Staging the Games is an enormous task, with major financial, social and environmental implications and seven years of intense organization and planning. It's too soon to tell what the outcome of all these efforts will be, but they have made plans for recycling, worm composting, sustainable building, as well as other environmental initiatives. Sydney outlined their commitment to the Environment in 1993, by submitting Environmental Guidelines in their bid for the Olympics. Most of the new purpose-built Olympic sporting venues have been designed to maximize energy efficiency, conserve water, and preserve indoor air quality. All are constructed from environmentally-friendly materials, using building processes specially designed to minimize waste.
Transportation is another major issue during the Olympic Games.
To ensure that the impact is significantly reduced, all spectators will use public transport to travel to and from venues. In fact, the ticketing system has been specially designed so that anybody purchasing a ticket to an Olympic event also receives a pass to travel free on Olympic transport routes for the entire day. This event happened in the past. Internet links are no longer available. The program assembles information about these products and makes it available to specific agency users who can evaluate them and develop applications in County projects.
