I had heard that the Olympics made a push this year to go green. I saw little of it on the news or in the media. But after reading this I was surprised how much was done (or at least attempted). The IOC and the folks in Vancouver made some very valiant efforts, but there's still a ways to go. I wonder what new steps will be taken in 2012 in London?
Not only are wind turbines an earth-friendly source of energy, but their proliferation has created a new job market for rock climbers, who previously never got paid to do what they do. As the New York Times reports, an increasing number of rock climbers are getting work as "rope workers" on the increasing number of turbines, doing maintenance and making repairs.
