Global
Recycling Day, March 18th, had its honors during two separate sports
events in Athens,Greece.
INSTITUTE
TEAM FOR THE WORLD, an ngo-npo focusing in bridging sport, environmental
protection and sustainability has organized the recycling schemes in APHRODITE
CUP,an international rhythmic gymnastics tournament and the ATHENS HALF
MARATHON, both held on the 18th of March.
During
APHRODITE CUP, a thorough packaging and paper recycling program has been
implemented , in one of the biggest indoor halls in Athens. Gymnasts,
spectators and officials were informed and followed the recycling streams. This
tournament is one of the very few in
gymnastics globally to have endorsed an integrated environmental agenda
encompassing, recycling, environmental awareness raising and social
sustainability actions.
In the
frame of the ATHENS HALF MARATHON, the Green Team of the event, put together on
a voluntary basis by INSTITUTE TEAM FOR THE WORLD, has manned the recycling
stations along the 21,3 Km , 5Km races and “collected” more than 1.4 tons of
PET plastic water bottles used by the more than 20,000 runners, which were forwarded
for final sorting and recycling.
