Eco-Friendly Hangzhou Asian Games: Embracing Sustainability and Nature

2023-09-22 04:17:07

Hangzhou: The color of China is red. But the color of the 19th Asian Games, which will begin tomorrow in Hangzhou, China, is green. From the trees planted in the streets to the green energy powering the Games venues, the Hangzhou Asian Games is green. The organizers, who have decided to avoid fireworks in tomorrow’s official opening ceremony, have made it clear to the world that they will not harm nature. A firework-free opening ceremony is the first in recent Asian Games.

Support nature

All the way through Hangzhou, the city of games, you will see trees planted along the road. When you think regarding this much environmental love, you see 3 more iron legs that have been placed to support them. It is a little late that China, which was far ahead in environmental pollution, is convinced that wood is a boon. Trees and plants were uprooted from other provinces of China and brought to the Games City. The iron legs are to prevent ‘artificially’ planted trees from collapsing. The city has newly laid out lawns and gardens bearing the Games seal and mascot.

∙ Stadium from waste materials

China, which reduced the construction of the Asian Games venues as much as possible, is refurbishing the old ones. Out of the total 56 venues, only 12 stadiums were newly constructed. Recycled waste materials were used for their construction. The solar plant in Huangchu supplies electricity to the Games venues and Games Villages. The facilities at the water sports venues aim to reduce water usage by a fifth.

∙ Wireless charging

China’s progress is also in the charging of electric vehicles with a wireless system. About 100 electric buses and cars have been put on the road for the travel of the Asian Games guests. A special surface has been set up in the games village and venues for charging them. Vehicles can be parked on this surface for charging.
