! It's crazy to think that hosting a major event like the Winter Olympics can have such a massive impact on the environment. The numbers are mind-boggling - 46 potential locations with climate-reliable infrastructure? That's basically none, right? Interesting 
omg this is so worrying 
i mean i love winter sports as much as the next person but hosting an olympics that's literally contributing to climate change is just not cool 
the stats are crazy 1.3 million metric tons of co2 equivalent from sponsors alone... that's like, what, a whole year of emissions for some countries? 
and it's not just about the carbon footprint, think about all those ski resorts being lost due to glacial melting... it's heartbreaking 
anyway, i think it's time for organizers to rethink their sponsorship deals and maybe look into more eco-friendly options
