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?
