The Association of Whistler Area Residents for the Environment (AWARE) has serious concerns about the negative environmental impacts of the Olympic Games. These include: loss of biodiversity; huge energy & water demands; increased greenhouse gas emissions & waste and a lack of institutional accountability. Locally, Whistler’s valuable natural assets have been irreversibly damaged, moving us AWAY from our goal of becoming a sustainable community. AWARE would like to provide warnings & solutions to the problems experienced in Whistler, to the IOC and future host cities, because THESE GAMES ARE NOT GREEN!
