1. The Paris Olympics will not install air conditioning in the Olympic Village
Since the last Tokyo Olympics, the Olympic Games have begun to put forward the concept of environmental protection, and in all aspects have begun to save resources and protect the environment, this concept has been more thoroughly embodied, and it can even be said that it is a bit excessive.
According to the information revealed by the organizers, in order to respond to the call for an environmentally friendly Olympic Games, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee unanimously decided that this time it will not install air conditioning in the indoor of the Olympic Village, but hopes to ensure the rest environment of athletes through other means.
As soon as this decision came out, it immediately aroused the attention and heated discussions of all parties, after all, Paris is a city with four distinct seasons, and the temperature can become unusually high in summer
When it comes to competition, athletes need to train and compete outdoors at high intensity, both physically and psychologically, so it is important for them to be able to have a cool environment when they return to the Olympic Village.
The Chinese delegation has also put forward its own views on this, believing that the environment of the Olympic Games must be kept within the right temperature range to ensure that the physical and mental state of the athletes can be optimal
In an extremely high temperature environment, if the indoor temperature cannot be effectively controlled, it will have a certain impact on the rest and sleep of athletes, and in severe cases, there may even be sudden situations such as heat stroke.
Doubts and protests from the outside world, the Paris Organising Committee has also begun to consider whether it is necessary to adjust this decision, after all, the physical and health of athletes is the most important, whether it is environmental protection or any other philosophy, can not be an obstacle to this.
Second, the Chinese delegation purchased its own air conditioners, and other countries followed suit
Today's Olympic Games are different from the past, each national delegation has its own voice and attitude, and will also express its own views and requirements on various issues, this time at the Paris Olympics
In any way, the shadows of various countries can be seen, and the problem of the lack of indoor air conditioning has been solved by the Chinese delegation in its own way.
Instead of simply accepting the status quo, they took the initiative to purchase a batch of mobile air conditioners to be used during the competition, so that no matter how the indoor and outdoor temperatures change, they can be adjusted through these air conditioners to ensure that the athletes have a comfortable rest environment.
The current Paris Organising Committee has also begun to consider this issue, saying that they can understand the concerns and requirements of various countries, and will also make adjustments according to the actual situation, and if there are some special equipment that needs to be used, they can apply to the organizers
As long as it meets the relevant regulations and standards, it can be allowed to be used, which is believed to provide a better competition environment for individual countries and athletes.
3. Other "frugal" measures of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee
In addition to being "thrifty" in the area of air conditioning, the Paris Organising Committee has also taken some "thrifty" measures in other aspects, hoping to reduce waste and protect the environment in various ways, adding some special colors to this year's Olympic Games.
In order to reduce carbon emissions and waste of resources, the Paris Organising Committee has started to promote vegetarian food in the catering service of the Olympic Village, at least one-third of the dishes provided are vegan, and the choice of meat will be reduced accordingly, so as to not only protect animals, but also reduce the impact on the environment, and make more people aware of the importance of vegetarianism.
In order to conserve water, the Paris Organising Committee also plans to use "rainwater cooling" on some projects, which collects and uses rainwater to provide cooling services for competition venues and other facilities, which can reduce the use of tap water and make more people aware of the importance of rainwater.
These measures of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee have also been affirmed by the International Olympic Committee, which expressed their full support for the work of the Paris Olympic Games, and also hopes that through such an event platform, the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development can be conveyed to the world, so that more people can participate in the cause of environmental protection.
epilogue
The original intention of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee is still the reaction of various countries, and we can see the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development, and such attitudes and practices are also worthy of our reference and consideration
Protecting the environment and resources, no matter where we are, is everyone's responsibility and for our own future and that of future generations.
