear company is designing and producing clothing for the staff, volunteers and torchbearers made of recycled materials.
Plans for 100% recycled shoes and water bottles for the participants were also made.
Is 2012 Olympic Games going to be that green? Well, there’s exactly 421 days left to know if it will. However, just hearing about the “green” plans is already a good thing. It shows that more and more are now becoming aware of the help our planet needs.

When it comes to the threads worn by staff, volunteers and torchbearers during the 2012 Olympics, Adidas is intent on making them as green as possible.
The sports giant and Olympics sponsor announced earlier this week that the 70,000 participants will all wear clothing (Buttons, polyester and cotton) made from recycled materials. There are also plans for special “recycled” shoes and the world’s first 100% recycled water bottle. (Why do I find this hard to believe that one doesn’t already exist? Really?)
In terms of the athletes, Stella McCartney is leading that charge and reportedly producing some spectacular stuff. “I have seen the prototypes already and I think what she is designing is truly phenomenal,” said Adidas Chief Executive Herbert Hainer. No word yet on just how green the athlete uniforms will be, but if the volunteer threads are any indication, you can expect recycled materials are at the very least part of the plan.

It is good to know that giant companies are joining the cause to help the earth. However, they can’t do all the work. Everybody needs to assist to build a more sustainable planet.
You can help even with just simple steps. Ditching chemical-based cleaners and switching to green cleaning products is one of the green moves you can make. Simple as it is, it can make a big difference.
Apart from assisting you in effectively fulfilling your daily cleaning duty, eco-friendly cleaners can also make your home environment safe. The absence of harmful chemicals in their list of ingredients steers you away from possible toxin-related allergies and other diseases.
