The U.S. Olympic team is one of a handful that will supply air conditioners for their athletes at the Paris Games in a move that undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions.
U.S. Olympic and Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland said Friday that while the U.S. team appreciates efforts aimed at sustainability, the federation would be supplying AC units for what is typically the largest contingent of athletes at the Summer Games.
“As you can imagine, this is a period of time in which consistency and predictability is critical for Team USA’s performance,” Hirshland said. “In our conversations with athletes, this was a very high priority and something that the athletes felt was a critical component in their performance capability.”
The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada and Britain were among the other countries with plans to bring air conditioners to France.
I hope you’re vegan
Only vegetarian at the moment but maybe someday.
why?
Because it’s better for the environment and can be done healthily, unlike flirting with heart stroke for no reason lol
being vegan has no effect on the environment
Lol sure thing buddy, whatever you got to tell yourself
this is an appeal to ridicule, not a rebuttal.
Lol You didn’t provide a rebuttal to my claim either
as it turns out, i provided exactly as much evidence as you did, but you have, once again, included an appeal to ridicule.
My point is proven science, you didn’t ask for a source you just claimed the opposite, so you’re on the same footing as me.
Except for my point is obvious, between the methane and animal waste run off, the water required for animal agriculture, the waste products unused from meat production, and the fact that you have to grow even more plants to feed the animals instead of eating the plants directly, I don’t see why on earth you wouldn’t see how being vegan has a smaller footprint.
Read a scientific study in-between your theory, sometime.
Guys just mad that individuals make choices to better the world around them. He wants to keep consuming and feel good about it.
