An interesting article came out today from Scientific American that the 2010 Vancouver Olympics are using recycled metals. “Each medal was made with a tiny bit of the more than 140,000 tons of e-waste that otherwise would have been sent to Canadian landfills" says Larry Greenemeyer.
This is not just a good idea it is a great idea that the Olympic committees are looking at greening the games and looking from their past achievements and advances on what ideas can make the games more eco friendly.
You can take a look at all the ways that corporate sponsorship and the city of Vancouver are actively promoting a greener Olympics.
I will personally pledge that if Denver Colorado ever submits a successful bid that Cellular Recycler will donate a container of used cell phones that will have an even larger percentage of the precious metals found in them than the Canadians used by recycling cathode ray tube glass and computer parts.
With the 250,000+ cell phones that can be smelted for precious metals we will work with other American refineries, coordinate some serious nationwide e waste community recycling drives and get the precious metals to 100%.
If my readers would like to talk to me personally I would be glad to open up the communication lines and develop a real plan for the next Olympics that are held here in America of the 2012 games in London.
