How green are the Tokyo Olympics?

from GreenBites · host GreenBites

From medals made from recycled metals to podiums, athlete beds and even torches, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been hyped as the greenest games so far. Yet it is not without criticism as NGOs and experts have found evidence suggesting that all of this attention may just simply be greenwashing. In this week’s GreenBites, we will look at some of these concerns , discuss a climate forum held in Bangladesh, and talk about the reintroduction of the trawling ban in Indonesia.  Production credits: Production by Sustainable Asia Hosts: Bonnie Au and Khoa Tran Producers: Bonnie Au and Khoa Tran Production Supervisor: Bonnie Au Executive Producer: Marcy Trent Long Intro/outro music: Alex Mauboussin Transition Music: Xylo-Ziko - Termites We also have a Mandarin Greenbites show, check it out now!
