The 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China will be using solar energy to heat the shower water in the Olympic village. This state of the art solar power energy system will provide hot showers for over 10,000 athletes, showing that alternative energy can be a powerful force when harnessed properly.
This solar system, which is to be installed later next year, was donated by the Italian government to the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The Beijing Olympics organizers have committed themselves to making the 2008 games to be environmentally friendly in a multitude of ways. This seems to be a new trend that is emerging in the worldwide sports community. The World Cup proved that alternative energy can go a long way to help reduce our impact on the environment.
