Sustainability at Paris 2024 Olympics

 We are so excited about the Olympics in Paris 2024, but are they sustainable? We began by discussing what we already knew about the Olympics:

Aavin "The Olympics are happening in France".

Milana "The Olympics are all sorts of sports competitions."

We also recapped what sustainability means:

Alonso "Sutainability means good quality"

Karuna "Sustainability means resusing things and not just throwing them away".

Luke "Keeping the world clean and taking care of it"

Lakyn "Looking after the environment" 

We discovered all the ways the Paris Olympics has said they are being more sustainable like planting a forest in Africa, using plastic bottles to make seats and water cooling instead of air conditioning. 

Lastly, we thought about what we could invent to make the 2028 Olympics even more sutainable: Camelia created a carbon dioxide sucking machine.  Annabelle thought of a airplane made of plastic bottles that is wind powered.  Coby suggested more electric helicopers.

What are you looking forward to watching at the Olympics? 

Next time we'll start our new topic looking at native birds.
